Iron Eagle III

Aces: Iron Eagle III is a 1992 action film directed by John Glen, produced by Ron Samuels, and written by Kevin Alyn Elders. A sequel to the 1988 film Iron Eagle II, it is the third installment of the Iron Eagle film series, the first and only entry in the series to be given an R rating and the only entry in the series to not be directed by Sidney J. Furie. Louis Gossett Jr. reprises his role as Brigadier General Charles "Chappy" Sinclair, the only returning cast member from the previous films, starring with Rachel McLish (in her acting debut), Paul Freeman, Sonny Chiba, Horst Buchholz, Christopher Cazenove, Mitchell Ryan and J. E. Freeman. Retired boxing champion Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini appears in a cameo role. The film was panned by critics and grossed $2.5 million off a reported $13.5 million budget. It was followed by a sequel in 1995, Iron Eagle on the Attack, released direct-to-video.
