I love 90s action flicks but the 80s were sick, maybe better:
Die Hard is the GOAT action, 1988.
Predator
Aliens
The Terminator
Rambo
Robocop
Lethal Weapon
Commando
Omg, it’s a KO for the 8os just off the top of my head
The first Rambo I'm not even sure I'd call an action film and Rambo II and III actually aren't that good.
Let's look at our 90s lineup:
Terminator 2
The Matrix
Total Recall
True Lies
Demolition Man
Die Hard 2
Independence Day
Blade
The Rock
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Robocop 2
Desperado
The Crow
Face/Off
Double Impact
Under Siege
Speed
This is only including movies that I think are very-good-to-great. I could go on with films like Cliffhanger, Executive Decision, Rapid Fire, Showdown in Little Tokyo, and The Big Hit.
And this is also without going overseas and fucking with what John Woo and Jackie Chan were doing at the time.
The 80s were great and produced a lot of great films in the genre--some of the greatest, in fact--but if you told me I could only keep the action movies from ONE decade, it would be the 90s. Hands down.
