Summary: Chuck Norris = Death to all in his way
Review: Don't listen to any of these people over-analyzing this movie! Chuck Norris is here in all of his mid-80's glory. I don't think the point of this movie was to be compelling or thought-provoking. This movie has everything you could love about the action movie (which doesn't exist today, no thanks to Vin Diesel!) Plot: Bad guys mess with Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris kills them...all. 'Nuff said. Hordes of terrorists all waiting in line to wreak havoc? No problem for Chuck. Armed with machine guns, rocket launchers and a 4-wheel-drive truck, he WILL deal out his justice. Most poignant are the scenes where he mercilessly drives a knife into a baddie's hand and twists it. Also, the end scene where the head bad guy is cowering in fear in an office is great. Chuck strolls in with his twin uzis strapped to his chest, fearless. Great stuff. If you don't enjoy watching Chuck destroy anything in his path, don't get this movie. If you love watching somewhat cheesy (in a good way), violent fun, buy it! I say bring back the good old bearded, angry action heros.

Summary: Watch it For Laughs
Review: I agree totally with what the reviewer from New York said. This movie is hilarious trash! The plot totally stinks, but has its lighter moments. When the Communists blow up houses, shoot up parties, and machine gun empty office buildings, that's not an invasion; that's terrorism. An invasion is when you commandeer a society's centers of communication. The Communists did none of that, which is what's wrong with the whole story. Besides, how tough could the Communist leader (Rostov) be? He wears eye shadow!

Summary: The US invaded
Review: I only own this on videotape but I am looking forward to the day they release this on DVD in Australia.This is in my opinion, Chuck Norris's best movie, his next best being Code of Silence.There is non stop action in this film.
The story is about Matt Hunter (Chuck Norris) an ex CIA operative who has retired. His arch nemesis Rostov (Richard Lynch)is a Russian terrorist and he plans on taking over America with his army.Chuck Norris doesn't want to know about Rostov when the CIA first approach him about putting a stop to him but after they blow up his house and kill his friend he is back in action.

Summary: A Cool Action Flick!
Review: I'm very impressed with the audio and picture quality for this movie. If you're looking for good old Chuck Norris with his smooth and slick style then you should get this title. The plot is kinda one way but if you're looking for mere entertainment, then get this title.

Summary: Good Transfer of a Good Movie
Review: I've been waiting for this DVD for a long time and it was worth the wait. Chuck Norris is at it again, defending the free world and bringing down the bad guys. If you like the average action movie, you'll love this as it is an outstanding example of the genre. MGM Gave this movie a pretty good transfer treatment, a fully anamorphic widescreen transfer with actual surround sound. Not bad for a 16 year old film that wasn't a blockbuster. Not much in the extras department, but digging up a widescreen trailer for the film is better than the nothing that they've given with some films. All in all a good, satisfying Chuck Norris movie and a great value DVD purchase.

Summary: God Bless Cannon!
Review: If you were a kid in the 80s, you know how influential Cannon films were to your every day life. They made you want to be a ninja, made you want to arm wrestle your friends so you could try that snaeaky hand trick that never worked, and promised you that He-Man sequel that never happened. Well, Invasion U.S.A is one of the finer efforts if you ask me. Regardless of how corny and far fetched it is, it's actually kind of scary considering the events in the world today. Richard Lynch(who is incapable of playing a good guy), a Russian with a nasty habit of sticking his pistol down people's pants before shooting them is the one behind the Invasion. The plan is to shoot and blow innocent people to smithereens to create chaos and confusion, turning Americans against each other. It's supposed to be happening nation wide, but the film centers on the events in Miami where Chuck and Lynch are. The terrorists are hardcore brutal. They stick a plastic explosive to a school bus full of kids singing, "Row Your Boat!" How about that? Norris is an agent brought out of retirement(naturally) to singlehandedly stop the threat. Norris is bad to the bone in this. He goes about slaughtering terrorists without breaking a sweat, as though this kind of thing happens all the time, and it's all in a day's work for him. His method of extermination is similar to playing a first person shooter video game with an invincibility cheat code on. He almost makes Rambo seem lightweight! In his off hours he likes to watch "Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers" with a slight grin. Watch how he handles a terrorist with a gun to a journalist's head. This is the kind of film we're probably never gonna see again, and I guess that's good or bad depending on your point of view. But whether you loved them or dismissed them as complete hacks, the Cannon Group was one of a kind.

