In an interview following the release of the 1984 film Missing in Action, Norris stated that "I am a conservative, a real flag waver, a big Ronald Reagan fan. I'm not so much a Republican or Democrat; I go more for the man himself. Ronald Reagan says what he thinks, he's not afraid to speak his mind, even if he may be unpopular. I want a strong leader and he is a strong leader. And ever since he has been in office there has been a more positive, patriotic feeling in this country."[177]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ciqjokgejtgehjtydvg2m3xm/bafkreif7sguziygfx5unmqczfffshtmn22lqilho2r7sucmhkuyguc2v2a)
