The number on the Vietnamese patrol boat is 419 which is the same number as the boat destroyed in Missing in Action 1. The arrival airport is definitely not Bangkok and the car chase scenes are also not in Bangkok. In Thailand cars drive on the LEFT, not the right. An elementary error. See more »

Aaron Norris can be proud to have made the best of the three films in the M.I.A-franchise. Three things in particular makes this movie stand above the others.
1. Better action sequences and, above all, more hand-to-hand combat.
2. Good and touching dialogue. I love how Chuck's pal talks about how they "never really CAN leave 'Nam, can they?". And one part really makes me choke (a rare commodity in stupid B-movie action flicks!), when Chuck's wife excuses herself by saying "I'm sorry I'm not pretty for you anymore...". Chuck answers, like a gentleman; "You'll always be pretty for me" or something to that extent.
3. The ending, where Chuck gets severely wounded. A strong and unusual ending for these type of films!
