With his psychiatrist sweetheart Kay (Brynn Thayer), pregnant with their first child, the Terror escapes.

This routine actioner provides a view of several historic sights in Santa Monica, California. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

    Extremely well made and genuinely scary! Martial arts superstar Chuck Norris packs a powerful punch in this exciting action-thriller about a tough L.A. cop's pursuit of a savage villain (Jack O'Halloran) from his past. Adroitly directed with startling images and horrowing action ... read morescenes, Hero and the Terror is edge-of-your-seat suspense from beginning to end!
