P.O.W. the Escape | Blu-ray (Scorpion Releasing)
RELEASE DATE: TBA
This summer, Scorpion Releasing is coming out with the Blu-ray for Gideon Amir’s P.O.W. the Escape (aka Attack Force ‘Nam), a 1986 Cannon actioner starring David Carradine (Kill Bill Vol. 1, True Legend), Steve James (Vigilante, American Ninja) and Mako (The Big Brawl, Perfect Weapon).
As with the ninja craze and the kickboxing craze, there was the Vietnam craze – for the most part, this “sub-genre” usually centered around a one-man army who backtracks to the deadly jungles of Vietnam to rescue forgotten POWs. Chuck Norris did it in Missing in Action, Sylvester Stallone did it in Rambo: First Blood Part II, and Carradine did it in P.O.W. the Escape.
In P.O.W. the Escape, Carradine plays Col. James Cooper, a war hero who leads a group of American POWs as they battle their way to freedom as Saigon falls to the Viet Cong. Cooper’s nemesis – the evil Vietcong camp commander, captain Vinh (Mako).
