Waste of time

Too much of everything

Such a frustrating disappointment

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

In the '80s Golan Globus made many action oriented movies that were entertaining and easy to enjoy. This one is another one of their movies that features Chuck Norris.These guys sure had the formula down. They were the Asylum of those days, borrowing ideas from other A list movies and making a spoof. The quality of this one is one of the best out of all the movies they've made. There's plot, there's story, and there're the actors.If not high on seriousness, the movie is high on entertainment value. World really looked different in the '80s. Things were much more light hearted. I'm not sure if the world we live in today is better than it was back then.Nice effort on the part of the producers, and the actors did just fine. One of the better Chuck Norris film from the '80s.

Max Donigan and his partner Leo Porter are two soldiers of fortune. Leo is thinking of calling it quits, but when a young lady, Patricia comes by with a map and asks for their help of finding a lost treasure. They take up the task with adventurous results and must face El Coyote, a descendant of Indian priests.What a team! Chuck Norris, Lou Gossett and Melody Anderson gave this buddy flick much-added spark with their cheerful banter and charismatic persona. "Firewalker" does go for that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" appeal, but only in small doses and in a very cheap foray. The comic book premise is outrageously silly and pure corn, but it's an eventful ride with spontaneous actions making it unpredictable and the mockery was a nice touch. It even walks a fine line between the supernatural / superstitious elements. There's not doubt it's quite childish, far-fetched and it might not be a successful blend, but director J Lee Thompson makes great use of the fiery performances, easy-going script (even though it will make you roll your eyes for most part) and stunning locations, which kept me involved. It took a while before Norris released those infamous skills he bestows, but when in the flow. Watch the damage occur! As Norris is on the job. Gossett chips in with nice array of wisecracks and the two formed a great, side-splitting and believable team. Anderson simply radiates in her quirky role. Sonny Landham makes one hammy villain with a hokey evil laugh. At best these are cartoonish characters with a lot of charm and a growing appeal.It maybe wasn't as fun as I remembered it to be when I saw it ages ago, but it's a enjoyably lightweight and unpretentious romp with Norris kicking in with his slow motion jump kicks. Oh yeah!

Chuck Norris and Louis Gossett Jr star as two adventurers who find themselves running after the "Firewalker" which leads to a cave of huge treasures (Which look like brass) and along the way they are joined by a nutty blonde (Melody Anderson) who hires them out to help find the cave. While Sonny Landham stars as a big buff Native American with an eye-patch that switches eyes (Which then vanishes altogether in the climax) who is "El Coyote" the main villain of the peace. Firewalker was awful back in 1986 and is even worse now. The sets are laughably unconvincing and because the movie is PG it lacks R rated action. Worst of all is that it tries to be comedy and Norris is too humorless to make the transition. Louis Gossett Jr overacts and Melody Anderson gives a typically moronic performance (Remember she was the worst thing in Flash Gordon) and it basically is a dull rip off of the vastly superior Romancing The Stone. (We will not even compare this to Raiders Of The Lost Ark) The only good thing about the movie is, uh, the way a guy throws himself off a cliff after seeing "Firewalker" That was priceless in its unintentional hilarity.* out of 4-(Bad) (And i'm being generous...)

I personally love this movie. I think the interaction between Norris and Gossett is hilarious. Quite a few of the fight scenes are really funny, while still showing good action. One of the best things about this movie is that Chuck Norris isn't perfect in it. His character fights very well, {the karate sequences are excellent} but he can't hit the broad side of a barn with a gun, and isn't particularly bright. For those that hadn't figured it out, this is intentional. I found the imperfect Chuck to be a delightful part of this movie. I thought it was a great spoof of the treasure hunter movies. and it's tongue in cheek approach was very refreshing.
