We were so spoiled late 80's early 90's
We had it so good with action movies, when you compare it to what it released now. Nowadays, virtually all of this style of movie is released DTV, and we have guys like Scott Adkins, who is a phenomenal physical talent, but has zero charisma, in which you never care a lick about any of his characterizations.
It's trendy to label something like BotB as 80's 'cheese'. You see that term all the time for 80's and 90's action movies. Classic 'cheese'. Whatever the fuck ever. Fuck you if you think that. This is good quality film making, with an actual dramatic purpose to the plot. The 1980's and 1990's just simply left a legacy of quality action flicks that will never again be matched. I'm so glad to own this stuff on disc.
