Fire Birds was released during an unfortunate string of cheesy air combat type of flicks. Top Gun was a one of the first air combat movies, and it will always remain the best. After that, there were some horrible movies like the Iron Eagle sequels and the other movie I can think of(It's not quite as bad) is Flight of the Intruder. Then Fire Birds came along. This proves that movies of this genre are generally not good at all. The action is quite cheesy, and the acting is overdone. I'm not sure how it is that they could mess up the acting so badly. This movie has Nicholas Cage, Tommy Lee Jones, and Sean Young. Not worth your time, ignore the claim that this was supposed to be like Top Gun with helicopters, it doesn't even come close.
