MGM and 20th Century Fox Entertainment are proud to announce three Chuck Norris classics on Blu-ray: Joseph Zito’s Missing in Action (1984), Lance Hool’s Missing In Action 2: The Beginning (1985), and Menahem Golan’s The Delta Force (1986). All films will be available exclusively at Walmart on June 5th.

As of yet, no technical specifications or bonus feature details have been announced. Given that they’re Cannon/Golan Globus era films, don’t expect much more than a trailer.

All three titles are Rated R for torture, dismemberments, bodies getting sprayed with bullets, people getting thrown off moving planes and terrorists getting shot in their faces.

Updates: Two more titles have been added to the Chuck Norris Blu-ray lineup: Lone Wolf McQuade (click here to see artwork) and Code of Silence (click here to see artwork). Unlike the other three, these are not Walmart exclusives. Oh, yeah, if you’re a really big Norris fan, don’t forget about Forest Warrior (click here to see artwork), which is currently available.

BREAKING NEWS: According to Beyond Hollywood, Anchor Bay is releasing some other Norris films that MGM doesn’t hold the rights to: 1980’s The Octagon and 1979’s A Force of One are both getting the Blu-ray treatment on August 6, 2012. Both movies will include: Making of Featurette, How America Changed Hollywood Forever, Trailer, TV Spot and Director’s Commentary. In addition, Anchor Bay is also releasing the Blu-ray for Dolph Lundgren’s Pentathlon on July 30, 2012. Please check back at cityonfire.com for pre-ordering information.

    Chuck Norris rules!

    I’m going to buy all these. Most Chuck Norris movies need a blu ray HD upgrade.

      Yeah, I’m tempted to pick up The Delta Force on Blu. That’s always been one of my favorite Chuck Norris flicks.

    Robert Forster should have one an oscar for his terrorist portrayal. Delta Force is Chuck’s best movie…. (overall).

    Dolph just linked the trailer for Pentathlon on Twitter. Looks like Gymkata without the suck.

    I hate to say it but that octagon movie was beyond atrocious.Just as bad as CYBORG with Jean Claude

    • HKFanatic says:

      Ha ha, I like Cyborg a great deal more than The Octagon but I still enjoyed Octagon, despite its numerous cheesy moments.
