2024 is going to be the year of the Chuck Norris comeback. He is returning to films as he will play a version of himself in the action-horror-comedy "Zombie Plane" with Vanilla Ice, and co-starring in Derek Ting's "Alien Recon" with his son Dallas serving as his fight coordinator.

Sounds interesting, Australian release date available?

Not sure yet as there's not even a US release date as of yet.

Another fun fact: In 1976, Chuck Norris had a sparring session with 1970s martial arts action star John Liu and the winner was determined by audience applause. Liu ended up beating Norris.

Liu would be known for "The Secret Rivals" and 2 years ago, his unfinished 1984 film "New York Ninja" was released after a 2-year project to do all post-production with Liu's blessing although he didn't want to be involved.

In a fight to death of course Norris would let Bruce win so that Norris could win over death next.
