* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** The five Russians from the second movie (especially Yuri) are better liked than most of their American counterparts for being more professional and dignified while still having their own NotSoAboveItAll RagtagBunchOfMisfits traits.
** Stockman from the third movie never gets any action scenes but is still a pretty popular supporting character for being a BenevolentBoss and CoolOldGuy whose actor plays his role convincingly.

** The all four films have pretty solid orchestral scores from the likes of Music/BasilPoledouris, Amin Bhatia, Music/HarryManfredini, and Paul Zaza. The orchestral music from the start of ''Aces'' is [[https://youtu.be/1ACkyPqwlCU?t=360 especially cool]].

* QuestionableCasting: In ''Aces: Iron Eagle III'' Leichmann, Palmer, Horikoshi and BigBad Kleiss are WWII veterans... and played by actors far too young to have served at the time; Horst Buccholz (born 1933), as Leichmann, was 12 years old when that war ended and he's the '''oldest''' (Sonny Chiba [Horikoshi] was born in 1939, and Christopher Cazenove [Palmer] and [[Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie Paul]] [[Film/HotFuzz Freeman]] [Kleiss] were both born in 1943).

* {{Sequelitis}}: The first movie is considered a CultClassic. The remaining three... definitely aren't. At most, you might get some who argue ''IV'' to be a SurprisinglyImprovedSequel compared to ''II'' and ''Aces'', but all three are considered well behind the first in quality terms.
