Storyline

Colonel James Braddock has a Vietnamese wife who was supposed to leave Vietnam with him when they evacuate. But she loses her papers and wasn't allowed in the embassy. Braddock went looking for her and her friend took the bracelet Braddock gave his wife and was in an explosion. When Braddock finds the body with bracelet, he assumes it's his wife so he leaves Vietnam. 12 years later a Reverend in Vietnam who was visiting the States approaches Braddock telling him that his wife is alive and that he has a son. Braddock doesn't believe him at first but when a man at the CIA asks him to meet with him, Braddock realizes it's true. So he tries to get them out. So he contacts a friend in Thailand to get what he needs. As they are about to leave, the CIA tries to stop him but Braddock gets away, gets his equipment and heads to Vietnam. When he arrives he goes to the orphanage for Amerasian children, where the Reverend works. He takes him to them and is surprised to see them and his son resents... Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com

Trivia

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 »

Goofs

Lieutenant Colonel Braddock wears the insignia of the 101st Airborne Division. The opening scene of the film takes place during the fall of Saigon, which occurred in 1975. However, the 101st Airborne Division had left Vietnam entirely by 1972. See more »

The best of all M.I.As
27 April 2005 | by (Sweden) – See all my reviews

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!
