Ah yes, American Ninja...This film had all of the qualifications for an 80's movie....A lead actor that had 0 acting skills, hair band music and poorly choreographed martial arts....Not to mention the completely cheese-filled storyline.
Well who could forget Back to the Future....This was really one of the movies that portrayed the 80's as they were....Skateboards, rock music, and a super cool car.
One of my favorite movies from the time period (besides Star Wars of course). The Princess Bride was awesome...Plenty of humor to go around and Andre the Giant in a great role....I just read an article about this movie that talked about how bad off Andre was getting during the filming. They said that it took about twice as long to shoot his scenes because he was in such bad shape. Very sad.
Actually I prefer the reboot of the this movie as I have never been a fan of old Ralph Macchio. He is not the greatest actor in my book. Of course Pat Morita makes teh movie what it is. This movie did really define a lot from the 80's. The story of the weakling underdog rising to the top and beating the cool kids.
