3.0 out of 5 stars Iron Eagle II, December 29, 1999

By	"timlizwagner" (Juneau,Alaska) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Iron Eagle II [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Good sequel, good story and a little something for just about everyone (dogfighting, cold-war theme, hot-shot flying, good guy/bad guy and even a little romance to spice things up a bit -- Oh, and Sharon Brandon, well -- I'd fly with her!). The only thing it really lacks is authenticity on the enemy fighter planes; so, if you're a fighter plane buff, you'll recognize the enemy planes as good 'ol vietnam era U.S. surplus.

Otherwise, if you liked Top Gun, you'll want to see this movie at least once.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but why does Doug die?, January 29, 2007

By	AZ guy "boxer" (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Iron Eagle II [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Enought to Fly Home With, December 28, 2000

By	Dan (Jupiter, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Iron Eagle II [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Well, I liked the film more than TOP GUN, but the one thing that bugged me about the original and this movie was the use of aircraft. In the original movie, the MIG-23s were Israeli IAI Kfir-C3s armed with two 30mm cannons and some very unrealistic looking rockets. Also, the helicopters in the film were not Soviet-bought 'Hinds' as they were stated to be. They were actually surplus US Army AH-1S Cobras. As far as the second film, the MIG-29s were actually surplus USAF F-4F fighters. You'd probably only notice these minor details if you were or are a major aircraft buff like myself, but if not you'll enjoy the movie a lot more. Overall, the movie portrays the US Air Force in a good light and is very well put together.
