Muscles, martial arts and montages! This month in addition to all the new release films that are coming out, I'm also going to be reviewing action movies made solely in the 1980's. The great thing about action movies of this time is that they sum up the socio-political feelings of the time, whether that be the Cold War fears of Red Dawn or the issue of POWs that is looked upon in Missing in Action.
While I can't review every single action movie that came out that decade (and there are a lot of them), I will be reviewing movies from a broad group of actors who were known for different types of action films (although, you could say that they are all similar).
If you wish to join in and watch the movies with me, here is a list of the films I will be watching and reviewing.
- Commando (1985)
- Bloodsport (1988)
- Lethal Weapon (1987)
- Big Trouble In Little China (1986)
- Road House (1989)
- Above The Law (1989)
- Missing In Action (1984)
- Red Dawn (1984)
- Die Hard (1988)
- Aliens (1986)
- Predator (1987)
- The Terminator (1984)
The first movie that I am going to be reviewing is Commando, but after that it will be a completely random choice.
