I have a bit of a soft spot for 80s action movies. There’s just something about the decade that feels impossible to replicate, from the ridiculous one-liners, unforgettable villains and enough explosions to make modern blockbusters look tame. From “Die Hard” and “The Terminator” to “Top Gun,” “Predator” and “RoboCop,” the 1980s gave us some of the most iconic action movies ever made.
But how well do you actually remember them? This quiz is here to find out. I’ve put together 10 questions covering some of the biggest action movies of the decade, and I’m not sticking to the really obvious stuff. You’ll need to remember those smaller details, character names and moments that only a true fan would know.
Think you’re an 80s action movie expert? Give it your best shot — and no cheating! Score 8/10 or higher and you can officially consider yourself a serious movie buff. Get all 10, and I’ll be seriously impressed.
