Don't be comin on here hatin on Chuck because you're still mad your mom has a lady-boner for Walker Texas Ranger.. I guess that the difference between yours and my generation..this movie doesn't need to be perfect..as kids we'd be reenacting scenes and dreaming of having enough money to buy that assault raft..of course we played outdoors and didn't need a phone to get home lol..its a fun watch from beginning to end and I put it on every best of Vietnam war movie flicks list
I watched this for one reason, and one reason ONLY: to laugh at a movie that, at one time, I thought was absolute killer. How in the world poor ol' Chuck Norris managed to ever become a "star" is beyond me; I know the guy was a martial arts champion but seriously, his moves are as exciting as a stomach virus, and when it comes to the Missing in Action franchise, I'm not sure they could have made it any cheesier if they had been pushing to make a cheesy movie. This thing opened with a laughable (I actually did laugh!) "jungle" scene that looked like the fake plant department in a Home Depot or something, complete with clear walkways betwixt all the crisp, vibrant green rubber plants and "ferns" of hot, steamy Vietnam. It only goes downhill from there, folks. If I were to pick apart all the laughably bad gaffes in this stinker, I'd probably overload the Trakt servers. But of all the glaring errors, seriously... not a smudge of facepaint to hide that sweaty, glaring white face in the deep greens and blacks of a Vietnam jungle, and not once did ol' Chuck ever have to worry about mussing those golden blonde locks of his with a Kevlar helmet. Let's just be a beacon in the night for everyone to see...but they're so smug and confident they can't notice this white face running around their camp in the dark. I'm still laughing, honestly... So many holes, they should have entitled this...I don't know, but find something with "Swiss Cheese" in the title. Speaking ONLY for myself, this was laughingly bad only because I absolutely loved it back in 1984...when I was somewhere in my early 20's. (Yes, I'm an old fart, I admit.) I had fun watching this for that very reason, but the eye-rolling was practically audible. Don't watch this with any expectations of a "great" (nor even a "good") action movie; it isn't. It's fun to watch and laugh at how horribly bad it is, though. (Seriously, though...not even a SMUDGE of face camo?!!!) :rolling_eyes:

The end it's abrupt and anticlimactic, but it's still fun to watch Chuck Norris effortlessly lay waste to a bunch of Vietnamese punk asses.
