Re: This Post...
Mar. 17th, 2008 12:30 pmFunny thing was I hadn't seen that particular video for that song before. The only one I ever saw was the tie-in to the movie Iron Eagle, and that was the version I thought I had posted. If I find the other one, I may post it anyway. They were kind of clever about using the song in the actual movie.
Background: When word got out in Hollywood that Top Gun was in the works, the Israeli producers Golan & Globus got Iron Eagle together as a relative quickie...and it beat Top Gun to theaters by a few months! I guess I like them both the same. They both have neat soundtracks. They both have cheesy special effects. I give Top Gun the edge on casting because Lou Gossett jr. pretty much carries Iron Eagle himself, in a role that is basically an off-shoot of his Officer And A Gentleman hard-ass authority figure/mentor character.
( How 'One Vision' Was Used--SPOILERS )
Iron Eagle, the first one, was a satisfactory fusion of a standard rock-n-roll teenager movie (of which there was no lack in the Eighties) and combat action movie. The first sequel is a test case on everything you should NOT do in sequels, even though the action scenes ALMOST redeem it. Aces: Iron Eagle III is a FARCE. I haven't seen Iron Eagle IV, but I'm surprised it got made and released at all.
FP (who thinks it's about time the F-22 got its own movie, as opposed to being an object for Marvel superheroes to latch onto in flight)
PS: ( Look What I Found...Sorry for the video quality )
