Hero and the Terror
Hero and the Terror is a 1988 American action film starring martial arts star Chuck Norris, directed by William Tannen. Produced by Menahem Golan, written by Michael Blodgett, and was distributed by Cannon Films. The film stars Norris as Danny O'Brien, a cop trying to stop serial killer Simon Moon, known as "The Terror".
It is based on Michael Blodgett's 1982 novel of the same name.
Danny O'Brien is a Los Angeles cop who likes to work alone, and who never waits for backup. O'Brien determines to apprehend the notorious Simon Moon, also known as The Terror, who kills women by snapping their necks and then takes their bodies to his lair at an abandoned amusement park. Danny is attacked by Simon, who almost kills him in the struggle. Fleeing the scene, the Terror falls from a ladder and knocks himself unconscious. When backup arrives, everyone believes that O'Brien caught The Terror; he is christened a "Hero" by the press, while Simon is hauled off to jail.
When Dr. Highwater goes to visit Simon, he escapes by cutting through the bars of his cell. He then steals a laundry van by push-starting it, but loses control and crashes into a cliff-face. The media pronounces Simon dead, much to the public relief.
Three years later, women start turning up murdered again; O'Brien suspects that The Terror might not be dead after all. O'Brien eventually finds The Terror's lair in a movie theater. Heading in to confront Simon, Danny encounters an enclosed room not on the map...wherein he finds numerous bodies, all victims of The Terror. Simon ambushes Danny, who fights him off and eventually kills him.
O'Brien marries his girlfriend. She gives birth to their daughter Angela, "our little angel".
Hero and the Terror was Chuck Norris's first major attempt at diversifying from his traditional martial arts roles.
"The success of the film is contingent on how reviewers, the media and the audience take to it. That determines everything in this business", Norris said. "I like the character of Danny O'Brien and I like the relationships I had in the film, especially with Kay (played by Brynn Thayer). I liked seeing not just the man in the arena or the fighting machine you see in many of my films, but to see the man outside the arena -- the guy who also has relationships".
