Have you recognized that almost everybody in this movie is pissed off by Braddock (Chuck Norris).

SPOILERS !!!

Braddock is landing with the diplomatic delegation at Saigon. The first thing what he is doing is to insult the General of the NVA. Not only the General but all the Diplomats are totally angry now. On the party Chuck says to nobody Hello but he goes straigth to the former Vietcong and insults him. The Girl who is hiding Chuck in her bed seemed to be totally annoyed about lying with him in the bed. (Did she slapped him ?) After the Vietnamese broke off the door her expression is like: OMG they found me with that Looser!.
His buddy friend wants to have some fun with two whores. No Mr Braddock want's his boat right now and his friend is pissed off.
Even the Vietnamse Braddock helps to escape don't seemed to be happy about it. Not to forget the helicopter pilot even he is totally pissed off by the fact that he has to fly to Saigon.

"Well, nobody's perfect."

Norris was aping Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry at that time, but there's a big difference between mouthing off towards ivory tower liberals, bureaucrats, and criminals where you can cash the checks your mouth is writing and being a jerkwad towards just about everyone, including totalitarians that can easily have you killed, and people whose aid you're seeking. In this movie, Braddock's a complete dick.
