    oh my god its damn good
    this film kicks so much ass its all about chuck norris who goes back into vietnam and takes on the viet cong all by himself and WINS outnumber like a million billion commies to one ass kickin' dude .

    Thank god for this true story adaptation, cause without chuck norris vietnam would be ruled by dirty pinkos.

    it starts off with him having a dream about kicking ass in vietnam, then he takes that dream and makes it a reality and goes back to 'nam to kick all the commie ass he can find .

    seriously buy this movie.
