Louis Gossett Jr. returns as fighter-pilot Colonel Chappy Sinclair, in IRON EAGLE 3-ACES. Fatigued from military life, Chappy has retired and started up an air circus with fellow pilots Horikoshi (Sonny Chiba) and Palmer (Christopher Cazenove). Together, they reenact famous dogfights using vintage World War II planes. The carnival is interrupted, however, when Chappy's old friend Anna (Rachel McClish), arrives and implores the Air Circus to help her battle a Peruvian cartel bent on smuggling drugs onto America. Using only the antique planes to combat the well armed drug runners, Chappy leads his flying aces into an unforgettable air battle.
IRON EAGLE 3 exhibits director John Glen's eye for action. Formerly editor of James Bond Films (YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE and MOONRAKER), Glen insures the action, utilizing quick zooms and lightning speed cuts. The state of the art special effects are dizzying and Rachel McClish's performance as a determined heroine is outstanding. One holds her character capable of saving Peru and America. IRON EAGLE 3 is a must for any action fan.
