Plot[]
A U.S. marine named General Mitchell recruits two down-and-out beer-drinking Vietnam vets from his old unit to go on a non-sanctioned mission to South America to rescue his daughter Elaine Mitchell, who has thrown in with the Communist regime. Kelly and Becker honor their pledge to forever kick-ass in the name of ass-kickery and down their last brewskies before polishing up their old AK-47s and donning their sleeveless Bruce Springsteen t-shirts to rescue the general's daughter.
