OT- greatest 80’s and 90’s cheesy action movies

[Chongo94]

The thread title said cheesy but most movies mentioned here are anything but cheesy. These are great ones. I notice Sylvester Stallone's been mention twice but no mention of Rambo first Blood 1 and First Blood 2

I’m not sure Rambo belongs in the same breath as Gymkata....

One of my all-time favorite 80’s movies.

They’re remaking that with The Rock? Sounds terrible.

Supposedly, yes. Been slow to get traction but he says he is seriously and determinedly committed. Says it won’t be a remake but some kind of prequel or sequel or something but still, ugh.

Just remember what old Jack Burton does when the earth quakes and the poison arrows fall from the sky and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right in the eye and says "Give me your best shot. I can take it."

I like that you say some movies aren't cheesy enough....and then mention First Blood which is a legit good drama that is anything but cheese (literally only one death in the entire movie). Rambo doesn't get cheesy until First Blood II.

After that though....yeah standard action flicks.

Top Gun

Made every fighter pilot even more insufferable.

The remake comes out next year I believe.

For those of us who really older "olds" - how about Billy Jack?

Go Frogs!

 

[Chongo94]

Even the trailer is gold haha.

The remake comes out next year I believe.

And probably will star Tom Cruise again. Man he is in good shape for his age.

One of my dad’s cheesier favorites.

Kinda creepy how he is and isn’t aging.

Anyone remember Beastmaster?

Iron Eagle is the one my friends and I went to see together and made fun of through the whole movie. It was a knockoff of Top Gun that was poorly written and poorly acted but so bad it was good.
The best thing about the movie was the Queen song, One Vision.

Allan Quatermaine and the Lost City of Gold with Chuck Norris was an Indiana Jones wannabe movie that was soooo terrible that it was good.

Of course, Howard the Duck was so bad as well, but all of these were fun to watch just because they were so terrible.

Sort of cheesy...and action. In honor of the season coming up...The Best of Times with Kurt Russell and Robin Williams. Something about that movie. When it comes on I just have to watch it.

 

[Armadillo]

I'd be remiss not to mention....

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

Adventurer, brain surgeon, rock musician Buckaroo Banzai and his crime-fighting team, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, must stop evil alien invaders from the eighth dimension who are planning to conquer Earth.

I immediately thought of Big Trouble in Little China. Rainy Sunday afternoon greatness.

Waiting for my haircut yesterday and checking out You Tube:

Rambo: Last Blood - comes out later this year.

I nominate Last of the Dogmen - I watch it every year at deer camp. Scares the young hunters in the morning when I say, "You know, this is the Comanches home range and many never surrendered.

Finally, any of the Sniper movies.

Howard the scheissing Duck....

I had such a huge crush on Lea Thompson back then.

Wasn’t that late 60s or early 70s? Really old brain can’t pin point...

Where are the dill-weeds who come on complaining this isn't TCU sports, TCU, or sports, is ignores then complains to the monitors/owners and has the topic moved to the General Board, even though he is the only one having a problem and it breaks no rules of the Forum?

That being said, remember:
Mars Attacks, Zoro the Gay Blade, Robo Cop, the Three Amigos, Romancing the Stone? Maybe not all those are cheesy but are strange and enjoyable.

And for something really, really weird, try Forbidden Zone

I don’t know any fighter pilots.
