Directed again by Jim Abrahams, the film stars Charlie Sheen, Lloyd Bridges, Valeria Golino, Richard Crenna, Brenda Bakke, Miguel Ferrer, Rowan Atkinson, and Jerry Haleva.

They are ambushed by Iraqi guards. While a gunfight ensues he is awakened, and with his sleep mask still on shoots blindly around the interior. The rescue team is captured as he runs out screaming, shooting wildly into the air, and falling into the fountain. Topper Harley has retired from the Navy and become a Buddhist in a small village. Colonel Walters and Michelle Huddleston , CIA, arrive and try to persuade him to come out of retirement in order to rescue a rescue party who went in to do the same and are now hostages in Iraq.
