When the 1990s came around, Chuck Norris was already one of the greatest action movie stars of all time, though many of his films from the era didn’t reach the same level of fame as his cult classic action movies from the 1980s. Still, while not all the star’s projects from the ’90s are as widely remembered today, they continue to make a case for themselves in showcasing Ground Chuck’s action-packed style and dedication to entertaining fans.
Many of Norris’ movies from the 1990s were a collaborative effort between him and his brother, Aaron Norris, who directed most of them. Their partnership helped shape the unique style of Chuck’s repertoire of that time, often mixing genres while still delivering exciting, high-stakes stories with plenty of martial arts action. Despite not necessarily being Chuck Norris’ best movies, they still offer an interesting glimpse at the evolution of the actor’s career.

Wind In The Wire (1993)
Directed By Jim Shea
Directed by Jim Shea, Wind in the Wire is an underrated Chuck Norris movie not everyone has seen. However, that is to be expected, as the 1993 made-for-TV film is all but a classic Norris entry. Instead, it was made to promote country singer Randy Travis’ album of the same name.

In the film, both Norris and Travis play themselves. Chuck is the movie legend that he is, starring in a movie about the Wild West, while Travis, still a country singer, fulfills his lifelong dream of being a part of such a project. Acting alongside Norris, Travis even got the chance to film a fight sequence with the martial arts legend. Unfortunately, both the movie and Travis’ album did not gain the widespread recognition they deserved, but Wind in the Wire continues to stand out as one of Chuck Norris’ most unique endeavors of the 1990s.

In this 1991 crime thriller, Chuck Norris delivered one of his grittiest roles of all time. Standing out from the legend’s more traditional good-guy characters, The Hitman follows Cliff Garrett (Norris), a cop who gets betrayed by his partner and is left for dead. Luckily, he survives, after which he goes undercover as a ruthless hitman to take down the bad guys.
In The Hitman, Cliff Garrett tells a story about getting bullied. That was a real situation that happened to Chuck Norris when he was young.
While Norris will always be known for his cult classics, The Hitman is a bit more emotional than some of his other works. Don’t worry; there’s still plenty of action to see here. From brutal fights to shootouts, Chuck’s martial arts skills are front and center, but he’s just pretending to be a bad guy as he showcases them. For those looking for a Chuck Norris movie with a little more depth, this one is worth adding to the watchlist.

Top Dog is a family-friendly film that’s lighthearted and full of action, but without the intensity of Chuck Norris’ more serious works. It’s ideal for a movie night with older kids, offering a mix of excitement and humor that everyone can enjoy. Directed by Aaron Norris, the story follows Jake Wilder (Norris), a tough cop who’s assigned a new partner, a dog named Reno. Jake and Reno team up to bring down a group of criminals, who definitely aren’t ready for the duo’s unique blend of martial arts and sharp instincts.

Sidekicks is one of those great 1990s movies barely anyone talks about now, but it’s a fun watch that still holds up. In this film, the martial arts legend Chuck Norris teams up with an unusual sidekick; this time, not a dog, but a shy teenager. Directed by Chuck’s brother Aaron, the movie centers around Barry Gabrewski (played by Jonathan Brandis), a teenager constantly picked on at school. He escapes into daydreams where he imagines himself as the sidekick of none other than Chuck Norris, who plays himself in the film.
Chuck Norris agreed to do Sidekicks as a gesture of support for his brother, Aaron Norris, who directed it.
Barry’s dreams of fighting alongside Chuck bring a humorous element to Sidekicks, offering a creative twist on the classic underdog story. However, the movie still delivers some exciting martial arts action, so die-hard Ground Chuck fans won’t be let down. The choreography is fun, and Norris’ signature fighting style adds enough excitement for everyone to enjoy.

In this action-packed sequel to the 1986 movie The Delta Force, Chuck Norris delivers one of his best performances of the 1990s.

Notably, while not as popular as some of the actor’s other films, it still holds up as an enjoyable action flick.
