  Missing in Action (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Missing in Action (film) is a 1984 action film starring Chuck Norris and directed by Joseph Zito.
The film was followed by two sequels in 1985 and 1988, Missing in Action 2: The Beginning and Braddock: Missing in Action III.
Missing in Action 2 was filmed at the same time as this film, and was actually set to be released first before the producers changed their minds.

 Missing In Action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Missing In Action (abbreviated MIA), is a term (dating from 1946) referring to a member of the armed services who is reported missing following a combat mission and whose status as to injury, capture, or death is unknown.
The missing combatant must not have been otherwise accounted for as either killed in action or a prisoner of war.
In the lead up to the Second Persian Gulf War Speicher's status was changed from Missing in Action to Missing-Captured, a move that suggested he was alive and imprisoned in Iraq.

While some families of American M.I.A.s agree with the government's accounting of the war's lost soldiers, many P.O.W. advocates insist that until an M.I.A. is determined to be dead by tangible physical evidence, he should not be considered so.
M.I.A. families who wish to do so can be present at the review.
Scores of Vietnamese families also endure the pain of not having a full accounting of the fate of their missing loved ones who fought in the war.

Plot Outline Prequel to the first Missing In Action, set in the early 1980s it shows the capture of Colonel Braddock during the Vietnam war in the 1970s, and his captivity with other American POWs in a brutal prison camp, and his plans to escape.
I enjoy simple action movies like "Missing In Action 2," and would probably have given this a higher rating except for the film's relentless (and I mean relentless) brutality.
Missing in Action 2: The Beginning tells the tale of how James Braddock and a select few were captured, then tortured, and finally escaped (...) Vietcong.

Gallup polls have demonstrated that ICMIS represents the broadest consensus in Israeli society in demanding that the MIA issue be resolved first in any peace negotiations with Israel's Arab neighbors.

At any one time, some of the MIAs are listed as "missing but presumed alive." The IDF follows Jewish law that without concrete evidence of a person's death, he is presumed to be alive.
For the families of MIAs, the pain of being plunged into the deep unknown is unspeakable.

One of the lingering and deeply troubling aftermaths of any war is the unknown fate of those listed as missing in action (MIA).
One of the spillovers from the MIA search in Vietnam is the belated search for MIAs from other wars (8,100 Americans were lost in the Korean War, and 78,000 in World War II).
Greer says that the remains of hundreds of MIAs have been identified by matching their mitochondrial DNA to the DNA of someone from their maternal line.

The critics called it simple-minded and jingoistic, but 1984's slam-bang adventure Missing in Action struck a responsive chord with mayhem-minded moviegoers, who made it the biggest hit to date for action star Chuck Norris.
One of a string of Ramboesque films dashed off in the '80s, Missing in Action is yet another entry that attempts to exploit the lingering public bitterness over the outcome of the war in Vietnam.
Missing in Action is a crass, dopey film that ultimately fails to connect with anything interesting in the realm of fact or fiction.

 Magnum, P.I.: Missing in Action - TV.com
A new singer at the King Kamehameha Club who claims to have E.S.P. hires Magnum to find her childhood friend-come-fiancée Eric, a Marine who has been listed as Missing In Action since 1972, whom now she has started getting psychic visions of.
At one point at the end of a scene during this episode, T.C. looks and talks directly to the camera, the first of numerous times one of the characters does so during the series (bar Magnum himself, who has been doing it ever since the Pilot).
A number of Laura's lines on the beach with Magnum seem to be re-recorded and dubbed (presumably because Rebecca Holden's soft voice couldn't be heard enough over the sound of the surf on the original).

MIA III was the only one that didn't make money and the only reason it was made was due to the fact that the other two made money and Cannon was on hard times.
Also worst of all the action sequences are shoddily staged and this easily emerges as the worst of the series.
