This collection features the three action-packed Missing in Action classics starring screen legend Chuck Norris (A Force of One, Code of Silence). Missing in Action (1984) – American servicemen are being held captive in Vietnam, and only one man can bring them home in this blistering, fast-paced action/adventure starring martial arts superstar Chuck Norris. Colonel James Braddock (Norris), armed with top-secret information and state-of-the-art weaponry, is prepared to blast his way into Vietnam…but can he blast his way back out? Missing in Action 2: The Beginning (1985) –Norris returns as Braddock in this intense, action-packed prequel to the original hit. Captured during a daring mid-air rescue operation, Braddock and his men are imprisoned by the insane Colonel Yin, who stops at nothing to break their spirits. For Braddock, the choice is clear. With fists, high explosives and sheer courage, he becomes an army of one! Braddock: Missing in Action III (1988) – Colonel Braddock (Norris) goes back to Vietnam…but this time it’s personal! Long after the fall of Saigon, Braddock discovers that his wife and son are still alive, living in squalor under Communist rule. Stopping at nothing to bring them home, Braddock returns to the jungles of ’Nam to teach the enemy one simple lesson: Don’t mess with an American vet’s family!
Forget the fact that they mistaking used an image from the first film for the cover of the third. I’m willing to overlook that because this is a must have for any serious Chuck fan like myself. This trilogy is prime, grade A Chuck and this collection does the films true justice.
The Ultimate Missing in Action Trilogy Box Set comes home on January 17th!
