MORGAN'S RATING

When America faces invasion for the first time in history, it's up to one-man army Matt Hunter to wage war upon the enemies of freedom. On suburban streets, in shopping malls, and even in churches, the firepower explodes in megaton fury...and death-defying stunts escalate into a heart stopping climax when Hunter, America's doomsday weapon, launches his final plan. From first explosion to last, Invasion U.S.A. is a stirringly patriotic and riveting entertainment you just can't miss!

QUOTES

CRITICAL COMMENTS

Matt Hunter: If you come back in here, I am gonna hit you with so many rights you are going to beg for a left.

"You'd think maybe Chuck Norris would want to follow up his great action movie "Code of Silence" with another winner, but you'd be wrong. "Invasion U.S.A." is brain-damaged, idiotic thriller, not even bad enough to be laughable." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

Bouncer: Hold it! Where are you going, I don't think I know you pal! Matt Hunter: That makes us even, I don't know you either.

Mikhail Rostov: 18 hours from now, America will be a different place.

Matt Hunter: Nikko was easy. Now it's your turn. One night you'll close your eyes, and when they open I'll be there. It'll be time to die.

Matt Hunter: You're beginning to irritate me.
