On November 24, 2026, MVD Rewind is releasing the 4K Ultra HD for 1984’s Missing in Action. Martial arts master Chuck Norris (Code of Silence) is the star of Missing in Action, a blistering, fast-paced action-adventure dramatizing the bitter plight of American servicemen still held captive in Vietnam–and one man’s mission to get them out!
Special Forces Col. James Braddock (Norris) knows all too well that American soldiers are secretly imprisoned in Vietnamese POW camps: He spent 10 years in a brutal labor camp long after the war’s end, until he led his men in a daring escape to freedom. Home at last, Braddock reluctantly agrees to join a fact-finding mission in Saigon to question the Vietnamese about other MIAs. Disgusted by the mealy-mouthed denials of the sadistic General Tran (James Hong), Braddock enlists the aid of State Department official Ann Fitzgerald (Lenore Kasdorf) and slips away to find out the real facts.
Discovering the location of an MIA prison camp, Braddock escapes to Bangkok, where his old Army buddy, Tuck (M. Emmet Walsh), now a smuggler, equips him with enough weapons for a one-man army. In an explosive conclusion, Braddock blasts his way back into Vietnam. The only question is, can he fight his way back out?

I bet this probably has the same transfer as the already existing Blu-Ray. And the two extra features seem light to bump it up to a “Collector’s Edition.” Since Shout already released MIA3 and now MIA1, I wish they would also put out MIA2, which is my favorite. They should put them all out in one box set. I’d be willing to drop $20 on a bonus feature light set of the entire MIA trilogy on Blu. But the cover art is solid on this one.
