Aces: Iron Eagle III is a 1992 American action film directed by John Glen and is the third installment of the Iron Eagle film series, with Louis Gossett, Jr. reprising his role as Col. Charles "Chappy" Sinclair. Also starring are Japanese actor Sonny Chiba and retired boxing champion Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini. This film was originally owned by New Line Cinema (which was later merged with Warner Bros. in 2008). However, when Alex Bafer renamed his production company Carolco Pictures, formerly known as Brick Top Productions on January 20, 2015 and Alex Bafer had left the company on April 7, 2016, this was sold to StudioCanal. The film was noteworthy as one of the first films to cast a woman (former bodybuilder Rachel McLish as Anna) as a physically strong character. Aces: Iron Eagle III was heavily panned by critics and grossed $2,517,600 at the box-office.
U.S. Air Force Colonel Charles "Chappy" Sinclair and his friends Leichmann, Palmer and Horikoshi run a classic World War II aircraft exhibition at an air show, where they stage dogfights by shooting each other with paint pellets and are "shot down" by landing with smoke emissions. Then, upon hearing that an old friend named Ramon Morales was killed in a crash in the Gulf of Mexico, Chappy is summoned to Lethridge Air Force Base in Brownsville, Texas, where the remains of Ramon's plane are being examined. Chappy mentions that among Ramon's surviving family members are his sister Anna, who graduated from UCLA on an athletic scholarship, and his father, the mayor of a small Peruvian village. It is discovered that Ramon was shot down while carrying several kilograms of cocaine, which places this case under DEA jurisdiction.
