Chuck Norris was an original, even if his movies weren’t. While other action heroes seemed more concerned about how they look when they threw a punch or how they sounded when they said the movie’s tagline, Norris always looked like all he wanted to do in his movies was beat the crap out of the bad guys as quickly – and as brutally – as possible. It was cool back when he was a big box office star, and it’s just as cool to watch now. In this classic 80s action movie, Norris stars as Colonel James Braddock, an American soldier who survived seven brutal years in a North Vietnamese POW camp. Years after the war, and angry that the government is taking too long to make the Vietnamese return any POWS that were left behind, Braddock decides to go get them himself. Sure, it’s cheesy…but it’s also awesome.
