Behind Enemy Lines

P. O. W.: THE ESCAPE is one of those low budget American war flicks shot in the Philippines standing in for Vietnam. This one has an autopiloting David Carradine as a soldier who ends up the sole survivor when his escape helicopter is bazooked in front of him. While in prison he meets a Vietcong officer looking to move abroad and agrees to help him in return for the freedom of him and his men, but treachery awaits. There's little plot here, just a series of recycled music and low rent action sequences featuring a ton of explosions and little finesse. Carradine sleepwalks through the role but you get Mako as the baddie and Steve James in support, so it's not all bad.
