Marvelous Videos presents a selection of underappreciated action heroes from the golden age of VHS…
There’s a reason everyone misses the 80s- it was a golden age for cinema. No seriously, not only did you have a sci-fi revolution with the likes of Terminator, Aliens, and Back to the Future, but you also had a rebirth in the action genre following the fall of the western in the 70s.
All the greats that you hear about these days originated from the 80s. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Jean-Claude Van Damme all got their rise during this time. But the reality was, they weren’t alone. There were a ton of other amazing supporting heroes whose films either didn’t hit mainstream success or got overshadowed by their more popular contemporary releases.
