This was a great movie with Gene Hackman, Fred Ward, Robert Stack, Patrick Swayze, and Randall Cobb. We had it on VHS and one summer it was a daily watch with all my friends.

Classic return the troops from SE Asia. Stranger Things did an homage in season four when they went to Russia to free Hopper. Loved them all, even Missing in Action.

The moment when Gene Hackman’s character finds out his son did not survive kills me every fucking time.

Great movie! Probably also a terrible movie but aged 12 it got me right in the feels, and aged 49 i still have similar feels. Time for a rewatch

What a great casting choice was Tex. The ending credit song gets me in the end every time since I was a teenager.

That’s Smalls. Leonard Smalls. His friends call him Lenny; but he got no friends.

Back in the 80s me and my best friend loved this movie and watched it anytime. It was on HBO. Now I own it i’m watching it anytime I can.

Oh man, I forgot about this movie! It was the one with the demolition specialist who made those complicated booby traps that played almost like slapstick.

We would watch this and then go play “war” in the woods.

Forgotten? I try and watch this once a year. Was a favorite growing up.
