CibbuanoMissing in Action

In other news I watched a Chuck Norris film the other day, it was called 'Missing in Action' and involved Chuck as a balls-to-the-wall vietcong hating ex-POW who runs riot in post-war Vietnam to retrieve POWs who are still missing in action.
Great moments included...
* Norris and his team shoot up the enemy, Norris nods at a pal, who gives him a thumbs up. Norris thumbs up him back. Gold.
* Norris, upon watching two vietcong soldiers bayoneting some of his mates, unpins two grenades and leaps down onto the vietcong whilst holding them... slow-motion fade out, enter caption "10 years later" ahahahahahah HE'S STILL ALIVE!
* Norris, upon returning to 'nam for a press conference where the Viet politicians denounce the existence of any more POWs, is accused of being a war criminal. He replies defiantly... "I was put in a camp for killing arseholes like you!"
* Norris breaks out of his hotel, sneaks into the head General's house, scares some information out of him regarding the whereabouts of the last POWs, kills the General, sneaks back into the hotel, and - upon hearing alarmed viet soldiers coming to bust him - quickly de-shirts an American ambassador chick and throws her into bed. Alibi now in place.
* Norris negotiates a good price for a boat off an old colleague whilst the colleague fights off angry Thai pimps.
* Norris triumphantly busts into a press conference with some POWs under his arms… cue freeze frame and a bad cheesy 80s ballad to signal the film's end.
After watching this film I can understand why the man has so many fans.

Old Chucky plays the tough guy but he comes across like a really nice guy who would not hurt a fly. So even when he opening a can of whoop-ass you almost expect him to say sorry but it in the script.
Never could get why people loved this film but it was the eighties and Rambo was just around the corner. This film was total escapism with a message. Unfortunately the message was lost years ago. Never could work out why the Viet Con would bother keeping prisoners of war alive for two decades.
