And This Is for...: Happens at the end in which Braddock puts the beatdown on Colonel Yin for killing Nester (with a slight neck snap) and Franklin (belly punch and grabbing his stomach). And finally finishes him off by detonating a bomb in the cabin, blowing him up. "And this is for me." | |

Artifact Title | |
| Missing in Action / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: Despite this film being called Missing In Action, there are no POWs. In fact, this film pretty much seems to ignore the previous two MIA films, since Braddock couldn't possibly have witnessed the Fall of Saigon if he was being held prisoner by the NVA. | |

Also, he has a Vietnamese wife he thought dead during the Fall. In MIA 2, it's mentioned Braddock has a wife, but she's not only NOT presumed dead, it's implied she lives in America and Colonel Yin, in one of his numerous Kick the Dog moments, told Braddock she was about to remarry. | |

Fanservice with a Smile: Braddock hooks up with an old army buddy in Thailand, leading to plenty of gratuituous fanservice involving totally naked bar girls. One notable scene has Braddock talking to a bartender; as he walks offscreen a beautiful naked Thai girl is placed on the bar for no apparent reason (security for a bar tab?). | |

Loophole Abuse: Braddock's first lines of dialogue to Yin is telling him the Geneva Convention forbids having POWs after a war has ended. Yin's response? They're not POWs, but war criminals. He spends a good portion of the movie trying to coerce Braddock to sign a false confession in order to give his abuses a veneer of legality. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| Missing in Action / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: Braddock managed to witness the fall of Saigon while being imprisoned. Also, he has a Vietnamese wife he thought dead during the Fall. In MIA 2, it's mentioned Braddock has a wife, but she's not only NOT presumed dead, it's implied she lives in America and Colonel Yin, in one of his numerous Kick the Dog moments, told Braddock she was about to remarry. | |

| Missing in Action / int_ce1c73e2 | comment |
Just Plane Wrong: The Hind gunship used by Quoc is actually a Sikorsky S-62 that was never used by the PAVN. The American gunship in the movie is also a Sikorsky S-76A instead of an Apache or a Cobra. | |

The Lost Lenore: Zig Zagged. Braddock had a wife in Vietnam, whom he thought died during the Fall. She turns out to be alive, prompting Braddock to return to Vietnam to see her again. Then Gen. Quoc murders her in cold blood, fulfilling this trope. | |

Redemption Equals Death: When Mazilli is recaptured, Nester, who had been kissing Col. Yin's butt the whole movie, looks like he's about to execute him. He instead shoots the guards holding Mazilli, and gets killed in response. | |
