Better Action Movies: 80s or 90s?

[Bryan Danielson]

80s

They invented the quips, jokes, and one liners that these p*ssy young kids seem to hate today


I can tell who never seen a Swartzenegger or Bruce Willis movie till 2001

Imma say 80s cause of how over the top they were. Early 90s was dope too tho.

I prefer the 80s movies. Just mindless violence with plots that may or may not make sense. Seems like the 90s action flicks were more comedy oriented as well.

Nah. 80s had that comedy too. He forgot to list the Beverly Hills Cop movies. Golden Child as well. Also Robocop. Tim Burton’s Batman. Nah man 80s is the GOAT. Van Damme movies. Steven Segal had Above The Law but Marked for Death and Under Siege was early 90s. But still. All that heat. Lol. I feel like binge watching right now.


90s had fire shyt too like Lethal Weapon 4, Long Kiss Goodnight, Goldeneye, Mortal Kombat, Starship Troopers, Rumble In The Bronx, Mission Impossible, etc etc. 90s had some shyt too tho. Lol

waait 90s got Tombstone and Quick and The Dead. And if I get into the martial arts movies like Butterfly Sword and Iron Monkey, Wing Chun, Last Hero In China, Fist Of Legend, etc etc.

I like both the '80s and '90s for action movies. However, I prefer the '90s.

Some blockbuster '80s action movies were cool but a little too gory (and cheesy).

80s.
Terminator
Aliens
Predator
Robocop
Die Hard
Lethal Weapon
Commando
First Blood

And many more. Raw, bloody and no cgi.

90s is a close second of course but 80s is too dope.

I was thinking more in line of the buddy-action movies of the 90s. 80s had some funny one liners and such.

That isn’t to say I didn’t like those 90s action flicks. I would even as far as to say the 90s movies were better overall. As far as straight action though with explosion and violence, give me the 80s.
