One by one, his old friends are being knocked off by sinister forces, orchestrated by a crooked, and legally untouchable, politician. Amidst a plethora of martial arts, gunfire and explosions, the film briefly pauses for a comic-relief scene involving over-aged bellboy Jim Backus. Good Guys Wear Black did so well at the box-office that it warranted a sequel, A Force of One (1979). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Cool shot of heroic John T. Booker (Chuck Norris) kicking a windshield of a moving car, though I found out somewhere that was Chuck's brother doing the amazing stunt. It's true!

    I'll give this one 4 stars, if for nothing other than his pimp shades he's rockin throughout the movie. This one is Mr. Roundhouse at his finest.

Typical early-career Norris chop-socky cop stuff.
