Lots of interviews make a fun look back at action heroes and movies of the 80s and early 90s BUT there are some really weird typos in places (wrong dates and directors names for example) that make you scratch your head that they could have been missed. But overall it's a solid retrospective and worth watching if you like that era of movies.
Essentially a 2 and half hour YouTube video. Little to no narrative structure, no visual cohesion and very repetitive. Also HIGHLY dubious this cost the full 100k bucks they crowdfunded, even more so having seen the low quality of the backer rewards issued
Started off really good them went downhill fast with too much emphasis on 90s action movies for some weird reason missing out on tons of 80s classics that weren't even mentioned ie- Invasion USA,Big Trouble in Little China,Avenging Force,Delta Force,Rocky 4...very strange documentary
Really entertaining documentary with some great anecdotes about the 1980's and the rise of action movies and actors. Very well done, it keeps ones' attention while watching.
Let's start off saying that it was an OK film just off the fact that it was a documentary about the action film world, but it was very one-sided and bias. The direction of the film was all over the place. Couldn't understand why this was a 2-hour film, but only focused on 2-3 action stars and didn't dive deeper into each action star's story. The film lacked stylization in the editing and the transitions to the next topic/actor were terrible and so abrupt. How are you going to talk about action stars of the 70s, 80s, 90s and not include Snipes, Jet - Li, Donnie Yen, Jim Kelly? This film should have been called In Search of The Last White Action Heroes. If you're bored and have nothing going on, I'd watch it with caution. Other than that they should give the crowd funders their refund or try again.

Vernon Wells: We are a society - especially the female part of it - we are a society that likes to look at things like that. At muscles. It was like: "oh, look at those muscles".
