What about a motorcycle with a scared girly hostage on the back (hands tied to it or something), fake plates, and a helm for concealment, and then just drive across the mexico border.

It sounds to simple though.

Tank is such a classic. Iron Eagle is just a blatant rip off.

I agree with this 100% except that the two movies were hardly similar at all.

WTF? Both movies are about a father / son duo in a situation where one has to rescue the other using a military vehicle that they conviently ( and contrivedly) have access to. Substitute jet for tank and you have the bulk of the movie.

Neither one was really about a father-son duo. You hardly even saw the father in Iron Eagle.

It's been awhile since I saw Tank, but didn't he own the old tank, and the whole movie was just him driving around crashing into things while the local redneck sheriff tried to stop the tank?

Whereas, Iron Eagle was a deeper film set against the geopolitical backdrop of the 1980s middle east. Rebellious, yet-talented and loyal son fights the system to save his father who has been abandoned by the very country he served. His sidekick and teacher, played by Oscar-winning actor Lou Gossett, sacrifices himself to save them both. Gripping action complimented by subtle comedy, as well as the beautiful student-mentor relationship. A truly moving film. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Kudos, I for one appreciate you, for wasting your lunch hour coming up with this little gem.

Next time incorporate the word "Cinematography" or "Nuance"

Dunno about where most of you guys live, but sydney has a pretty messed up layout (ie urban sprawl based around harbous and not well laid out in square blocks). A motorbike would make it basically impossible for any cop to follow you o keep up. Once they get the chopper, it's not hard to find a built up area to lose them in.

I'd ride into the city or to a shopping centre (mall). There's no way they can cover & track you in the city.

The guys who get caught on tv are nealy always morons. They don't think ahead and they don't know thei area.

Easiest way to lose cop cars when on a bike. Ride into a walkway that has bars at the entrance (the ones that stop cars). By the time they backtrack to the othe side you're out of there.

Only bad thing about the bike is that if you hit something or something hits you, you are either busted or dead. Not so bad in a car.

This is one thing I would've like to have experienced in life. Just the rush of having all that heat on you.
