Malibu Express (1985)
I expected Malibu Express to have glistening golden skin warmly drenched in sunlight, much like you might have in an episode of Baywatch. It does not.

Royce (1994)
Royce is not as serious a movie as it could have been and this is why it works so well. Jim brings a huge amount of colour to the character, quipping at every opportunity – some of them are even funny!
Thunder Run (1985)
1985’s Thunder Run is equal parts The Road Warrior, The A-Team and Wargames, with a smattering of Porky’s to appeal to the youth.
Fever (1991)
Back in 1991 Sam Neill and Armand Assante made Fever, an HBO TV Movie promising to be packed with action, sex and thrills. Spoiler, it wasn’t.
Solar Crisis (1990)

The Female Executioner (L’exécutrice) wants to be a tough-as-nails, female Dirty Harry knock-off yet there is very little that it manages to get right.
Bat*21 (1988)
The second of, what I describe as, Gene Hackman’s Missing in Action trilogy following Uncommon Valour.
Uncommon Valour (1983)
There is no shortage of missing in action prisoner of war movies from the 80’s, however, featuring a terrific cast and a director of note Uncommon Valour is far from your typical ‘Nam action.
