those movies starring charles bronson
First few scenes are the setup for a much better film. It's bad, but it just doesn't compare to:

Also, OP should hang his head in shame, Cobra is the greatest cinematic masterpiece of all time.

Actual capsule review: "Caught in a time of dinosaurs and lasers, caveman Yor (Reb Brown) seeks a mate and finds Ka-Laa (Corinne Clery)." And it starts like this.

OMG, of course. ROFL
It also punctuates things in a rather sad way for Mark here.

Of course. That's what makes these movies so great. Even though they were pure shit as far as production values and artistic merit, they were great fun to watch, either because they were hilariously bad, or just plain entertaining.

The Last Dragon wasn't really an action film and Collision Course was so bad that HBO doesn't even it air in HD.
Blame it on Jay Leno.

I can watch young Stallone all day.
I saw that Jay Leno movie. There was a scene where someone (forget who) leaps and drop kicks through windshield window of a moving car to hit the person driving. IDK, the way it was shot was just hilarious to me and my brother at the time. Maybe the first time I've ever laughed at a movie.
Think it is worth gif-ing the black guy too. He is so damn intense in his joy.

I found the best movies by crawling on my hands and knees and searching the bottom shelf.
Got some funny looks from people renting the latest new releases, but I bet they didn't enjoy them half as much as I enjoyed whatever trash that I managed to find.

All this thread is reminding me of is that poster art is nowhere near as awesome as it used to be.
The Wraith (1986)
Starring Charlie Sheen. In a small town in Arizona, a gang of punks bullies anyone with a cool car into betting their car in a street race for pink slips. Since this gang plays dirty and already has the best cars, basically they're just stealing cars and getting away with it. They murdered Charlie Sheen's character because the gang leader wanted to get with Charlie's girl.
But Charlie Sheen crawls out of hell and comes back as a black-suited figure with an alien supercar (actually an unreleased Dodge prototype). He silently challenges the gang members to race him, and toys with them before killing them off one by one.
The end.

The only part I ever liked the the final third of the movie where Danny Glover's character was chasing down the Predator. Still though, it was pretty terrible. It also had some of the worst character dialogue I have ever heard in a big budget action movie.
RoboCop 2 could almost be clumped into this category as well, and RoboCop 3 was even worse.
yeah, i think Prior actually managed to get some cred in the industry because I've seen a lot of more or less famous actors in his terribad movies, like Tony Curtis...he isn't even that bad as director, he knows a couple of tricks, mostly copied from actual movies, but still not completely hokey
his filmography is the encyclopedia of trash. I also seen
which is just fantastic entertainment, and
with said Curtis, always completely drunk (like Carradine in Future Force/Zone) and a lot of decent casting members. Plus, he looked like Christian Bale (look at his face!)
favourite Final Sanction quote

Robocop 2 had a hardcore opening scene though. I saw the uncensored version as a young lad. Haven't been able to find that again though.

Never forget the part where the steamroller runs over the kid. It warms my heart that somebody actually captured this scene and put it up on youtube.

Great movie. My favourite of the Italian Post-Apocalypse movies is 2019: After the Fall of New York.
The Barbarians is an amazing Conan rip-off made by Ruggero Deodato of Cannibal Holocaust fame.
Here is a clip from the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6BAd7xJuU0

COMMANDOOOOOOOOOO
Never, EVER even think about thinking about putting Commando into the category of 'Awful', unless its 'awfully good'. Commando is the best film. FACT.

Oh I agree totally. What made predator 1 so amazing is that if anyone stood even a small chance against a predator it was Arnie. Its that simple. Danny would have no chance. He spends most that film running about looking terrified.
Predator 1 is the only predator that should exist.
Its amazing how many 80 actions films were both terrible and amazing at the same time. My fav is prob commando for the sheer insane amount of one lines and total nonsense.
"What did you do with him"
"I let him go"
Newly added to Netflix Instant as well.
And this movie kicks ass as well. Mark Dacascos is a bad ass.
There are two different versions of this awesome movie.
The heavily edited, techno soundtrack version (which is what most people have probably seen) is pretty awful at times, but it still features some of the best fight scenes you'll ever see.
On the other hand though, the Director's Cut is an action masterpiece, and really doesn't belong in this thread.

Actually, Robocop 2 did have some pretty decent action pieces in spots and a few comical moments. But overall the script was a mess.
Arnold actually had a lot of influence on the making of Predator. In the original script, it was penned to just be him (one person) against a predator in the Jungle. The original script idea came from: "what would Rocky Balboa fight next after defeating communism?" Well an Alien. So a script was made around one person battling an alien in a jungle. Apparently Arnold didn't like this idea and suggested that it should be about a whole squad of commando's against one alien. Arnold felt that a whole team in the jungle would be more realistic and he liked the idea of fighting along side people that could be considered his equals. They went with his idea.
Also, they had to halt production because the original costume for the predator looked like a complete joke. They were already deep into filming and didn't get the costume until half way through production, when they did receive the costume, John Mctiernan took one look at it and said "nope". It was Arnold's suggestion that they should use Stan Winston to make a new predator costume instead, because of his connections with Stan through Terminator 1.
And Jesse Ventura's gatling gun was one of the coolest looking things in that movie. It made no sense in the real world, but it looked awesome. You could say that it created a whole cliche in action movies (and video games), they later reused the same idea in Terminator 2 with Arnold.

True, it was a piece of shit. I merely remember it because I was totally shocked when that high heel went into an eye-socket.
Edit: I don't even know if it looked realistic. I've seen it once yeeeeeaaaaaars ago and never saw the scene again.

Probably not as boring as Blade Runner. Come at me brahs.
Some fantastic posts in here, makes me smile so hard 
I must admit I looooove Robocop 2 and Predator 2. I get so much enjoyment from both of them, especially Predator 2.
'More VICTIIIIMS! More MUTILAAAAAAATION!'
Anyway as for my contribution, Eye Of The Tiger starring Gary Busey and Yaphet Kotto!
