The last wolf is gone

Thanks for the legends

[TangledThorns]

Chuck was the all American action icon from my youth. RIP

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

Farewell to a legend, RIP Mr. Norris.

I’m gonna miss him. I’m placing bets though, I think Stallone will be the last between him, Arnold and Van Dam.

RIP Legend.

Got the bad news this morning like a lot of others. Love how he’s one of the few people that memes made him seem cooler rather than having them trash him. I grew up with his movies and even watched Walker quite a bit. He was always great and really loved him as an action star. He was also one of the few action actors that never really had a bad story on the gossip news either, just an amazing American movie icon. His memory will live on

I heard he actually died four years ago, it just took Death this long to work up the courage to tell Chuck.

Amazingly Clint Eastwood is still alive too. But yeah, Sly and Arnold is still going strong so who knows with those two tbh.

I always loved him growing up. And the jokes only made it better. 🫡

Chuck Norris wasn't just a legend, he was THE legend.  But I think the most impressive thing about him wasn't his roundhouse kick, it was that he never let Hollywood or the memes or whatever fame get to him.  He was a down-to-earth, genuinely good dude.  Maybe too good for the world as it is in 2026.

Totally. I think that Hollywood and the memes didn’t want to get on his bad side, which is very rare. I can’t even think of a bad story about him which isn’t something that most actors can say. Even the memes involving him and other actors, it would still be kinda trashing the other guy.

Oh damn it! Use to love his action movies as a kid.

Well, here we go...

Chuck Norris didn't just kick the bucket.  He kicked the bucket's ass. NASA has reported the bucket has now passed Pluto and appears to be accelerating.

I must confess, I was never a big Chuck Norris fan. In fact, The Way of the Dragon and Dodgeball: An Underdog Story (where he made a cameo appearance that I don't remember) are the only two films of his that I've seen. I saw the first Expendables film, but I don't recall seeing the second where he played a role (perfect genre for him, though). Anyway, while the world remembers him for his martial arts prowess and funny memes about his legendary toughness, I'm reminded of his military service in the USAF as an enlisted Air Policeman (Security Forces in today's parlance), serving two years at Osan Air Base,  Korea, where he discovered and earned his black belt in Tang Soo Do and proficiency in judo. After his tour in Korea was completed, he served out his remaining two years at March AFB, CA within the same specialty. He served from 1958-62 as a military policeman, separating as an Airman First Class (A1C). I appreciate his service to the country beyond anything he did on the screen, big or small.

Invasion USA is a great fun start. Lots of silly story and lots of boots up the backside

Wow!  Just WOW... how abhorrently bottom of the barrel crass can one get?

I gotta agree.

Chuck Norris didn't die, he ascended to spar with Bruce Lee in the great dojo in the sky.  Godspeed!
