Commercially I can see why they released the first one as I found the prequel a bit more gruelly, slow etc. MIA still I think remains the Cannon box office champion (?) which doesn't say a lot for the rest of their output...

I seem to be in a minority usually in liking the third film - it has some great set pieces and quite a wickedly vicious quality to it . On a technical level the VHS releases suffered from an annoying hum - a bit like me talking about MIA films...
I can't remember a thing about the third film. I haven't seen it since the days of vhs. I've never owned it on dvd.

My personal Chuck, Cannon fave has to be Invasion USA.
