| Teenager Barry Gabrewski, to escape his real life problems, imagines himself the partner of action hero Chuck Norris in a series of run-and-gun adventure escapades taken right out of his movies. As "Sidekicks", their travels take them from the steamy jungles of Vietnam to the scorched deserts of the Southwest where they destroy villainous schemes and save beautiful women. Armed to the teeth and possessing incredible martial arts skills, in one daunting situation after another, Barry is the faithful sidekick. He's a young man with a mission. But it's all fantasy... | |||||||||||||||||||||
