Saving the day...

Post by Shadeslayer »

So I just got done watching Walker Texas Ranger and guess what? Walker didn't save the day. A ghost from the 1850's did. Walker was about to get killed and this ranger from years ago comes out as a ghost form and saves the day. I picked out about 15 things wrong with just that episode. Like the grave stone from the ghost was made of wood and its like 150 years old and still in perfect condition. Right!

Share your bad Walker experience's! See any funny episodes you just have to get off your chest?

I've actually never seen WTR. I got really pissed off at all the racists in Hollywood, because Bruce Lee actually wrote the script ideas, and he was also supposed to be Walker Texas Ranger, but those bastards wouldn't let a "foreign Asian" play an "American's role". As a Japanese-American, I was thoroughly pissed off.

uhh... CTfan, I do believe you're talking about 'Kung-Fu' because walker Debuted in the 90s and bruce has been dead '78 IIRC...

Plus, just want to say something, if you're getting your Bruce Lee info from 'Dragon: the bruce lee story' you might wanna look elsewhere, okay movie, but the likes of ppl such as Linda Lee-Cadwell have already discredited the majority of that movie, and I don't remember if Bruce 'creating' Kung Fu for David Carridine to get the part was a part of the myths in there... but I seem to think it was.

BUT: back onto the subject, I've always found Walker, Texas Ranger, to be at best a laughable 'tough-guy' TV show... and at worst, just laughable... it never was that good, and IMHO Chuck Norris isn't to great of a martial arts actor, he only really had one good movie ("The Octagon")

My bad :oops: ! And by the way, I know that although The Dragon is mildly entertaining, it's pretty much crap. Come on, EVERYONE knows that Bruce's back problem didn't come from a flying side-kick due to an ignorant group of old martial artists.

As far as Norris, I think roundhouse kick is all he knows :lol: ! And actually, Bruce DID help write Kung-Fu. He mentions the philosophies he wanted to portray in the show in his Tao of Jeet-Kune Do.
