you've got to love GOLAN and GLOBUS . they financed so many crumby and mediocre pictures during their heyday , they truly earned the schlock king crown . make no mistake , these are fun pictures (especially the 2nd feature) and for most of the wrong reasons . if you're reading this , you're probably aquainted with these films already . if you've only seen these pictures in their edited forms on television , i can assure you they are worth the investment just to see if you can discern the pained look of CHUCK NORRIS having to speak profanity . there are many other delights to be had here . the gratuitous nudity sprinkled throughout the first two films . the mega-fun slow motion water emergence sequence . the acting that makes a certain theme park's "THE HALL OF PRESIDENTS" look graceful and fluid . things blow up real good too . you know you want the complete saga . hell , we all do .

The Mission In Action series only served one purpose: to entertain. Anybody with a lick of sense knows not to watch B-movies from the 80s with high expectations. If you're looking for quality look elsewhere but if you want mindless action flicks to pass the time then this series should do the trick.


Missing In Action 1: 4 stars

Braddock has to free some captured servicemen from Vietnam plus he is also being threatened with jail time for the murder. Braddock with the help of a good friend go back to "Nam" to rescue them.

The acting is stiff as a board but the action scenes are plentiful. The slow-mo water sequence is one of the best scenes in action B-movie history. Even though this movie is as dopey as they come it's still a lot of fun which I cant say for many of the movies that come out nowadays.

Missing In Action 2: The Beginning 2 stars.

Hmmmm, I always found this one to be the weakest of the series. The storyline is that Braddock and his comrades are tortured by Colonel Yin. Unfortunately that is the whole movie in a nutshell. Braddock and his men get tortured by Yin and Braddock ends up escaping. Not much action here and its kind of bland. The final fight scene between Colonel Yin and Braddock is weak. Braddock just beats the hell out of him and that's it.

Braddock: Missing In Action 3 4 stars.

This one is a step up from part 2. Braddock goes back to Saigon after hearing that his wife and son might still be alive. There are some swell action sequences here and some laughable ones too. The villain is hilarious especially when he yells BRADDOCK BRADDOCK BRADDOCK! after failing to kill Braddock who seems to have more lives than a cat. It was more fun than the second sequel and remains the best sequel to the series.

Conclusion: If you love the Missing In Action series you cant go wrong with this deal. The picture quality is pretty good and Missing In Action is in Full Screen and Wide Screen. Missing In Action 2 and 3 are only in Full Screen. Only recommended to the fans of the Missing In Action series and no one else.

Missing in action: This is a good movie It adresses a few issues about that war that many War movies of the 80's adress about American POW's and How getting them out of that Nation was even in the 80's rather hard to do. It is a Chuck Norris Style of Action Flick and good Eye candy.

Missing in action 2: This Movie is a Prequel to the Orginal movie. There is a Part in the Orginal Film that Mentions Colonel Braddock Was a POW and Killed the people who held him and Escaped... This Movie Covers that and adresses a few issues with how American POW's in that nation were treated. It is yet more Chuck Norris Eye candy with His style of 80's action.

Missing in Action 3: This movie Adresses yet more Issues with that War, That Nation and the people who lived there and/or got left behind. It has more of your Chuck Norris Eye candy action and the Action is alot better as this film was made in 89.

All three films are your typical War time 80's Action Movies.

If your not a Chuck Norris Fan you wont like these films, If your not a 80's action fan your not going to enjoy these movies.
But if you are these three films are great Eye candy and realy takes ya to those era's

by far the best of chuck norris ,these movies are his best work .action and explosions by the truck load dont miss these movies or chuck will come to your house and beat you silly.

Ordered this movie for my Father-in-law who was visiting us from upstate description stated that we would receive the movie within 3 days of ordering it, which is why we went ahead and placed the order having it shipped to my house instead of my Father-in-laws since I live in Tx. and movie was suppose to be shipping from Tx. Movie did not arrive when promised, took 2 weeks to get to me and while tracking it I noticed that movie was not coming from Tx like seller had stated it was actually coming from California. Don't like to be misled or lied to so I was dissappointed, especially since I didn't receive the movie until a week after my in-laws had already left to go back home. I then had to pay for shipping to get it to my Father-in-law.

DVD was action packed with all 3 movies.
DVD arrived in a very timely fashion.
DVD arrived in excellent condition.
