Trivia
It can clearly be seen on some of the computer screens at the enemy missile base that spreadsheets of Lotus 123 are loaded instead of any missile launch software.

Goofs
In the widescreen format of the movie, shown at the cinemas in Bulgaria in September 1991, a hand of a crew member, moving slowly the B-52 model in front of the camera, was clearly visible.

Everybody was kung fu fighting, with airplanes!

This time Louis Gossett Jr returns to whip new American and Russian recruits in line to prepare them for a mission against middle eastern terrorists who have gotten a nuclear launching site, of course the mission is meant to fail but in the heat of it all heroism prevails over the differences of the soldiers in question. Iron Eagle II was as ridiculous as it's predecessor however the edge of the first one and the overall amusing teenage vengeance angle is in favor dropped in favor of your basic military mission that for the most part is watchable if not too interesting. Iron Eagle II is fun in short spurts it is just that there is just too much character development and Gossett while good is not there nearly enough to bail out the movie's lame drama. Still it is at least better than the next two entries.