Summary: A Cold-War Comic Opera
Review: In contrast to the air strike-like surgical precision of Cold War action movies like "Red Dawn," Norris' star vehicle is an absurd sledghehammer (perhaps one like a clown would use, made from bright red plastic), bludgeoning our brains into a goofy submissive fear of communism and a worshipful adoration of guys with feathered blond hair, grim, constipated facial expressions, and wearing over-tight action karate jeans (Chuck Norris once advertised his own brand of "slim, trim, good looking pants" in 70s martial arts magazines . . . "You can stretch, jump, kick - do any activity - the Action Jeans will never bind your legs and won't rip out"). As a rip-roaring action movie of "Homeland Defense," "Invasion U.S.A." throws down a philosophical gauntlet to "First Blood," Stallone's noble plea for the little guy-for the long-haired vietnam vet with the dirty green army coat who has been left behind and forgotten by gentrification, the Texas oil boom, and the kinder, gentler nation. In contrast to Rambo's tragic vet, Chuck Norris' bayou warrior is the "good dog," the Oliver North doing the bidding of his masters (albeit in a renegade and unorthodox fashion-I mean, what idiot fires a LAW anti-tank rocket from a shoulder-held launcher at a coked-up Russian operative named "Rostov" from a distance of ten feet inside an office building?). This servility and straightforward sense of purpose contrasts dramatically with Rambo as the outcast prodigal son, returned from a Southeast Asian prison rathole to show America its tarnished image in the mirror. In Norris' movie, Arabs, Russians, and assorted other dark people drive through peaceful suburban neighborhoods with bazookas, stupidly ignoring sites with strategic military value (like bridges and power stations) in favor of maximum innocent body counts. They even attempt to blow up a yellow school bus full of kids with Partridge Family lunchboxes, for God's sake. But in all of this madness and Cold War paranoia, one thing becomes clear: If you're a true jungle fighter, you can hunt anything with a knife, no matter what the small-town cops say; no matter what the odds stacked against you. You only need to remember the face of your father, and it can't hurt to follow Chuck Norris' articulate advice from his 1996 book "The Secret Power Within: Zen Solutions to Real Problems": "As an actor-producer-writer of my own films and television series, I am often confronted with situations involving many people, some of them angry, belligerent, or defensive, and everyone looking to me for a solution to the problem. When that happens, I control my breathing, and it always restores calm, confidence, and strength. It also allows me to bring my emotions and thoughts under control, so that I can concentrate on what's at hand." Whatever, Chuck. You name it.

Summary: One of Chuck's Best!!!
Review: In summary, terrorist start to take over the states. Chuck takes care of things, so don't worry, Norris IS homeland security. Very rock solid action movie, but a litlle dated by todays standards. Who gives a crap? Much better than his Walker, Texas Ranger days. 4 1/2 Stars.

Summary: Chuck: Defender of America
Review: Oh man Invasion U.S.A. You know I love the scene when the girl gets her head pounded down on her cocaine straw and is then thrown out a window. That was just brutal.
OK here's the plot. America is a nation of fat, lazy slobs, and are a ripe fruit for the invading Russian renegades. What they didn't count on was ninja master Chuck Norris with twin Uzis strapped under his jacket. The final fight in the office building with machine guns is so over the top, it's mind-boggling.
For those that don't know, when firing fully automatic weapons, espescially inside, IT IS VERY LOUD!!!!! But, everyone shoots and talks in normal tones as if they were shooting NERF guns. You wouldn't be able to hear a thing after it was over and your head would be ringing. I'm not over-analyzing, I'm just making a point. You have to watch movies like this with the mindset that it is not to be taken seriously. People like action movies and Chuck could deliver the goods. He still has the facial expressions of a rock, but now and then he speaks two whole sentences in a row.
