Michael W This Missing In Action prequel was great. Chuck Norris, Soon-Tek Oh, Joe Terry, Steven Williams, Cosie Costa, Bennett Ohta, John Wesley, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The plot of the movie was action-packed and thrilling. It's about trying to escape from a Vietnamese prison camp and getting revenge on their leader. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching. Don't listen to the bad reviews this movie has gotten, those people have terrible tastes in movies. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Bryan M Maybe I only gave it 4 stars because of the nostalgia for me. I remember it coming out on VHS and my buddy's Mom allowing us to watch it one night. It's probably a little "hokey" compared to more realistic military films but I loved it. Never forget the scene with the rat. if you know, you know. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Scott M Silly story about a POW camp in Vietnam with Chuck as its hero. It's not terrible, but I wouldn't call it good either. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review Elvis D Tras el éxito comercial de la primera película estrenada, tomaron la decisión de lanzar esta entrega, que supuestamente era la primera entrega original de la trilogía. La película anterior era originalmente la secuela de esta película, pero decidieron cambiar el orden de estas 2 películas tras ser terminadas porque los productores vieron más atractiva la secuela y tuvieron que intercambiar los nombres. Está claro que hacer eso fue un error, ya que esta película es mejor que la otra. Tiene un argumento brutal donde vemos a Chuck Norris siendo un prisionero y testigo de la crueldad que sufren sus compañeros. Las actuaciones son muy buenas y las escenas de acción también logran cumplir su objetivo. Tiene un guion muy sólido, escenas brutales y un antagonista malvado hasta la medula que es realmente creíble. Sin duda, esta es la película que se tendría que haber estrenado primero para comenzar la trilogía. Missing In Action 2 es una estupenda película de acción y quizás una de las mejores precuelas que se hayan hecho. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 9/10. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Braddock 2 (1985) é um filme que antecede Braddock 1 (1984). Para quem assistir este filme você lembrará do filme #Rambo2 mesmo assistindo hoje ou na década de 80 foi a mesma comparação. Mas na época ele se destacou nas locadoras. E o mais interessante que os 2 filmes foram lançados 1985, Braddock foi lançado alguns meses antes. Mesmo sendo parecidos percebemos um destaque para o Rambo. E quando sonhamos em ver Stalone e Norris juntos isso só ocorrer nos Mercenários 2. Neste filme Norris foi capturado pelos vietnamitas, que por anos escravizam os presos americanos. Mas com tantos mal tratos, e ele se rebelam, para a liberdade e se vingam dos maus feitores. Roteiro: bom Vale apena assistir? Para quem curte filmes da década de 80, de Norris e filmes de guerra é um prato cheio. Nota: 7 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Only with Cannon can you have the sequel be the prequel when it was supposed to be the first movie. The Joseph Zito-made Missing In Action was considered to be the better of the two movies, so this one was turned into the second movie, but everything worked out pretty OK. This was directed by Lance Hool, who sold the script to Chuck Norris, who was looking for a movie to pay tribute to his brother Wieland, who had died in Vietnam. They took the script to Cannon, who had a Vietnam POW movie in development, so that's how we got two movies so quickly. Also, I'm amazed that Vietnam movies were impossible to make in Hollywood before Stallone and Norris changed everything. Years before he freed US POWs in the first film, Colonel James Braddock (Chuck Norris was tortured in a North Vietnamese POW by Colonel Yin (Soon-Teck Oh, who was also in Good Guys Wear Black). He and his fellow soldiers have been forced to grow opium and if they want to be released, Braddock has to confess to war crimes. I mean, it's Chuck Norris. Do you think he's going to do that? Yet that's exactly what Captain David Nester (Steven Williams, X from The X-Files) believes should happen and he's joined the side of the enemy as they subject the Americans to torture like guns being shoved in their faces and fired with no bullets. Then, after a fight that Braddock beats Nestor in, he gets a live rat dropped in a bag covering his face while they tell him that his wife thinks he's dead and has remarried. That's also not a fake rat. Then, to add even more pain, Braddock exchanges an admission of guilt to Yin's charges of war crimes in order to get medicine for Franklin, a soldier with malaria. Yin overdoses the soldier with opium and burns him in front of Braddock, who escapes from the camp and — as you can imagine — murders every single other soldier, which includes pro wrestler Professor Toru Tanaka. This came out three months after the first movie but still made $11 million at the box office. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
