The Octagon

Retired martial arts master Scott James is pulled back into action when an old friend is murdered by members of a shadowy ninja clan. These assassins, trained in a deadly discipline within a mysterious octagon-shaped arena, are hired out for assassinations around the world. Scott must confront his own dark past and the skills he once honed to bring down this lethal organization before they strike again.

The Octagon received largely negative reviews from critics upon its release, with many finding its plot convoluted and its action sequences lacking the polish of other martial arts films of the era. While Chuck Norris's presence was a draw for fans of the genre, the film was generally seen as a mediocre entry in his filmography, failing to impress both critics and a wider audience.

• Criticized for its weak script and uninspired fight choreography.
• Chuck Norris's performance was seen as stoic, but not enough to elevate the film.
• The plot was often described as confusing and disjointed.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a mixed reception, with some appreciating the martial arts action and Chuck Norris's involvement, while others found the film to be poorly made with a confusing storyline and subpar acting.

The film features a character named 'Seiko' who is depicted as a master of ninjutsu and plays a significant role in the plot, adding an element of traditional ninja lore to the action.
