Iron Eagle

IMHO, the first Iron eagle was a bit better than TopGun. (TopGun is proof that to make it sell, you need a love story attachment)

So having said that, I also saw Iron Eagle two and they laid the cheese a bit thick on that one. F4 Phamtoms were suddenly Russian migs.

How many others were there? I know there was a 3 and 4 (Doug Masters comes back from the dead), but also a 5th?

Also loved Flight of hte Intruder but we need an A10 movie ;)

I've seen the first two. Excellent point about the love story. And come on--did we really need that volleyball scene in Top Gun?

I believe there only have been four Iron Eagle Movies. The first one is by far a better movie then the rest. I am probably one of few people that have seen all four.

It would be a slow moving movie :P

Fire Birds was a great movie!!! I love the AH-64!!!!

If I see Top Gun is on I still have to watch the first few minutes...

Well, it was a love story, wasn't it?

IMDB shows 4 movies in the Iron Eagle series. I think I watched part of the first. Couldn't quite get past the teenager fighter pilot part. Of course, I was in the AF at the time, and I knew how things really worked.

i've only seen the first two iron eagle movies, and F-4s as migs is almost as abd as F-5s in the same role. firebirds was ok, though i do know someone who has done the optical-snorkel in a humvee. i liked pearl harbor more than any of those the warbird scenes though...

As an ex '16 crew dawg, the movie makes me put my palm on my forehead. I'm sure IMDB has alot of inaccuracies than I can remember, such as the jet turning from a A model to a B model in flight. I actually caught part of The Great Santini yesterday, not bad. I can thank Top Gun for spawning the interest in aviation I have today. But back on topic, I've only seen, and own, the first IE, and based on your reactions don't plan on seeing the rest of 'em.
