English term or phrase: kick some serious tail
Har hittat uttrycket på två sidor som har mer sammanhang än den text jag ska översätta

"The image is very grainy and splotchy as nicks and scratches mar every
scene. Blacks are shoddy and often faded, with shadow detail suffering
greatly from all of the blemishes. Colors are flat and fleshtones
unreasonably off, even for an early 80's flick. Sharpness is also poor and
edge enhancement constantly noticeable. If this was the best print
available, Chuck Norris needs to kick some serious tail."

och

"As if the Angel Links needed any more problems, a pirate has stolen some
goods right from under their noses. The stolen cargo was to be transported
by Meifon and her crew, but it was lifted off their own gate, which enrages
Meifon. As such, she sets her aim right on the pirate who did and of course,
she plans to kick some serious tail over the issue. "
