YMMV / Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos

• Complete Monster: The Claw is the leader of VULTURE, a cabinet of terrorists willing to wreak vast destruction under the Claw's firm eye in their goal of world domination. The Claw, throughout the series, hijacks an undersea lab to use its powers to try and wipe out coastal cities; tries to seize a NATO memory core to disable their defenses; coldly orders Norris's young friend Too Much murdered; attempts to seize a powerful laser robot to use it to attack and devastate Tokyo and orders a train full of people transporting it spitefully destroyed; and steals a shuttle to try and extort billions of dollars out of all the world's major powers lest he use a Kill Sat to obliterate all of the capital cities of each powerful country around the world. Throughout the series, the Claw regularly tortures and murders his own minions with aplomb and is happy to claim as many civilian lives as it takes to further his own nefarious agenda.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • The comic book adaptation features more or less the first ever◊ Chuck Norris fact (given by enemies in his presence, no less).
  • Too Much is a little boy who idolises Chuck Norris to the point of having daydreams of fighting alongside him. Although in this case he does that in real life too.
  • Between the cheesy animation, the relentless Cliché Storm, and the focus on Chuck's extraordinary heroism, the whole thing looks like a TV Funhouse sketch riffing on the Chuck Norris Facts meme, but it's a totally genuine and unironic cartoon from The '80s.
• Ho Yay: Super Ninja's sole motive for being a bad guy seems to be so that he can grapple with Norris on a regular basis. His scenes with the Big Bad usually go like this:
  The Claw: Blah, blah, MacGuffin, blah, blah, Chuck Norris, blah—
  Super Ninja: NNOOORRIISSS!!!
