Aces: Iron Eagle III Oscar winner Louis Gossett Jr hits a new career low by returning for this entry, which is among the most unintentionally funny movies I've ever seen. The recipe for this cinematic disaster takes a director with some good credits on his resume (John Glen-director of five James Bond movies) and puts him in charge of an eclectic cast which includes Horst Bucholz (The Magnificent Seven), Paul Freeman (Raiders of the Lost Ark) Sonny Chiba (The Streetfighter), and Rachel McLish (who looks great but can't deliver a line to save her life); then mixes it well with ridiculous situations, awful dialogue, braindead action sequences and a big collection of obvious toy planes stuffed with TNT. The resulting mishmash is so awful I could almost recommend it for its total lack of quality. Almost.

The Iron Eagle series of films was a silly premise, contrived to get the elements of ground combat, air action, and a tacked on mystery plot all in one movie vehicle. Unless you were really into seeing aircraft go thru the motions, it never quite worked. The 3rd in the series, reviewed here, is a thin plot and sop to politics in Latin America. If you like "hardbody women"(as do I), and Rachel McLish in particular, then you may find this pretty hot(there are no nude scenes or even anything approaching that though). She was in great shape and was one of the true "prima donnas" of woman's bodybuilding. So, like her: buy it; else: don't bother..

IRON EAGLE 3 WAS VERY GOOD WITH ALOT OF ACTION IN IT BUT I THINK IRON EAGLE 1 IS BETTER

This has meaning to me as I was in Marana, AZ during the filming of this movie and got to meet Lou Gosset Jr. who is the finest of actors and a real gentleman. Seeing first hand, the vintage WWII fighter planes in action was awsome, especially the Zero. We had a part in shooting holes in a piece of an airplane fuselage on the set. The movie itself was the best of the Iron Eagle Series in my opinion.

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.
