Not the first R rated film to have toys based on it though. šŸ˜‰

LOL, ahh the 80sā€¦ .they had toys based on aliens, terminator, robocopā€¦ HAHA

I canā€™t remember which was the actual firstā€¦ but one of Aliens, Robocop and Predator was the first R rated film I ever saw. I turned 10 in 1986ā€¦ so those movies came at a perfect time for me.

I actually think itā€™s true that they simply donā€™t make action movies like they used toā€¦ that era was simply full of amazing action films that IMO have been rarely (if ever) topped since.

Aliens, Robocop, Predator, Conan the Barbarian, Die Hard, Total Recallā€¦ .even lesser stuff like Commando and Rambo 2 were great in a campy while still being serious kind of way that you donā€™t see much these days.

As I continue to watch Robocop Iā€™m kind of amazed how awesome it isā€¦ like it actually might be one of the best films ever made. I mean how many other films do what they set out to do so damn well?
