Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain! is a tongue in cheek tribute to the actor. The game takes place in a day's work for Chuck as he rescues POWs from Cambodia and fights off Communist invaders in the USA. The game is littered with Chuck Norris facts and incorporates a number of these into the gameplay; such as shooting down a helicopter by pointing his finger and yelling BANG! [2] [3]
Players use the on-screen joystick to move Chuck and the punch button to attack. Like other side scrolling beat 'em ups, the player can utilize the environment around them, picking up different objects, such as cars, to use against the enemy. Later in the game, players begin to unlock combos and special moves which they can link together for some devastating attacks. [4] It includes 13 levels of Chuck sorting out business, set across Asia, Texas and New York. [5]

Damian Chiappara of APPSPY gave it a score of 4/5 stating: "The game has a wicked sense of humour and a ton of references that Chuck Norris fans will love. The visuals themselves are very smooth and look great, but the game also features a fun camera function to post your face onto the enemy trooper's body... Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain, is a tongue in cheek tribute to the legend himself while maintaining some solid side-scrolling beat 'em up gameplay." [6]
Andrew Williams of Know Your Mobile wrote: "The game is great fun purely from a gameplay perspective, with its frequent seamless mini game interludes offering a break from the action. However, the humour of Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain is a huge part of the game's appeal." [7]
Meghann Myers of PCWORLD wrote: "Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain is not only uncomplicated to play but perfectly ridiculous in its campiness. At $1, the game is cheap, fun, and an extraordinary time-waster. Money well spent for the Chuck Norris enthusiast, or anyone looking for a good laugh." [8]

Friend and fellow martial artist Bruce Lee invited him to play one of the main villains in Way of the Dragon (1972). While Norris continued acting, friend and student Steve McQueen suggested he take it seriously. Norris took the starring role in the action film Breaker! Breaker! (1977), which turned a profit.

The beat 'em up is a video game genre featuring hand-to-hand combat against a large number of opponents. Traditional beat 'em ups take place in scrolling, two-dimensional (2D) levels, while a number of modern games feature more open three-dimensional (3D) environments with yet larger numbers of enemies. The gameplay tends to follow arcade genre conventions, such as being simple to learn but difficult to master, and the combat system tends to be more highly developed than other side-scrolling action games. Two-player cooperative gameplay and multiple player characters are also hallmarks of the genre. Most of these games take place in urban settings and feature crime-fighting and revenge-based plots, though some games may employ historical, science fiction or fantasy themes.
Chuck Norris facts are satirical factoids about American martial artist and actor Chuck Norris that have become an Internet phenomenon widespread in popular culture. These 'facts' are absurd hyperbolic claims about Norris's toughness, attitude, sophistication, and masculinity.
