What Is THE LEGEND OF CHUCK NORRIS?!

Published at:  Feb 06, 2007 1:25:15 AM CST

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

Well, follow the link and see...



Dear Harry and the rest of Ain't It Cool:

I interned at a production studio last summer, and one of my boss's friends was working on a project call "The Legend of Chuck Norris." They're trying to get it picked up as a live-action movie, or maybe an animated TV series for something like Adult Swim. They've been giving me some of the teasers to send around the Internet, but they recently put up the full trailer on their website.

Thought maybe you'd find it interesting. Thanks!

--Mike

    Why Won't The Chuck Norris Jokes Die?

    by pockybot

    This has gone wayyy past "Wasssup Bud Light", "All Your Base", etc. Chuck Norris is a 70 year old fundamentalist bible thumper who writes columns for right wing fringe websites. There's nothing "cool" or "hip" or legendary about him. This is one Peanut Butter Jelly Time/Star Wars Kid/Numa Numa song gone on far too long.
    Tho we may need Chuck Norris in case al-Aqua Qaeda Terrorist Hunger Force Strikes Again!

    This Chuck Norris stuff is getting really stupid. It was funny for a while, but I think it's played itself out circa 2005.

    Chuck Norris -- No Taint

    by el mono

    Nor anything else that even remotely resembles female anatomy.

    That being said, his movies are complete crap. I'm glad that Bruce Lee kicked down his door and kicked Chuck's ass in his own home in response to some trash-talking.

    by elvislives1969

    ...may have been a better title. I don't see the pull myself. The animation style looks interesting until you realise that a lot of it is ripped from non-Norris work. There's even a fight between Neo and Smith in there - you can see Hugo's expression...

    Looks a bit rubbish, in other words.

    I just finished the Chuck Norris American hero Collection (2 Delta Force movies and 3 Missing in Action movies) and had never seen Part 2. Billy Drago was the bomb in it. Just sharing that with you all.

    by darth_gonz

    I actually caught that on late night HBO about two weeks ago, and Billy Drago was fucking awesome in it, I agree. Chuck Norris getting his ass kicked towards the end was a bit unrealistic, but hey, it's a Chuck Norris movie, nobody expects Oscar-caliber screenwriting.

    It just wasn't very funny

    by bedlamite

    The Norris jokes can be and are often worth a chuckle, but that whole LONG video was just boring. The best parts were ripped off from the jokes, and...screw it. Not funny is not funny. It doesn't need an explanation. It explains itself by not being very funny.

    LAME!!!!

    by ashlander

    Chuck Norris should be ripping people's hearts out and decapitating people with his bare hands. He should have ripped that bully kid's nose off and then fucked his grandmother in the ass telepathically. But no, all these guys did was animate him doing some standard lame-ass karate bullshit. Why would you make the Legend of Chuck Norris, a comedy, when you don't even get the joke?

    There are two problems with this...

    by abcdefghijklmnop

    First, no cartoon can ever hope to surpass the greatness of Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos. For one, that cartoon wasn't a parody, yet it's still 10X funnier than any parody ever could be. And second, Chuck Norris is a real person. It's one thing to laugh off an internet fad like those jokes, but quite another to watch while someone makes money off your name. I doubt Chuck (or anyone) would sit back while people market his life as "a comedy" about a guy who fucked a bunch of nuns.

    Who cares if Norris is crap or not, the most important thing was how absolutely terrible this preview is. I highly doubt that there is any need to worry because nobody is going to touch that pile of shit.

    While that raised a grin and I admire the sentiment that thing would never be made into a series. Chuck would have to approve it first. Second they've traced over numerous shots from enter the dragon etc copyright violation city. This is just some joker trying his luck by sending a fan made trailer to AICN.

    Harry,
    Soon as you get off the phone with Errol Flynn, do you think maybe you could do some free promo for my cartoon? Its featured in my 8th grade science book pages 32 - 56, and is all about a little man jumping rope. It hasn't been picked up yet, but maybe you could chat it up and sell some more ads or something.
