Summary: Best film in the series
Review: The first time I saw this I must have been about 12 or 13 and I thought it was BETTER than Top Gun in some aspects. The plot was extremely far fetched an 18 year old rescues his father from some un-named "Middle Eastern" country with the help of a retired Air Force Col. and his friends Btw how the hell can one kid have the whole base wired for his own personel needs? The acting wasn't that bad Lou Gossett, Jr was ace as retired AF Col. Charles "Chappy" Sinclair Jason Gedrick was very good as Doug "I got the whole god dam base wired" Masters (Too bad Doug got blown out of the sky in IE II) and the Minister of Defense played by David Suchet aka Poirot was great as the "bad guy" of the un-named Middle Eastern country. I liked this the most out of ALL the movies that were made. I got it dirt cheap so I am going to complain about the lack of any extras it was a good movie in its time and I enjoyed it for what it was even if it was fantasy. Just stay FAR AWAY as possible from the sequels esp II & IV III I don't remember too much about as I haven"t seen it in YEARS. The original Iron Eagle gets 4 and a half stars from me despite its extremely far fetched plot. The score for this film was excellent I liked it and the music was great too

Summary: This movie is outstanding a blockbuster hit; it is the best
Review: The movie Iron Eagle is one of the great fictitious wartime movies that i have ever seen. It has a hint of realisim, but the majority of it is fictitiuos. Who cares if it could never happen isn't it fun to dream? It is a smash and should be on everybodys to see list if you like war movies with an arial theme.

Summary: Iron Eagle
Review: This is not a bad movie. It has many enjoyable sequences. However, it is not a movie to be taken seriously. The plot evolves around a highly motivated kid trying to save his father who is held captive in a hostile Middle Eastern country. The antics associated with devising the rescue are very sappy. A kid flying a highly sophisticated military fighter then taking on MIG's is not believable. However, the aerial dogfight flying sequences are well done. The 80's rock music is also very good. If you can look beyond the believability of the activity and into the "teamwork & freedom" storyline you will enjoy this movie. A great family action movie with patriotism! I am going to also buy the soundtrack.

Summary: THE MOST AWESOME MOVIE EVER MADE
Review: This movie inspired me to pursue my life long dream of becoming president of the national Iron Eagle Fan Club. Twisted Sister did, in fact, play a very cool tune in the movie. Here is a little snippet. "We're not gone uh take it. Oh we ain't gone uh take it. We're not gone uh take it anymoooooooooooore." The dialogue is Shakespearean worthy and the Grandmaster would have a hard time creating this involving interaction between characters. If you want to see a very moving film that inspires everyone on the planet to become fighter pilots that are 17, rescue their dad from some OPEC country, then get down to that video store and be ready for a real treat.

Summary: Not as bad as some people make it seem
Review: This movie is not quite as bad as some of the comments want you to believe. It does have some serious reality flaws. But that's exactly where it excels. This is not a story about a kid trying to rescue his dad. This is a story about the flying fantasies of youth. I grew up playing quite a few flight simulators on computers, and this added to my fantasy of someday flying a fighter jet. This is exactly what this movie's about, a kid completely enthralled with flight simulations that he becomes a good pilot.They should have left it at that though. The kid's fantasy of rescuing his dad (also a pilot) from some mysterious middle eastern base should not have been brought to reality. Reality should not have extended past his races in his single-engine crop-duster with a motorcycle. Throughout the movie, the kid does not see the world as a dangerous place. He still sees it as one big simulation. This is exactly how you should watch the movie, otherwise, it will seem like a ridiculous plot that's out-of-touch with the real world.

Summary: WOW, I love it!
Review: This movie is really great, if your into planes and the impossble. Doug Masters is an 18 year old that dreams of saving his father form the enimes. I really didn't care if the story line was cheesey, I really loved the footage of the planes and the flight.

Summary: Embarrassing! Where were the military consultants??
Review: Too bad they dont allow less than one star - a negative number would have been more appropriate! They actually listed someone as a military consultant in the credits, but I think he took the week off when it came to editing this horrible embarrassment! As an active duty Air Force member, I remember watching and counting the mistakes, screwups and downright lies this movie perpetuated on unsuspecting viewers. How did they get it all wrong? Let me count the ways: Overweight Master Sergeant (female) who runs off and leaves the computers unattended. Hair over (or touching) the ears of almost everyone supposedly in the AF. Wearing their hats indoors. Live bombs loaded and airplanes already taxied to end of runway. Taking off from stateside base and arriving in Middle East without refueling (would require at least 5 air-air refuelings, would have gotten someone suspicious). The list goes on .. and on ... Dont get me wrong, if you dont know anything about the military (or the Air Force in particular), this is a great "feel good" flick from the 80's, complete with Reagan in-jokes and cold-war rhetoric. The soundtrack kicks, but if you want the music buy the CD. Dont waste brain cells watching this embarrassment!

Summary: This is the greatest Movie Ever
Review: When I first saw this movie, i was at my cousins house. He told me how it was better then Top Gun. Doubtful, I watched, and was blown away. This movie is perfect. The action, adventure, and classic tunes combine to make one of the most incredible acomplishments in motion picture history. How this movie got overlooked for an academy award is beyone me. I hope that anyone and everyone reading this review goes out and buys this movie right now. It's the greatest movie ever written.

Review: When I was 6 years old, my father give this movie that recorded from TV in 1989. That time I'm kindergarden boy. but this movie very huge, huge impact in my life. This movie treat war story. So some people may think this stuff feel very cruel. But that's wrong! this movie treat humanism like father & son. Doug rescue Father in enemy line.

Summary: BEST DARN MOVIE EVER MADE, I LOVE CHAPPY
Review: 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.
