Packer

Packer is a minor antagonist in the first installment of the Iron Eagle series. He is one of Knotcher's cronies, along with Brillo, who helps Knotcher humiliate protagonist Doug Masters, as well as laughs at the former's insults.

Appearance 1--Iron Eagle (1986)
Led by a motorcycle-riding Knotcher, Packer is first seen driving recklessly in a pickup truck with Brillo. Knotcher, Packer, and Brillo, in their respective vehicles, then nearly cause an accident, by speeding and cutting in front of Katie's car, and then speeding into the diner. The three mentioned before Katie then park their respective vehicles off-screen, Packer parking his and Brillo's monster truck off-screen. To an eager Doug Masters, who was waiting at the diner and had witnessed the mayhem and asked what Knotcher and his friends (unnamed to the audience) did, Katie complained that she was driving, when the Knotcher, Packer, and Brillo came up behind her on the bridge. Caring for Katie, Doug furiously charges at Knotcher and his cronies (Packer included) and loudly calls them bastards, before questioning Knotcher's mean behavior. Then, after Knotcher insults Doug, and gets stood up to by Reggie and Tony, Packer remarks to Doug and the aforementioned that they have nice jackets.

Packer's next appearance is during the plane race at McIntyre mountain, between Doug and Knotcher. While Doug is flying a civilian Cessna, Packer is riding with Tony in a different plane. During the race, Doug's plane decreases in oil pressure, and starts to malfunction. Unbeknownst to Doug, Packer, Brillo, and Knotcher were responsible the malfunction, by loosening the plane's oil cap off-screen. When Tony notices this, he furiously admonishes Packer (accusing the latter of causing the plane's malfunction), who timidly admits to sabotaging Doug's plane, but says that Knotcher made him do it.

Trivia
Packer is portrayed by Rob Garrison, who also played Tommy (the "GET HIM A BODY BAG!!" guy) in The Karate Kid (1984). Both characters are similar, in the vein, that that they are a crony to a bully, and that they are both outright loud and vocal, and are prone to making loud and often rude remarks, out of meanness, excitement, or anger. However, Packer is less vocal, but when he is, he can be just as loud as Tommy.
