Lone Wolf McQuade

Lone Wolf McQuade is a 1983 American Neo-western action film directed by Steve Carver and starring Chuck Norris, David Carradine, Barbara Carrera, L.Q. Jones, R.G. Armstrong, Leon Isaac Kennedy and Robert Beltran.

Texas Ranger Jim "J.J." McQuade, a former Marine, prefers to work alone, packing a large .44 Magnum revolver as his duty sidearm. He lives in a dilapidated house in the middle of nowhere in solitude, except for his pet wolf.

From the clifftops, McQuade observes Mexican bandits herding stolen horses, and notes the poor placement of fellow law enforcement officers by placing rocks in the sand to mark positions. When the gun battle ensues, McQuade saves several Texas State Troopers, emerging unscathed.

In El Paso, Texas McQuade attends the retirement ceremony for his close friend and fellow Ranger Dakota Brown. McQuade's C.O., Ranger Captain T. Tyler, attempts to curb his "lone wolf" behavior, by insisting he partner with TST Arcadio "Kayo" Ramos, a tough but clean-cut Latino.

Divorced but amicable with his ex-wife Molly, McQuade loves his teenage daughter Sally, and doesn't object to her new US Army boyfriend Bobby, who respects McQuade's service. While riding, Sally's mustang bolts from back-fire, running wild. Sally is saved by Lola Richardson, who invites them to a party. Rawley Wilkes exhibits his martial arts prowess. When McQuade won't fight, Wilkes sends thugs to fight Ramos, forcing McQuade's intervention. Afterwards, Lola entices Jim, and they leave for a romantic interlude. The next day, Jim is annoyed at Lola for cleaning his house, but he relents.

Sally and Bobby witness a U.S. Army convoy heist. Bobby is killed, and Sally hospitalized after her car is rammed down a ravine. McQuade submits to partnering with Kayo to hunt the perpetrators. Kayo's computer skills reveal exactly what weapons the convoy contained. At a garment factory, they arrest career criminal Snow, who won't talk until Dakota fires a Mac-10 in his direction.

While McQuade is away interrogating Emilio Falcon, Wilkes kills Snow for squealing, and Dakota as a witness, alerting the FBI. Captain Tyler suspends McQuade for Dakota's death, but FBI Special Agent Marcus Jackson wants to help McQuade and Ramos against the gunrunners. The trail leads them to Wilkes, an arms dealer selling to terrorists and Central American militants.

They scout a secret airstrip in the desert, returning in force, but ATF Agents Burnside and Núñez are killed. Wilkes, expecting them, captures McQuade, sadistically beats him, then buries him inside his '83 Dodge Ramcharger. Wilkes escapes in his plane, and Kayo fires at remaining ground crew. McQuade regains consciousness, activates his homemade supercharger, and breaks free from the dirt to rescue Ramos and Jackson.
