After turning up some questionable information, Braddock travels to Thailand to meet an old buddy (M. Emmet Walsh) who could help him launch a rescue mission. Just four months after the film's successful release, the prequel Missing in Action 2 - The Beginning followed and performed equally well at the box office. The third installment, Braddock: Missing in Action 3 was released four years later. ~ John Bush, Rovi

Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
The best of Chuck Norris in film, and that isn't saying much.
-
Stefan Birgir Stefansson, sbs.is
They better hope he stays missing in action...
-
Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
One of those ultra-rare cases where the prequel (1985) and the sequel (1988) are better than the original.
-
Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
"Hey, maybe if we show Chuck Norris killing a lot of evil Asians, we can make people forget about that whole Vietnam thing..."
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Norris does Stallone ... badly.
