+MigBuster Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Not seen this before - i dont mean the dodgy film - the uploader has put little pop up boxes telling you exactly where the obvious mistakes are hahaha Quote
ONETINSOLDIER Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 can I get extra cheese on that, please? Quote
DarthRevan Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 The whole Iron Eagle serie was infested with errors and not likely moments Quote
+Piecemeal Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Yeah; it was a great flick to watch when I was an acne infested teen but now I cringe whenever I see it on the shelf in the local DVD shop. My missus has said; 'why don't you buy that one - you like that kind of stuff'. My only reply is; 'don't you dare ever buy that for my birthday or for Xmas' My missus just looks away scratching her head in confusion Quote
+Ruggbutt Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 At least they got how the throttle works in those movies. If I see Maverick say "I'm putting on the brakes" one more time as he pulls the stick back and jams the throttle forward I'll scream. I miss Chappie. Quote
Viggen Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 A couple of years ago....actually, more like five or six, I had just become obsessed with aviation. Was watching AMC and this was on. As soon as I saw the Kfirs posing as MiG-23s I turned the TV off. My dad just looked at me and I said, "Even I know aviation better than Hollywood." Then came TOP GUN..... Quote
Lt. James Cater Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 How these movies actually made money still leaves me wondering. Quote
Rambler 1-1 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Yeah! Go Russian guys in F-4s! Kick some desert-camo Alaska-based F-16A or C butt! Quote
fallenphoenix1986 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 At 5:14 someone pointed out that the altimeter is inverted.. upon closer inspection our intrepid pilot is loosing altitude... in a flat climbing spin... While on screen he falls from 18,900 to 19,100 :) As inaccurate and terrible as they are I still kinda have a soft spot for the Iron Eagle films... so bad their good lol Craig "Just gimmie fried chicken" Quote
Slartibartfast Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Aaaaahh the old adage "So bad that they are good comes to mind..." I too admit I watched them when I was a kid and even I knew it was the Israeli Air Force doubling for everyone... Quote
