Ever wonder why there aren't any wandering gangs of motorcyclists terrorizing small towns or any genetically engineered super-humans going on killing sprees? Silent Rage answers those questions and provides other Chuck Norris facts like: Chuck Norris needs little to no reason to take off his shirt and Chuck Norris listens to Muzak while at home (which is a level of bad-ass that I can't even comprehend).
And, do you like nipples? This movie has like twenty nipple shots!*
* Only half of which are female, sorry...

Have you ever read I am Legend by Richard Matheson? They made a few movies from the novel, the most recent starring Will Smith. It was actually based on factual events, a time when Chuck Norris saved the world from zombies. Silent Rage is a different telling of those same events. Based on what you most likely "know" about zombies, though, it might be hard to tell that this monster is one. Real zombies are different from your standard fictionalized ones, and both Silent Rage and I am Legend try to reflect the true nature of zombies by making them less like what you probably expect. You might say it's just some other sort of undead, and if that's what you need to do for it to make sense, then you go right ahead.
Stephen Furst plays Charlie, deputy to Chuck Norris's Dan. It's a fun early role for Furst, whose third movie was the classic Animal House (silent rage is his ninth, as best I can tell), but he didn't go on to many high profile roles. My favorite role of his, from the few I've seen, is Babylon 5's Vir Cotto, and a great chatacter on the Freakazoid! cartoon. Charlie isn't the best role, but what man's early acting career would be complete without a chance to go ga-ga for gozongas?
The movie title is a pretty good description of the zombie's motivation, but ol' Chucky-boy is pretty silent himself. We really wanted to find some good dialogue scenes for you to watch, but the best we could come up with was with Charlie in his arms, and that scene really belongs to Stephen, not Chuck. I've also come to expect roundhouse kicks from Mr. Norris, partly due to Walker, Texas Ranger, but largely because of Conan O'Brien. Well, I was disappointed. There are plenty of fights, flying kicks, and almost-roundhouses, but nothing is seen of the genuine article. Come to think of it, I was disappointed with him in general.
Still, there are a lot of good laughs here, and you might just learn a thing or two about the true nature of zombies.
