Sidekicks (1992)
Barry Gabrewski, ein asthmatischer, ungeschickter und schüchterner High-School-Student, flieht vor seinen Alltagsproblemen. Er träumt davon wie Chuck Norris zu sein. In der Schule ist er aufgrund seiner schlechten Kondition Außenseiter und das Lieblingsopfer des Schul-Tyrannen und Karate-Schülers Cellini. Barrys Vater versucht ihn deswegen an einer Karateschule anzumelden. Doch der Trainer setzt sie einfach vor die Tür. Einzig seine Lehrerin Noreen hat ein Herz für Barry. Sie schickt ihn zu ihrem Onkel Mr. Lee, einem zynischen Karatemeister und Trinker, aber mit der Fähigkeit, selbst hoffnungslose Fälle erfolgreich zu trainieren. Gestärkt durch die Unterstützung seiner neuen Freunde trainiert er wie ein Besessener Karate und nimmt eine kämpferische Herausforderung Cellins an. Es gibt nur ein Problem: Um an dem Turnier offiziell teilnehmen zu können, brauchen sie noch einen 4. Mann. Und der kommt – in Gestalt von Chuck Norris persönlich. Ein atemberaubendes Duell beginnt…
