Ultimate 80s Action Movie Countdown! VHS Tapes

Hey there, movie fans! Welcome back to Anyone Else Love The 80's with Online2ya, where we take a deep dive into the films that defined generations.

Today, we're strapping on our combat boots, loading up our VHS players, and revving our engines for a wild ride through the world of 1980s action films! So, grab your popcorn, and let’s get to it!

First up, we have 'Commando'—a film that redefined the action genre. Released in 1985 and starring the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger, this movie is a perfect blend of over-the-top action and one-liners.Schwarzenegger plays John Matrix, a retired special forces colonel who must rescue his daughter from a group of mercenaries. With a body count that rivals a small army and enough firepower to take down a city block, 'Commando' is a masterclass in 80’s action.
From taking out an entire battalion with a single machine gun to delivering classic lines like, 'Let off some steam, Bennett,' this film is a treasure trove of unforgettable moments. Plus, who could forget the iconic ‘chase through the jungle’ scene? Pure gold!

Next on our list is 'Rambo,' featuring the legendary Sylvester Stallone. Starting with 'First Blood' in 1982, John Rambo quickly became an icon of the 80s. Rambo is a Vietnam War veteran with a troubled past, trying to find peace in a world that doesn’t understand him. But when he's wrongfully pursued by the law, he taps into his military training and transforms into a one-man army. The film explores themes of PTSD, survival, and redemption, all while delivering heart-pounding action sequences

And finally, we arrive at 'Die Hard'—the film that changed the action genre forever. Released in 1988 and starring Bruce Willis as the wise-cracking NYPD officer John McClane, this movie brought a new flavour to the genre.Set in a high-rise building taken over by terrorists, 'Die Hard' is a masterclass in tension and wit. McClane is just an everyman, trying to save his estranged wife and a group of hostages, armed only with his quick thinking and a whole lot of grit.With unforgettable lines, heart-stopping action, and a villain played by the charismatic Alan Rickman, 'Die Hard' is not just a Christmas movie; it’s a timeless classic that paved the way for many action films to come.
