Not so good, not so bad.... just satisfactory..........2007-05-23

The movie is nice but i like the Iron eagle (part 1) better. I have lots of disappointment to this movie. First, They killed Doug Masters. For what reason?..... Second, The movie used F-4 Phantoms as a substitute for a MIG 29 for the Russians. The F-4 Phantoms is very far from reality compared to Mig 29. They should have used F-15 because it really looked similar to the Mig 29 with double tail fins and 2 engines with large boxed type intakes. The least choice should be an F-18 instead of the F-4 Phantoms. Third, the ground support units used an improvised M113 instead of the russian BMP's as what is mentioned in the movie. This movie is fine but i prefer the part 1.

Great Iron Eagle II.......2007-04-06

This movie was great from many viewpoints. The main thing it showed was how a rag-tag group can put things aside and become a true team. Great cast and all around get crew.

Good but why does Doug die?.......2007-01-30

I liked this movie -- the action was solid and the plot good enough but I was disappointed that they killed off Doug Masters. Sure he's a showoff punk (as we saw in the first movie) but we all grew to like him and root for him as the first movie progressed, and I think it was a real mistake to kill off the series' main protagonist like no big deal. It seems to me that if the producers could do anything to send the Iron Eagle films down the toilet it was to kill the hero, but other than that I liked this movie. It was as good as 'Firebirds' with Nicolas Cage, but without all the dumb jokes and comments the pilots in that movie made that rendered that film mildly annoying. I would have given Iron Eagle II five stars but killing Doug cost one.

Not up to the first movie, but still fun.......2004-08-03

This sequel to "Iron Eagle" is as dated as the first movie - but less fun. In the first movie (Reagan era bombast at its most guiltily pleasurable) Chappy Sinclair and Doug Masters (Louis Gossett, Jr. & Jason Gedrick) single-handedly take on an un-named mid-eastern regime in a rogue mission. Sinclair goes back to that never-named mid-eastern regime (a slick composite of Iraq & Libya), but this time he's not only following orders - he has to bring a bunch of Soviet fighter-drivers with him. That's right - where the first movie was a big video game, the sequel is obviously one of those movies on the cusp of the end of the cold-war, with American and Russian pilots struggling to get past their differences for the common good. As part of his mission to neutralize a WMD installation, Sinclair gathers together a wing of F-16 fighters and Russian MiGs - uniting the two in a secret Israeli base (which more plausibly explains the obviously Israeli markings). Sinclair races the clock - not only to beat the evil regime's plan to launch their nukes, but also to prevent the nuclear mission the Russian and American bureaucrats planned to launch in the event Sinclair's plan failed.

IE2 is sort of a mixed bag - it's got more elaborate flight sequences than the first movie, but only slightly. Also, the story loses something in trying to be more mature than the first movie (professional pilots rather than a bunch of ambitious teens; this time, the heroes are trying to save the unnamed country from getting hit harder). Still - it's better than IE-3, and for mil-aviation fans, IE-2 has some of the best footage of F-4 Phantoms in action that you're likely to see. (Fans of the mighty Phantom should be in for a double thrill, not only catching their favorite ride in action, but also as a stand-in for the Russian Migs - the idea of casting the grizzled fighter as a cutting-edge jet seems to be an uninventive case of mis-casting, but the F-4 handles the role just fine). In short, it's still not up to the standards of "Top Gun", but IE-2 is still fun.

CAPPY, I LOVE YOU.......2004-05-07

Where to begin, when I saw this movie for the first time I just feel in love with Chappy. I have yet to see a movie that even comes close to the quality that this movie embodies. If Chappy were a real person I would marry him and have a life of action and romance in his jet, going really fast all over the world and blowing stuff up. I am not sure if Chappy should be hanging out with little boy though, that could be bad. You know what they say "16 will get you 20". You just have to watch this film, you too will be swept away by the passion that Chappy exudes. If I had a chance to save my daddy from the bad guys I would want Chappy by my side, if not sitting on his lap in the cockpit of his jet.

IRON EAGLE 3 WAS VERY GOOD WITH ALOT OF ACTION IN IT BUT I THINK IRON EAGLE 1 IS BETTER

Aces High.......2007-05-09

This has meaning to me as I was in Marana, AZ during the filming of this movie and got to meet Lou Gosset Jr. who is the finest of actors and a real gentleman. Seeing first hand, the vintage WWII fighter planes in action was awsome, especially the Zero. We had a part in shooting holes in a piece of an airplane fuselage on the set. The movie itself was the best of the Iron Eagle Series in my opinion.

Awful.......2003-12-31

This film is spectacularly bad.

A great effort should be made to gather each copy of the film and burn it in an incinerator.

Awesome movie.......2003-10-02

Product Description

Iron Eagle II: Chappy Sinclair is called to gather together a mixed Soviet/U.S. strike force that will perform a surgical strike on a massively defended nuclear missile site in the Middle East. Chappy finds that getting the Soviet and U.S. Pilots to cooperate is only the most minor of his problems as he discovers someone in the Pentagon is actively sabotaging his mission. As they begin their assault, Chappy finds that a nuclear strike has been ordered should they fail, which will catch his forces on the ground next to ground zero. Iron Eagle III - Aces: Chappy discovers a drug-smuggling scheme at his own air base. It turns out that the lives of some village people in Peru are at stake, and he decides to fly there with ancient airplanes and friends to free them.
