Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant John Glen manages to overcome the shoddy production values and obvious screenplay to deliver a modestly entertaining B picture.

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Audience Member this is where this series runs out of gas & crash lands Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Iron Eagle III continues the tradition of awfulness explored in the first sequel, and the result is an even more ridiculous mess of a movie that has yet another stupid storyline and awful acting. Iron Eagle never needed a sequel, but at the third film, it's clear that the filmmakers tried to push the formula's limits and make the film a painful affair that just lacks in good, ridiculous entertainment. Yes. It's off the wall in its concept, but the execution is dull, therefore the film is just an awful mess of a movie that doesn't have anything amusing about it. The cast are bland in their performances and the action and everything else is laughably bad and this third entry fails to thrill or entertain the viewer. The first film was fun, but ridiculous, and it's a surprise they made a series out of these films considering how stupid the premise of each of them is. Don't go into this one expecting a fun film, you're going to be asking yourself why did you spend time watching this trash? The film is worst than Iron Eagle II, and it's one of those movies that just isn't worth seeing. Films like this exist just for the sake of having a series of crappy B movies that are a blatant rip-off of Top Gun. Save yourself the sheer disappointment and agony of seeing the film, as you won't find anything memorable here. This is just a film that has no originality whatsoever and it suffers from a lack of effective screenwriting, which is truly lazy and uninspired. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Painful (but unintentional) stereotypes asides, this is an old fashioned, if contrived thriller from once regular James Bond director John Glen (The Point Men, Christopher Columbus: The Discovery). Chappy Sinclair (Louis Gossett Jr ) takes to the skies to help destroy a drug operation involving US Army personal. Veterans Sonny Chiba (Kill Bill, Resort to Kill), Christopher Cazenove (Three Men and a Lady), Horst Buchholz (The Magnificent Seven), Paul Freeman (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Hot Fuzz, Double Team), Fred Dalton Thompson (Die Hard 2) and Mitchell Ryan (Lethal Weapon) give solid support with reliable villain Juan Fernández (Crocodile Dundee 2, Delta Force 2, In Hell, Executive Decision) is wasted as he does little apart from act threateningly. Champion bodybulider Rachel McLish (Ravenhawk, Pumping Iron 2) makes her screen début. Iron Eagle on the Attack, the fourth in the series followed within a few years. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member it was soo good and i like war movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A "say no to drugs" installment. Chappy and three other old timers fly classic planes to destroy a drug operation in Peru. Nancy Reagan would have approved. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
