I love cheesy 80's action movies

Well, if a high body count is what you want try Stalingrad.

I think RObocop holds the record for highest body count but I could be wrong.

Get the director's cut for all the gore scenes they cut out.

Dead Alive, but then all those zombies were dead already before

my friend really liked that movie. He was a big buy sort of like the big white guy in the film.

This film is PC- but in a good way. It shows all kinds of different fighting styles. It's kind of cool to watch. I don't know how realistic those fighting styles are, but they are cool. Like the african dude who stays low to the ground.

ACK!

I've never known anyone famous or their kids.

and no one has identified my avatar yet . Or you have and just don't care enough to post it . Or it's a better known picture than I have believed. It's possible the type of poster who frequents Apolyton is the type who will have seen the movie where my avatar came from.

It's not actually from a cheesy 80's movie, but a cheesy late 70's movie.


hint: This movie was supposed to be a bigger box office hit than Star Wars.

Looks like Mad Max

[Dis]

nope

[Donegeal]

I don't remember the name of the movie, but its a vehical that travels cross county in a post apocoliptical US towards the radio signals of a surveing group somewhere in Upstate New York (or something like that, maybe Ohio). It actually traveled with another similar vehical, but only one made it. I was real young when I watched the movie. When they got to Las Vegas and they battled the armored cockroaches (that mutated from the radiation), I get scared and ran away... (come on, I was like 6!)

Damnation Alley?

[Dis]

yep, that's it.

the movie sure is dated. I like how they are in Las Vegas and they are amazed the slot machines still work. I'm sure they would back then, as most were mechanical reel type back then. Everything is electronic now days. They won't work without electricity (though some casinos use backup generators when the power goes out- but that can only last a day or so).

Where Eagles Dare had Clint Eastwood's second highest bodycount.

A great film. Burton does the acting, Eastwood does the killing. But it was a sixties film iirc.

I like films where Steven Seagal is overweight and has a ponytail and kills people with his eyelashes of death and kung fu eyebrow grip.


I'm just big-boned and like eating sweets. Three piece suites.

Still, some of his moves are the most realistic of any movie martial arts character.

That's all well and good, but he's still in them.

I'd almost rather watch chop-socky or (eck) 'Kill Bill'.


No, no I wouldn't. I take that back. Too horrible a thought.
