Watch Missing in Action For Free

Purely Joyful Movie!

Awesome Movie

Absolutely the worst movie.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

In Thursday 4th May Chuck Norris arrived in Ljubljana Slovenia and he visit us to make a car commercial. He stays by us till tomorrow then he returns back to his homeland. I love Chuck Norris I grew up watching his movies and Missing in Action defines my childhood and I grew up watching this movie. I am writing this review in honor of Chuck Norris. Slovenia loves Chuck Norris! Missing In Action is an underrated solid, very decent, good, pure bad-ass action war flick. It is my number 1 favorite Chuck Norris movie! I love this movie to death and I have it on Blu-ray in Hi-def in my collection. I love the music score from Jay Chattaway it is a beautiful score. it is rated Hard-R RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. It is not for kids it is a pure sample entertaining flick, it has explosions, a lot of gun shootouts, martial arts, climbing the electric wire and walls, you have even bobby traps, you see a lot of boats on the water, a lots of jungle and it is one-man army action hero type. One man on a mission to find American POW's who are still imprisoned in the country. You'll see lots of heavy automatic and explosive weapons, and you'll see them used well. This is my favorite Chuck Norris film for the simple fact that it has one of the best action hero moments ever with Braddock coming out of the water in super slo- mo and blasting bad guys to pieces.Missing in Action and Missing in Action 2: The Beginning were made back-to-back, with part 2 being ready first, so they released it as this movie, Missing in Action. I am defending this film: Why I am keep hearing from film critics and assholes like Maziun who has no dick about movies how bad this movie is, it is as a rip-off of the Rambo film series. Rambo was better, Rambo was looking for American POW's and blah, blah, blah! Shut up all of you!! Missing in Action and Chuck Norris is not yours kind of type action hero or his movies, they are just not for you so f**k You! "It was more like 20,000. Why don't you tell us why there was a price on my head?" *For your war crimes, of course.* , "For killing assholes like you!" I am big fan of Rambo movies I love all of them, but Missing in Action is different Vietnam action-War movie who is really fictional portrayed. The movie is not perfect, it is not great, realistic, or the best it does have a plot holes which I am little confused but I love Colonel James Braddock I love the character portrayed. Chuck Norris does a fine and solid job as the hero. I love the action the rescue mission I love this movie from the 80's and I miss these kind of action movies today. They don't make'em like this anymore. He saves people, he saves 4 American POW prisoners and he help them I love the ending of the movie. I love the jungle I love how Col. James Braddock (Chuck Norris) uses the M60 during the POW rescue mission and he opens fire with the M60 mounted on the fast boat classic scene and he blast all the bad guys away.There's a lot of Chuck Norris sneaking around in this movie more than Norris smashing guys, but that's present too. Norris doesn't take any crap, and I love the muscle duel between him and one enemy where Chuck slaps a knife right into his heart, literally. James Hong makes an appearance as General Trau as the villain and he's good at his job. He constantly taunts Braddock until Braddock literally attacks Trau in his sleep! The movie really lets you know where they stand on the issue of whether or not there are POWs being secretly kept in Vietnam with its exhilarating, "In your face, Vietnamese government!" ending.Missing in Action get's 8/10 it my favorite Chuck Norris film a brisk action/adventure with good old Chuck playing a stoic American super soldier fighting for America's freedom no matter the risks. It's a great Regan-era action flick, unapologetic and brutal.Missing in Action is a 1984 American action film directed by Joseph Zito and starring Chuck Norris.

