Aces: Iron Eagle III

I believe that, if you make a crappy movie, you probably shouldn't make a sequel.  If you do make a sequel, then it had BETTER be better than the original.  If it's worse, then you probably shouldn't make any more movies for the rest of your life.  Iron Eagle was so bad that it was good.  Iron Eagle II was even worse, but was good in a really cheesy, awful way.  Aces: Iron Eagle III should never have been made.  The worst film of the four (yes, the idiots in charge made FOUR), Louis Gossett, Jr. is unable to make this movie make much sense whatsoever.  Even Sonny Chiba can't save this movie (although he does give a slightly above average performance).  This movie, however, did grow on me, sort of like cancer cells (although cancer cells multiply rather than grow, and I actually would rather have cancer than be forced to watch this movie).  I'll probably watch it again, since it is sort of fascinating (in a horrific, car-crash-by-the-side-of-the-road way).  The plot is inconsequential, and is simply an excuse to show off old World War II warbirds (including a P-38, a Spitfire, a Zero, and a Bf 109) instead of the series' standard F-16s and "MiGs"/Kfirs/F-4s.  At least the flying scenes are relatively decent.

Rating: 0.0001/4
