Movie Reviews of Iron Eagle
Movie Review: Simple is better
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems everyone reviewing Iron Eagle has seen and loves it. What I know is, it reminds me of simpler times. Cliched? Probably. I remember watching this with my sister as a kid. I love the whole thing and hopefully is as available in the future as it is now. The comparisons to Top Gun are unavoidable, like comparing the Stones to the Beatles. But, as it is with music comparisons, you can't look at Iron Eagle as a Top Gun rip off, it is in my opinion more entertaining and way better in it's own right. The final raid scene is complimemted by the awesome track by Dio "Hide in the Rainbow", when Doug rescues his dad at the end of a fire engulfed runway you just jump up and cheer. What a great moment! Im sure there are technical short comings as far as communications go but so what?Do you like a good old fashioned calvery rescue? When 4 planes lead by MAJOR "Dwight Smiley" show up to fend off the bad guys...well all I can say is grab your apple pie, and classic Coke and enjoy being an american.Movie Review: An Excellent Mixture of Top Gun, Firefox and Wargames
Summary: 5 Stars
I was 20 years old when the movie came to the theaters and to this day it still references to great moments in history. From The Cold War to The War in Iraq. The action is there. The Special Effects is there. The Story is there. and The Music is definately there. (Speaking of which I finally got my hands on The song that never made the IRON EAGLE soundtrack. OLD ENOUGH TO ROCK AN ROLL by Rainey Haynes. It's the background music that was playing during the race between Doug Masters and Knotcher). The only little flaw from the movie was the firing of the Maverick AG Missile while the F-16 was still on the ground but hey it was very easy to shrug it off. However it would have been more hilarious if the maverick fell to the ground first and then takes of to the intended target. ALL IN ALL, THE MOVIE STILL ROCKS TODAY.Movie Review: This Movie Change My Life !!
Summary: 5 Stars
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. So this every scenes that Doug's try try so hard behave is so moved to me. now I'm 21 years old. and now I'm "South Korea Airforce Academy" Student. In the end dream come true.Like Doug Masters. So I'm very proud about me and this movie. Someday I'll drive F-16. This movie's give me a my dream. Change My Life~ Doug & Father's meet scene is never forget it..thorough all my life.Movie Review: BEST DARN MOVIE EVER MADE, I LOVE CHAPPY
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: good film from my youth
Summary: 5 Stars
A good action fighter plane movie from the 80's. Jason gederick puts in a good performance. Louis Gossett junior puts a superb performance as a veteran fighter pilot who teaches Doug Masters to fly an f-16 and use its weapons. a bit unrealistic but its not a serious war film , I know Arab Air Air forces have performed poorly throughout the 20th century but I don't think they would be able to lose to 17 year old kid with few days f-16 practice.The movie was made during the cold war so their was no chance of using real mig's, the planes were used as mig's were Israeli Kfir jets,(itself an unliscenced copy of a French Mirage III/5 series.)
