This movie was an explosive mix of drama and action. Chuck is at his finest here, as he is in almost all his flicks, and he chews up some more anti-American slime in this seasoned classic. I just wish we could all be as heroic as Chuck is. Bravo!
This movie is the epitome of back-to-Vietnam, one-man-army action. The amount of explosions, grenade-launching and Vietnamese soldiers being mowed down towards the end is insane.
Braddock: Missing In Action III takes a little time to get going after an amazing beginning, but once it does it doesn't let up. Braddock kicks, shoots and grenade-launches his way to freedom. Braddock is free to do what Braddock does. In the last 45 minutes of the movie, Braddock is on a rampage, smashing anyone that gets in his way.
Missing In Action III marks the final film in this trilogy and is probably hailed as the 'best of the bunch' with shocking plot points, great action, explosions, grenade-launching, multiple people mowed down by Chuck, a great intro, and a greater last-45 minutes.
The Verdict: 8 / 10 - A Classic!

No one put a better action than Braddock on the 80', Cannon group in those glorious times dominated the home video marketplace here in Brazil, I used to went a rental shops on VHS's peak era, in those countless low budge action pictures, Menahen Golan & Yoran Globus were the producers, the Braddock's trilogy, this was the last one, he goes to Vietnam try to rescue his wife, which he supposedly thought already death and his unknown son.
As always happened he has face some Vietnamese colonel in charge of the red Army, the baddass hero struggles against all squadron of soldiers with some scratches and little wounds only, leaving behind endless bodies on the ground, emphatisizing the proposal of the picture is entertain only, forget the consistency and truthfulness, Braddock was the best amusement on Sunday night session on TV!!!
Resume:
First watch: 1992 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 5.5.

In the wake of "Rambo 3" and a bunch of police action thrillers with Vietnam War veterans or references and homages to the war as well as the recent hits of Oliver Stone and Stanley Kubrick, "Braddock: Missing In Action 3" doesn't have a shot in accomplishing anything original since similar material has already been done way too many times before during the second half of the 1980's. However, Chuck Norris' starring role as the Vietnam War veteran who goes on another deadly mission to rescue more POW's prevents this film from being a complete downer but doesn't prevent it from becoming too routine.
Hey, when Norris learns that she is still alive, HE GOES BACK FOR HER. That's gotta count for something in these days of throw-away relationships.
The final action scene is a touching "bonding" moment as father and son together take down the bad guy! I liked the intended, old-fashioned, "feel good" emotion!
