From Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone to Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal, there were plenty of musclebound stars who dominated the action-hero market of the '80s and '90s Hollywood. Only one action star was deemed cool enough to have an entire genre of jokes based on him. "Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried," "There is no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist," "Chuck Norris does not own a stove, oven, or microwave, because revenge is a dish best served cold," and hundreds of other Chuck Norris jokes have essentially superseded his movie career at this point and made him more myth than man.

Chuck Norris, born Carlos Ray Norris, used his background as a martial-arts world champion to bring legitimacy to his fight scenes after breaking into the film industry in the 1970s. When looking back at the totality of Norris' filmography, it might come as a surprise to find that most of his movies were total duds, though there are a couple of highlights amongst the chaff. Let's examine every Chuck Norris movie and determine which are worth checking out and which are worth skipping by ranking them from worst to best. Rotten Tomatoes scores determine the ranking, and cameos are excluded, such as his memorable appearance as himself in "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story."
