Gosh, where do I begin? If you seen the first two then you will have an understanding how dumb and goofy this one is even with different film studios taking over. The target audience is still the teenager just like the other two though the first movie,Iron Eagle, does it better. However, the character developments are too stereotypical. For example, the Japanese pilot, SU, in his Japanese World War II (WWII) aircraft would always boastful and "honorable." Towards the end of the film he would kamikaze into cargo aircraft full of drugs, and the minor antagonists. The stereotypes would continue throughout the film with the British pilot in his WWII British aircraft et cetera. One of the things I like in this film is comedic relief which should've been in the first two movies as well. If I were to watch this movie in the year 1992 C.E., I would dislike this movie and be pissed that I spent my money buying a ticket for this dumpster-fire. Watching this movie now with modern notation is probably the best knowing all the cliches because again, this movie was made for the dumb teenagers back then. In my prior reviews about the Iron Eagle series, I didn't care how realistic the aerial dog fights were, and I applaud the cool camera shots with the aircraft, but the WWII era aircraft was just dumb. It should've been Chappy teaming up with the DEA and the villagers with Chappy in the F-16 or whatever aircraft he flew in the U.S.A.F. I wanted to give this movie a solid three stars out of ten, but because of the over the top stereotyping I'd give movie just one out of ten stars. Yea, I guess this whole movie is funny if you really like stereotypes being played out.
