The first Iron Eagle's rebellious fly boy Cooper (Mark Humphreys) has returned, as has his gruff mentor Chappy (Louis Gossett Jr. as yet another military man). They must work with two Russian pilots, one of whom is a beautiful woman that handsome young Cooper naturally sets out to woo. An extended build-up, including the requisite government conspiracy, leads to the climactic final battle. Average-at-best production values fail to elevate the film above a derivative screenplay, although the film did find enough success to produce further installments in the series. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Ridiculous sequel to the preposterous original.
Steve K

Not as effective as the first. Also missing the cool soundtrack.
Steven V

Very disapointing. The original Iron Eagle was so bad. I'm not sure why they made a sequel. Iron Eagle II isn't as good as the first movie.