A long time ago, I saw an essay in a book of film criticism entitled, "How Hollywood Won the War in Vietnam." I started to buy the book, but to my regret I did not, and so I never got to read the essay. However, I think I am safe in saying that "Missing in Action" was one of the movies the essay would have discussed, along with "Rambo II."People who worry about words will quibble as to whether we "lost" the Vietnam War. Well, we did not lose it in the sense that we were not conquered by the Viet Cong, but we lost in the sense that we failed in our mission, that we gave up, pulled out, and let the Viet Cong take control of the entire country. And that made us feel bad.But it is Hollywood's job to create a better world than the one we actually have to live in. Now, Hollywood could not make a movie showing us conquering the Viet Cong and making the country safe for democracy, because the direct contradiction to reality would have been too stark. Instead, it made a movie in which an individual soldier, Colonel James Braddock, along with a few associates, goes back to Vietnam and succeeds in freeing some American soldiers still being held in a prisoner-of-war camp.The Vietnamese government categorically denies having these prisoners, but to what end is a mystery. We simply have to assume that they just enjoy making these American prisoners of war miserable, or that they know that we know they have the prisoners, and that they just enjoy frustrating American efforts to get them back. In either event, they are mean and spiteful.But what is important is that they give Braddock a mission that he can carry out. The first part of Braddock's mission is to appear at a diplomatic function and display his contempt, as when he refuses to shake hands with a Vietnamese general. This ostensibly is directed toward the general, but it is really a put-down of American politicians who think that diplomacy is the way to get things done.The second part of his mission is to personally kill the general and a high-ranking officer who is shown through a flashback to be cruel and evil. This allows him some personal revenge before he sets out to kill a bunch of generic bad guys.The third part of his mission is to sneak into the jungle and free the American prisoners. Braddock and his few associates kill over ten times their number in doing so, proving that the American soldier is a vastly superior to his Vietnamese counterpart. You see, it was embarrassing that the world's greatest superpower was unable to defeat such a puny country. This movie essentially declares that it must have been a bunch of spineless politicians back home that caused America to lose the war, probably the same sort that are busy being polite at diplomatic functions, because it is clear that men like Braddock would have won the war given the chance to do so.This movie allows us some imaginary revenge against an enemy that humiliated us, and that makes us feel good. Of course, we would have felt a whole lot better if the movie had actually been entertaining instead of dull and plodding.

At first view, I must say I was disappointed at this one. It wasn't because of the quality. I was expecting much more action. Competing with the Rambo First Blood 2 film at the same time, this one comes up of course, much more realistic. Norris plays legendary Colonel Braddock who works with government officials, as being informed, MIA's are still out there. He enlists his old friends help, a likable aging codger, Tuck (M Emmet Walsh- Blood Simple) and the two go back to the jungle to free the MIA'S. Of course sounding Ramboish, this film, surprisingly takes itself really seriously, while not always being exciting, but what formulates is not a bad quality pick drama, with some naked titties, an asset at least. Too the film really works the government side of it, Norris remembering one now Asian official, as an old torture which is the standout moment of this film. Although I must say I'm not in love with this film, it is worth a watch, not just for Norris fans. Also it's good to see where the series started, although that trashy second one was a prequel, which makes this MIA quality stuff, but just happened to disappoint in the action quota, mostly until the trip back to those diseased charlie filled jungles.

Colonel James Braddock (Chuck Norris) is an American special forces who escaped from a Vietnamese POW camp. Now he goes back to Vietnam to investigate other American MIA with Senator Porter. He confronts Gen. Trau (James Hong) and gets the coordinates of a prison camp. From Thailand, Braddock gets the help of Tuck (M. Emmet Walsh) to go back into Vietnam and rescue the POWs singlehandedly.There are so many things wrong with this movie. The most glaring is everything in Saigon. Basically he dressed in black and becomes invisible. He's the only white guy who's able to sneak around in Saigon and take on all opponents. And they deliberately make killing as the last resort which makes no sense. Once Trau tells him the location, Braddock had to kill Trau, but the movie only allows him to kill Trau after Trau shoots first.If there is any salvation, it is the mind numbing action. It starts with some good mind numbing Vietnam war action. After that, they're few and far between. And when the action happens, it's not filmed in an exciting way. Even as an 80's action movie, this is poorly filmed. This isn't even Rambo.
