Some of my 80's favs:

Big Trouble in Little China
Escape From New York (Yeah, John Carpenter rocks!)
Commando
Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins

and the mother of all movies...
The Right Stuff

Not sure if most would classify it as an "action movie" but I do and that's what counts.

MILF's are the ****...

Anyway, how could anyone forget Cobra. Probably only beaten on the cheesy scale by Commando.

The director of the Running Man should be shot. He had a very interested dirty / gritty script already written, and he goes and ****s it up so bad.

Yes, was. She's bulimic now. I don't think the "just escaped from a Nazi concentration camp" look is sexy.

There is nothing wrong with MILF's.:cool:

Post by: FiLtH on April 30, 2007, 08:46:43 PM: Cobra...lol..I'll never forget it. I spent the whole movie sitting with a girl eating Twizzlers and drinking Cokes. I filled up with gas. When I took her home she asked if I'd like to come in and meet her mother. I said I'd have to make it another time as I had to get back to base.

As soon as she went inside...I unbuttoned my pants and let loose with a barrage of gas. Ahhhhh what a relief!

Post by: Gunthr on April 30, 2007, 08:52:25 PM: ALIENS dominated the genre in my mind... that was really well done.

Itried to watch Conan the Barbarian the other night - wanted to hear "da lamentashuns uf da Vimmen" line, but the movie was just too dumb. i was transfixed at how dumb it was and how it was filmed - kind of like of mixture of the style of the spagetti westerns mixed with the style of star trek, except with barbarians, swords and paper mache rocks. MST3K would have had a field day with that one.

Post by: DiabloTX on April 30, 2007, 08:54:53 PM: Sounds like you were watching Conan the Destroyer and not Conan the Barbarian.

It was an produced by Raffaella De Laurentiis so that might explain the Italian spaghetti western feel of it.

No, he's talking about Conan the Barbarian. I myself think it's a ridiculous movie. It wouldn't have been so entirely bad of a movie had I not come to the realization that James Earl Jones is a giant snake. That point alone just ruined what could have been a decent movie.

Post by: Nilsen on May 01, 2007, 12:32:42 AM: A very very few gems from the 80s, but like most things in that decade the movie industry also sucked bigtime.

Without looking at the above posts i can only seem to remember Alien and full metal jacket as really good movies.

Post by: LePaul on May 01, 2007, 12:59:35 AM: Commando keeps making it on the Amercian Movie Classics lately.

I just cant stop groaning to scenes like....

1) The hip-shooting marksman

2) The Uzi's galore

3) "Richochets" of an airplane door (that float plane)

4) Vhat berry bahd ahhk-scent

Red Dawn was excellent

As was Robocop "You're move, creep"
