The 1980s. A time of fear: fear of the unknown, fear of your
neighbours, fear of drugs, fear of sex, fear of strangers, fear of
videos, and the very real fear that the world would end at any
moment in an awful, and very sudden, nuclear attack. However, in
those times of turmoil and worry, there was a comfort that soothed
the mind, and acted as a quiet balm: action movies. Video shops
were bursting at the seams with rampant gunfire, sex, drugs, rock,
roll, cars on fire, people on fire, guns, bombs, and people dressed
in army fatigues (and that was just the staff). Heroes were born
shrouded in fire and violent revenge, they were not only armed with
guns, but also red-hot quips, that served as a muscly arm around
the shoulder, and a wink that everything was going to be okay. So
thank you Arnold, Sylvester, Sigourney, Bruce, Eddie, Charles,
Patrick, Mel, Chuck and everyone else that made it happen. You
saved the world, in your own inimitable way. Join John Rain, the
author of the critically-acclaimed Thunderbook: The World of Bond
According to Smersh Pod, as he examines a choice selection of the
greatest action movies from the decade when the explosion was king.
