A guy I know found Ghosts of the Civil Dead for $2 at a garage sale in perfect condition. Super jealous, that bastard...

Critters brings back fucking memories. I still have a soft spot for the fourth one...
I saw it when I was really young, and that scene in the first one when the red eyes come up over the windowsill freaked me out to no end.

Ok if I'm reading this correctly these are the ones you haven't seen?
Slaughter in San Francisco- batshit crazy mostly because of the dub ( and it's a cheesy 70's hong kong flick). Chuck's a drug dealing rapist villain. Definitely check it out. I bought the Australian Umbrella Entertainment dvd and it's probably the best it will ever look also it's the American dub. You should be able to find it on the cheap down there.
Breaker! Breaker! - Really like this one. 70's trucker movie. Chuck's brother goes missing in a corrupt little town so he goes looking for him and ends up running around fighting the whole town! Highly recommend!
A Force of One - well, i like it, not sure if I'd recommend it. Plays out and feels like a tv movie. Has some good fight scenes with Bill Wallace vs. Chuck.
An Eye for an Eye - kind of similar to A force of One, except it's just a better made, bigger budget movie. Christopher Lee plays the villain and Chuck is boys with Mako! Think you'd dig this one.
Silent Rage - Horror thriller. Basically Chuck vs. a Michael Myers type character. Worth it for the bar scene fight alone!
Forced Vengeance - Badass! Revenge/chase movie takes place in Hong Kong. This was a turning point from martial arts type movies to action flicks for Chuck. Highly recommend!
Lone Wolf McQuade - one of the classics in his filmography. Western/martial arts hybrid.
Firewalker - has a bad reputation. Light hearted adventure with Lou Gosset Jr. I don't think it's as bad as its reply suggests, but I'm a Norris fan and like bad movies, so.......
Braddock MIA 3 - Balls to the wall action flick with high body/kill count, lots of explosions and Chuck wiping the floor with commies! Who wouldn't like a movie like that?
The Hitman - Gangster shit! Also a revenge movie. Pretty dark in tone (by Norris movie standards). Rocks a mullet, kicks a lot ass and wastes a bunch of Italian, Frech, and Iranian gangsters. Good stuff!
You didnt mention Good Guys Wear Black. So if you haven't seen it pretty much a 70's grindhouse political thriller. Light on action but still pretty good.
Also Hellbound, buddy cop/action/horror. Chuck vs. Prosatanos, a satanic servant from medieval times, again probably pretty bad, but i like it.

This one I do have and have seen. It's in my pile to rewatch though, possibly tonight!
Awesome, cheers for the summary! LWM is one I have seen but don't own and I'm keen as fuck to find it, but no luck so far.
Did you see Chuck's insane cameo in The Expendables?
Oblivious Maximus
I am the worm
It was one of the few instances where taking a franchise into space actually made sense given the origin story of the Critters. I've always liked part 4. Interesting cast. I've got a real fondness for third which is best known for being DiCaprio's first movie but it became more interesting for me years later after I'd discovered it was directed by Kristine Peterson who made the great horror gem Deadly Dreams.

Damn I didn't know that. I've seen a few interviews where he has warmed to all the Chuck jokes, after previously filing lawsuits against some companies relating to them. Perhaps he did the cameo once he realised how much his fans truly love him.
Really sucks that JCVD and Steven Seagal have some epic rivalry, they were supposed to both be in one of the Expendables together. I thought JCVD was an awesome villain in the 2nd film.

re-watched Mother and dare I say it's better than Memories. Been awhile since I watched it and love forgetting great films. The ending is a ripper, what a climax.

Awesome film, I think I actually liked it more this time around too. The iconic flying kick scene is still brutal and impressive 4 decades after it was filmed.
