Missing in Action 2: The Beginning is a 1985 action/adventure prequel to Missing in Action, starring Chuck Norris. It was directed by Lance Hool and written by Steve Bing, Larry Levinson and Arthur Silver.
Missing in Action 2 was filmed at the same time as the first Missing in Action film, and was actually set to be released first before the producers changed their minds. It was followed by a sequel of its own, Braddock: Missing in Action III.
[edit] Plot
10 years before freeing American POWs from a brutal General, Colonel James Braddock (Chuck Norris) was held in a North Vietnamese POW camp run by Colonel Yin (Soon-Teck Oh), who forced the POWs to grow opium for French drug runners and tried to get the POWs to admit to and sign a long list of war crimes.
Braddock must escape the camp and clear his fellow prisoners to have any hope of surviving.
