Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the film when Nester and Opelka and at least two other Americans are attempting to run towards the chopper, you hear a series of Vietnamese mortars which hit two of the Americans, followed by screams. If you look real closely at the last mortar to hit the second American, it is a scare-crow type figure dressed in military fatigues that takes the mortar hit.
Missing in Action 2: The Beginning (1985)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Lance Hool
Starring: Chuck Norris, Steven Williams, Bennett Ohta, Soon-Tek Oh
Continuity mistake: At the onset of the movie, the chopper Braddock and his team are in is shot down over a lake and they have to bail. Each of the five men on board jumps and then their name is listed followed by a "Missing In Action" stamp on the screen. However, if you look closely in the chopper before they all get ready to bail, you will see another guy in the back with a hat on (and it is not Opelka, Franklin, or Nester) who wasn't supposed to be there. It looks a lot like one of the other Americans who was presumably killed in the firefight prior to the chopper arriving to pick up the remaining survivors, taking off and then being shot down.
