As a child of the 80s this movie is a classic. Yes, it reuses the soundtrack from Die Hard. Yes, it's heavy on the cheese. But damn is it not an hour 54 of enjoyment.
As a martial artist and boxer myself many years ago, Patrick Swayze isn't getting graded high on his belts or winning any tournaments but the fights here serve their purpose well. With the great Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez involved, it makes sense that they work.
Kelly Lynch is always desirable with every watch - and I reckon I've seen this at least a dozen times. Sam is brilliant as Wade too - years before he would bless the Big Lebowski with his timbre.
The 80s gave us great action movies, where logic went out the window and enjoyment reigned supreme. Come to this film with that aim and you'll love it.
