If you love 1980s American action films, In Search of the Last Action Heroes is a fun and pretty comprehensive clip show of the era, not forgetting what came before and what came after (or came elsewhere, especially in Asia), but definitely centered on how we got to the 'roided-out 80s, how it peaked, and how it eventually dwindled, but left its stamp on movies. It's a loving tribute, by the film maker through the various talking heads (all industry pros, from the era or inspired by it), with a certain level of disdain (but not too much) for the action films of today. Did I learn anything new? Not a lot, even if it's nice to see it all in context, and there are perhaps a couple of minor classics in there that it alerted me to. Somehow, it made me more sympathetic to Scott Adkins. A good reminder to watch more of Cynthia Rothrock's catalog. That's the kind of thing I was left with. 4 weeks 1 day ago
