Just finished binging season 2 of the Night Agent on NetFlix. Great spy thriller. Definitely worth the time.

Busy week... Sudden Death, Marked for Death, Lionheart, Cobra, Hunt For Red October in the books..

Current 80’s/90’s action power ranking of ones I’ve just recently watched/rewatched

The Fugitive - Harrison made up for Blade Runner but Tommy stole the show
Cliffhanger - Great ensemble. Great opener
Out For Justice - Anybody seen Richie!? Awful Seagal accent made it so much better
Hard To kill - Blood bank baby!
Predator - Machine guns and vulgar jokes
Passenger 57 - Always bet on black
Bloodsport - Splits? Yes
Toy solders - Lou Gosset and Sean Astin A+
Sudden Death - Some serious hockey content here. Poor mascot
Hunt for Red October - A more serious movie. But kinda see why Baldwin only got one crack at Jack Ryan
Marked for Death - Seagal + Jamaican sorcerers? ok
Lionheart - Oh you mean "Bloodsport 2 - Streets of LA"? I'll watch
The Running Man - fun, dumb. Richard Dawson = WOW!
Blade Runner - Didn’t hit for me
Cobra - Man I love Sly, but can understand why there was never a "Cobra 2"

Commando and Above the Law on deck..

Tommy was in a sequel to The Fugitive, US Marshalls, that I remember as good, but I saw it a long time ago, and I'm an easy grader. But I can confidently say it exists.

Tommy played football at Harvard and his roommate was Al Gore.
