  Gedrick returns at the start only to be blown out of the sky in an early dogfight but Gossett lives on to play in another mission. This time Gossett must train a small group of ragtag US pilots and a small team of no nonsense Russian pilots. Together they will team up to take out a nuclear warhead base in a diplomatically unnamed Middle Eastern country. The story is actually based very loosely on a real mission also in 1981, that's probably the most interesting part of the film as the rest is pretty dire stuff. Half the film is just the two teams of pilots training and fighting amongst themselves in an almost 'Police Academy' type situation. Gone are the montages accompanied by 80's pop music, this time its a bit more serious and not aimed at very young male kids. We still have the same type of flight sequences which look suspiciously like the same sequences from the first film, or at least filmed at the same time and carried over to this sequel. Everything was shot for real in Israel using Israeli pilots and jets (just like the first film) so is it coincidence that they set the first two films in Israel? money saver seeing as they were there?. Air destruction and ground action utilizes a lot of models again which unfortunately do stand out as models, more so when they are blown up, just like the first film again. Still desperately trying to capitalize on the success of 'Top Gun' but obviously not coming close. This film fails to even better the original as its taken too seriously and is still only TV movie quality at best. They still couldn't resist the rousing Kenny Loggins type music track for the end credits, they really try to make this ice cool.

  Ridiculous sequel to the preposterous original.

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

  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.
