Superpilot : Into the Sun (1991) – Fritz Kiersch.

80s VHS hero Michael Pare is ace fighter pilot Watkins, and former Brat-packer Anthony Michael Hall plays arrogant film star Tom Slade in largely forgotten 90s actioner Superpilot: Into The Sun. Fleet of fists, and fleeter of joystick, the querulous shenanigans of a Gung ho Military jock vs entitled Hollywood star provides much of the dramatic grist for this amenable sky-bound shoot 'em up. I think its fair to say that enjoyment of Superpilot is largely predicated upon viewers pronounced appreciation of broad Buddy Buddy shtick, hot-blooded Go-America aeronautical acrobatics, and leads Pare and Hall. It's mostly entertaining, but I'm not adverse to standard DTV fare, and I remain an unapologetic super-fan of handsome gravel-voiced grump Pare. The cast is decent, featuring some familiar faces, and if you can't quite cope with yet another repeat of Iron Eagle on the ol' telly box, Superpilot might just ignite your afterburners, falls a mite short of mach 10, but arguably a good 6 in a high wind! Terry Kiser's barnstorming performance as Slade's gonzo agent provides a lively comedic element, and I'm quite sure many of us can benefit from the fighter pilot credo of 'When in doubt, whip it out!'
