This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road, which of course is based off of his original Mad Max film from the 1980’s. The 1980’s were, arguably, the golden age for action movies. So many great action movies that stand the test of time, giving us characters and moments we’ll never forget. In fact, two of them even gave us the best action heroines of all-time in Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley. So, yeah, we had a lot to talk about.
That being said, what 80’s action movies would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours (Keep in mind we all have different criteria for our lists as well):
