There have been child-warriors all throughout history, though.
Show me one who was ten years old and who accomplished something solo. I'd be interested in seeing it. As far as I'm concerned, The Phantom Menace's ending made Iron Eagle look like a documentary.
Iron Eagle is a treasured piece of cinematic gold! An epic testament to the capabilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon and Lou Gosset Jr!
Iron Eagle II was twice as good! Killing off the main kid from the first movie in the first 5 minutes with a missile from the new main characters love interest? Now that is a Twist M. Night Shamalan is jealous of!
I know! And having a Soviet female fighter pilot is the bomb! She was awesome to watch growing up. Didn't hurt that I have a Russian name and a collection of old Soviet military badges.
