In Search of the Last Action Heroes

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.

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.

I was born in 1983 and this was nostalgic.

If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Oliver Harper and everyone else put in to make this happen.

I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is.

Thank you.

I like the classic action films but this doco falls short in some aspects at the start they mention bond and Bruce Lee which felt out of place than later they talk about 90s films speed the matrix I thought this was about the 80s but they mention films like alien which was a sci fi film not action and jaws which isnt a action film I think the director rather than saying it was about the 80s should of said its about the genre as a whole
