Nonstop, big-budget excitement became the standard as epic adventures like \u003ci\u003eRaiders of the Lost Ark\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Road Warrior\u003c\/i\u003e set the tone for the summer blockbusters of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris. Homages (and ripoffs) made with lesser budgets followed every hit, especially with the advent of direct-to-video releases. Providing detailed commentary on 284 films, this book explores the excitement, audacity and sheer weirdness of '80s low budget action cinema, from the \u003ci\u003eAmerican Ninja\u003c\/i\u003e series to dime-a-dozen barbarian pictures to such bargain-basement productions as \u003ci\u003eThe Courier of Death, Kill Squad\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSamurai Cop\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10284912\"\u003eDaniel R.
