Howd Chuck Norris destroy a tank company?


I know hes Lone Wolf, but he must have a armed Predator Drone following him around and helicoptors to carry him around the world on a whim or something? he killed a crapload of guys and blew a tank up by himself? and convientiently pops up at random battles to to save Stallone and gang. "Just happened to be in the neighborhood" lol.

He's Chuck Norris. He can do anything he wants.

Knawmean?!

reply

im pretty sure it was intended for comedic effect. but if you want to get technical about it. im sure he had some kinda special weapon planted on a roof that took out the tank, possibly with a remote. and then norris shot up the rest.

Darn, took the words right out of my mouth


Smile, you're on camera

Basically, this.

Not bad for a man in his seventies.

reply

Thought he just stared at them until they died. But yea, given the King Cobra joke, this was probably done for comedic effect playing up to the whole "Chuck Norris is so tough.." jokes which are popular these days.

reply

........ because Chuck Norris.

God will forgive them, he'll forgive them and allow them into heaven.I can't live with that.


[b]God will forgive them, he

My favorite scene of the EX2.

reply

He might have had a disposable LAW, which is pretty effective against those old Soviet-era clunkers (though I think the tank they destroyed was a T-72).

I pretend to work because the Soviet government pretends to pay me.

reply

Anyone else thought the king cobra joke was a reference to Stallones Cobra?

reply

A lot of lines and scenes in this movie are paying tribute and poking fun at the actors. Like Bruce and Arnold copying each other's catchphrases in the final shootout. That's what this was, adding some comedic tribute to the Chuck Norris jokes. I think he was also called the lone wolf because in a lot of Chuck's movies, he preferred to work on his own. Possibly also a tribute to Lone Wolf Mcquade.

reply

Also, Chuck Norris lives at the Lone Wolf Ranch.

reply

the cobra line was in refrence to the real life chuck norris joke

reply

This was obvioously, and hilariously I might add, a long play on the Chuck Norris jokes that are often funny, like those Dos Equis commercials.

What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?

Its a joke told in another action movie, but cant really pin point which one, and its about a grandfather getting bit by a snake.

LAW would be pretty useless against a T-72. In the (Finnish) military we were taught NEVER to try and actually destroy any Russian tank with it, just disable one.
In Vietnam US Marines used LAWs against WW2 vintage T-34/85s, to little effect.

Yeah, Soviet tanks would break down on their own.

reply

That's because when a bullet comes out of Chuck Norris's gun, it is assisted by the hand of God.

What gun?

Norris simply tosses bullets into the air and then roundhouse kicks them at his enemies.

The gun is a prop, kinda like jewelry for badasses.

reply

Because he's Chuck Norris!

1. Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead. It's just afraid to move.

2. Chuck Norris and Superman once fought each other on a bet. The loser had to start wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants.

3. Chuck Norris can cut through a hot knife with butter.

4. Chuck Norris counted to infinity...twice!

5. Chuck Norris won American Idol using only sign language.

6. Chuck Norris made a happy meal cry.

7. Chuck Norris can bake a cake in a freezer.

8. There is no theory of evolution; just those creatures that Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

9. Chuck Norris can start a fire by rubbing two ice cubes together.

10. The original title of "Alien vs. Predator" was "Alien and Predator vs. Chuck Norris." The film was canceled shortly after going into pre-production. No one would be $10 to see a movie that was only 14 seconds long.

It's true that I never read responses.

reply

Time travel is impossible but Chuck Norris can kick through 3 different dimensions, and one time even kicked his own ass.

Not really hard seeing as how they were already distracted. A Javelin missile can easily take out a tank (the missle came from up top implying that he probably either brought a stash with him or had it on the roof already) and all you need is training and abit of practice (which was implied) to hold a machine gun and/or assault rifle with extended mag to take out the men. As for the convenience, perhaps it was coincidence? Maybe he actually was in the neighborhood?

reply

Or perhaps he simply shot them all out and the tank, from higher ground, like a fire exit stairs?

reply

Well I mean.. In the movie you see an actual missile or RPG hit the tank. Kinda why I brought up the Javelin theory (could also be an RPG). Not to mention you cant really shoot inside of a closed tank with an assault rifle lol.

reply

Well, yeah. My suggestion supports that. He probably attacked them all from higher ground somewhere.

reply

That wasn't a missile, it was the actual impact from a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

reply

LoL, you might be right. Never thought about that!

reply

Because he's effing Chuck Norris.
