Title: So bad its Epic Iron Eagle
Post by: pervert on October 09, 2011, 07:06:48 PM
Iron Eagle

I watched this when I was younger and never noticed how much it sucked, however it sucks so much it is imo now epic for completely different reasons! I can't even remember half the boll0cks in this film?  :rofl :old:

Chappy starts dancing planning the mission Doug looks impressed/aroused?

Chappy buys the farm, along with epic I knew I die taped from the grave message!

Doug vs Col Nakesh, worth it just for the scream at the end and his dad's lines "way to fly doug" talk about a backseat driver!  :banana:

I personally have a soft spot for all of the cheesy action movies from the 80's.  It made my childhood fun. :D

Watch Aces Iron Eagle 3!  Still along the lines of the cheesyness but with WWII planes and countrymen to go with them!

I can quote every line of that movie. The soundtrack is awesome and the movie is the perfect movie to be an 8 year old airplane loving kid.

Watch what you say about it or else you'll see what happened to Jimmy Branson first hand.

Some of the worst movies have the best soundtracks.

Great scoring awesome music at the cut-out bins for a buck per cd.

The best scene is when Chappy is chewing out Doug on the flightline.  Classic Louis Gosset Jr from An Officer and a Gentlemen.

Believe I quoted this as the worst movie ever in another thread.

Iron Eagle is an epic just for being filmed in Israel using IAF F-16s and Kfirs  :cool:
If you look carefully you will spot lots of writings in Hebrew on various items like their soft drinks and fuel trucks. Very odd for an American base :)

edit:
OK it is total crap.
