A fun watch when I was a kid but NOWHERE as good as the first one... it's like watching Conan the destroyer expecting Conan the Barbarian
Far better than the first one.
Better than the first one, but that's not saying much at all. At least Chuck Norris was a prisoner for most of this one, which meant he had a legitimate reason for not wear face camo in the jungles of Vietnam. If you're thinking of watching this one for any fight scenes, let me save you the trouble and tell you to skip the movie and go to like the final 5 minutes; the fight scene with Col. Yin was about the only thing worth watching...and even it was no big deal. Lots of cheesy scenes (again, nothing as horrible as the first _Missing in Action_ movie) but this one was at least watchable. Once.
Another fun little action movie with Chuck. It''s actually better than the first, not surprisingly, considering it was made first...
