We live in an age where the actual people that helped to drag anime kicking and screaming to screens and VHS players across the U.S. are literally being ignored for Mother's Basement & Trash Taste. Go watch this interview and learn something now: youtu.be/74J5fK9DDM4?si…

Chuck Norris is a lot of things - a vet, a star, a meme, and a pioneer in the American Martial Arts scene who just so happens to be a MAGA avatar for neoliberal B.S. But I'm not here to flatten him. I'm here to mourn him. Here's to you Chuck, and all that you've done. RIP man.

Besides Way of the Dragon, what are some other good Chuck Norris fights? Haven't seen much of his films but I'd be curious to check some out. Choreography be dammed, Joe Piscopo hamming it up to honey glazed levels makes this point match in Sidekicks a top contender for me 🙃

@MeloDotty @BrokenOptics I grew up with him on my TV but yeah, at the end of his amazing life where he gave a lot to the American Martial Arts community, he was also a neocon that advocated for some terrible things.

@BrokenOptics ultra con prick. Funny memes. I just didn't tear the guy down cuz I don't like to do that when people just died. But I agree. Just letting people have their fun with their memes one last time and to grieve.

Eh, Chuck Norris is dead. I was never really a fan of the dude, I preferred a host of others in the martial arts space, my dad was a big fan of his missing in action movies. I know separate art from artist, but he was a racist dickbag who made it his life for the last 30 years

@BrokenOptics And that's fucked up. That what happens when you're an action star that's the embodiment of the Neoliberal American Hero. You start believing your own hype and become a deranged subhuman that makes They Live look like a cakewalk. Thanks for this bevity man.

@NaikaVideo I see it as this, one can celebrate a career, but when one spends the last half of their life pushing anti human shit I can’t really in good conscience celebrate further. What he did hurt a lot of people. His last acts were in support of the ICE kidnappings.

Chuck Norris really ushered in the white male military karate B list movie star...a cinematic archetype that would be popularized by Jean Claude Van Damme later on

@NaikaVideo @VyceVictus There's a whole breadth of low-budget shorts and dtv flicks featuring these young kids in martial arts with great foundations and chemistry that could easy helm a vehicle but Hollywood doesn't want to do a good old fashioned vehicle anymore!

Everybody responding with the DTV/Stunt actor/87 Eleven talent we all know and love, but that’s not what he’s talking about. The point is we’ll never get the equivalent of a major theatrical release like this again

Pete Lee@kungfupete

We live in an era with more Hollywood martial arts movie made than ever but with fewer stars who actually knows martial arts. Like JCVD was probably one of the least skilled martial arts stars of his era but we have no one right now who’s even remotely close to him.

No disrespect for the YouTubers mentioned but it's infuriating how the former is pulse pointed to trends while the later is 5-7 years late when noticing patterns in the medium. Please for God's sake dig deeper.

@PZRequiK @Gunlord500 MD Geist the most absolute batshit OVA ever, earning it's cult status in spades....and then the sequel came out which was worse in almost every single way

@NaikaVideo @Gunlord500 To be blunt, it’s poorly made and flimsier in concept, but it managed to click a few things right enough to get people interested I want a quick bite action pieces to show off possibilities of animation, some designs to start spinning gears, it’s the RWBY of its time

@Beefy_Kunoichi Loved this fight and the other fights across Iron Angels 3 since it features SO MANY Thai stuntmen, including Tony Jaa's mentor.

At the end of this interview, the audio was left running a while after. Moments like this are seldom ever captured and it's very special to think this series about anime business history became a part of that history. This is the moment Robert offered up AnimEigo to MediaOCD:

Dude both co-created the RPG series(Wizardry) that laid the groundwork for many games since, AND helped put anime in front of westerners back in the day. Like Dragon Quest, Dark Souls, and plenty of other games exist, in a way, because of this man. Wizardry was that influential.
