Iron Eagle (1986)1986
I still standby this plot is better than 'Top Gun' (1986), but I never said the script and everything else is better. Looks and even feels cheaper than the original 'Top Gun' despite this being $3 Million more expensive in its budget. Real jets do fly in the air, but their blocking needs tuning because it didn't look as awesome as I think it was trying to do. It's very cheesy but also cliche in dialogue, song choices, plot beats; acting is either fine or needed more takes. Alright, I'm done complaining, this wasn't for me at the end of the day. Not a recommendation.

(Check out past episodes on Batman vs Black Scorpion, Lethal Weapon vs. LA Vice, The Fugitive vs. Fugitive X, RoboCop vs. RoboVampire and Double Impact vs. Twin Dragons.)
