• Not so good, not so bad.... just satisfactory...
  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.... more info

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... more info

• Not up to the first movie, but still fun
  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... more info
