Midnight Movie Snack on Instagram: "Iron Eagle (1986) had no cooperation from the U.S. Air Force, so the filmmakers used Israeli Kfir jets, stock footage, and creative editing to bring its teenage fighter-pilot fantasy to life. A wall-to-wall 80s rock soundtrack helped turn it into a cable and VHS favorite despite harsh reviews. We also recorded a full audio commentary you can sync with your own copy of the film.
