Chuck Norris once battled zombies on an airplane and won. No, this isn't another classic Chuck Norris fact — it's the plot of what appears to be his final acting credit.

The legendary action star died Thursday at age 86, but audiences are set to get one last Norris roundhouse courtesy of *Zombie Plane*, an Australian action-comedy starring Norris opposite Vanilla Ice. Yes, you read that last sentence right!

Here's the official trailer and logline: "When a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles is overrun by zombies, an eclectic band of passengers — led by celebrities-turned-secret agents — must unite to save humanity."

Directed by Lav Bodnaruk and Michael Mier, *Zombie Plane *follows a fictional version of Vanilla Ice, and, within this universe, the "Ice Ice Baby" rapper uses his music career as a front for his true identity as an undercover secret agent who finds himself on a plane that is overtaken by zombies. Aiding him in this supernatural battle is his mentor, Commander Chuck Norris.

While most of the production took place in Australia, producer Shaked Berenson tells *TMZ* that Norris shot his scenes last year on his own Texas ranch. Appearing alongside Vanilla Ice and Norris in the film are Sophie Monk, Brian Austin Green, and Ice-T. *Zombie Plane* will reportedly release in early 2027.

It's only fitting that Norris goes out doing what he did best: being the badass hero of insane stories.
