Silent Rage | Blu-ray (Mill Creek Entertainment)
RELEASE DATE: January 15, 2019
On January 15, 2019, Mill Creek Entertainment will be releasing the Blu-ray for Silent Rage, a 1982 action thriller directed by Michael Miller (Street Girls) and starring Chuck Norris (Yellow Face Tiger, Code of Silence), Ron Silver (Timecop), Brian Libby (The Shawshank Redemption) and Stephen Furst (Animal House). The film will be presented in a special “Retro VHS Look”.
In Silent Rage, a sheriff (Norris) tries to stop the killing spree of a mute maniacal murderer (Libby) who, as the result of years of medical experimentation, has the ability to self-heal.
Variety describes the movie as “a combination horror-kung fu-oater-woman in peril-mad scientist film,” and many fans tag it as “Chuck Norris vs. Michael Myers”. In our opinion, this raw, sometimes terrifying film, is one of Norris’ best (if you can survive the romance montage within the film)…
Silent Rage was previously released as a Walmart Exclusive on October 30th.

It’s my dream that Norris should have stayed with Golden Harvest, and would have faced off against George Lazenby in ‘Way of the Dragon 2’.
In my dream of WAY OF THE DRAGON 2, the hair that Bruce ripped off of Chuck’s chest in WAY OF THE DRAGON spawns a new, mutated, even hairier Chuck, which comes back for revenge.
Actually, the movie they were going to face off in was “Yellow Faced Tigers“.
am loving these VHS styled covers, brings back memories of 80’s video madness and a vhs cover would often be the deciding factor in rental, or a half remembered trailer
This is a strange combo of concepts and genres, I mean Stephen Furst seems to have wondered in from a goofball comedy as if he’s still in Animal House, Brian Libby is in full on psychi mode from the begining, the late Ron Silver is playing a variation on the corrupt character he always played while Chuck is in full Chuck’ster mode….do like the bar fight for many of the wrong reasons and the ending where Chuck’s constantly doing neck breaking incapacitating moves on Libby who just keeps on coming like the Energizer bunny
Agree with everything you said Mike. Still so much fun.
Actually the release date for this was October 30th, and I picked it up that day at Wal-mart (along with HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME for $7.50, and AMERICAN GRAFFITI and MEATBALLS for $5.00 each). Though it was listed on their site as $14.98, in the store it was only $7.50, which is very nice. I dig the retro packaging. Shame there aren’t any extras on this release, but for the price, it’s still well worth it.
Yes, it was a Walmart exclusive, but the pre-order date refers to the Amazon release. =)
Aha, I stand corrected in my correcting. 😀
