Better Action Movies: 80s or 90s?

[FromStLouis]

Hey now they had 3 ninjas kick back

I'm ashamed to admit I liked these movies



I'll never watch em again though.

But yeah, Ninjas still haven't recovered from the 90s.

I know im in the minority but I prefer T1 to T2

I prefer Terminator 1 too. Terminator 1 was darker, grittier... it kinda had a weird early 80's new wave vibe to it. (example: The disco tech scene)

Terminator 2 relied more on special effects.

The music still goes hard IMO.

The '90s had the same stuff but with better CGI, less cheesiness (overall) and better cinematography (overall).


The '90s had...

Jurassic Park
Point Break
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Die Hard 2 & 3
Lethal Weapon 3 & 4
The Matrix
The Fifth Element
True Lies
Batman Returns
Independence Day
Mission: Impossible 1
Saving Private Ryan
Rush Hour
Bad Boys
Men in Black
Speed
Air Force One
Heat
The Rock
Face/Off
Blade
Enemy of the State
The Fugitive
Patriot Games
Clear and Present Danger
Falling Down
Set It Off
GoldenEye
Tombstone
Rumble in the Bronx
Con Air
Three Kings

I could go on and on. I love many '80s action movies. But I'm sorry - the '90s is top tier

I'm taking Heat over any 80s flick. Plus it doesn't have Ronald Reagan bullshyt attached to it

Die hard 2 gets slept on way too much.
But even with all those bangers in bold, 80s wins. 90s movies started having too much goofy shyt. Half of those movies are movies with action, not really "action movies".. like if u start adding Saving Private Ryan as a 90s action movie we can add

80s:
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Scarface?

 

[Big Boss]

80s

 

[BlackMajik]

I forgot all about Long Kiss Goodnight. That's a point for the 90s

 

[OmegaK2099]

80s hong kong action had Jackie Chan style movies but I wouldnt recommend watching those flicks in full because they can get really dumb with the elementary school humor

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

80s were more popcorn fun action!
Robocop OG would debate any of the 90s flix.

 

[Rottweiler]

It's a draw for me

 

[zerorequiem]

I'ma have to go 90s.
