Excellent Terrible Movies of the 1980s

From muscle-bound heroes to impossible explosions, Excellent Terrible Movies of the 1980s is a loving deep dive into the loudest, wildest corner of 1980s action cinema. This book celebrates an era where subtlety was optional, bullets were infinite, and one-liners mattered more than logic. Covering cult classics, Cannon Films excess, straight-to-video insanity, and genre parodies, it explores why these movies worked, why they failed, and why we still can’t stop watching them. Featuring icons like Stallone, Norris, Seagal, Lundgren, and Weathers—alongside forgotten gems and glorious disasters—this is part film history, part affectionate autopsy. Whether you grew up on VHS rentals or discovered these films through late-night TV, this book argues that the 1980s perfected something cinema has never truly recaptured: the art of the excellent terrible movie.
