CatBusRuss once again presented a TEDTalk about what might be the greatest year in action movies, 1985. Sylvester Stallone had "Rambo: First Blood - Part II", Arnold Schwarzenegger had "Commando", and the Cannon Group threw everything at them. But as this panel evolves, could Sho Kosugi, Taimak, or perhaps Julius "Sho'nuff" Carry walk out as the king of violence?

It was a smaller audience, but they were more than happy to participate in determining the champion. By the end of his time, Russ got to sell his ideas to a crowd of aspiring cosplayers. They were a crowd that appreciated 1985 cinema in general, and offered up new contenders to the action hero title. That is, if you think Marty McFly, Andrew Clark, and John Bender were action stars.

Our host continues to research this year in action cinema, and this led him to find the second attempt to make Jackie Chan a movie star in America. "The Protector" is essentially "Rush Hour 2". Instead of Chris Tucker accompanying Chan to bring justice to Hong Kong, it was a pre-prime Danny Aiello as comic relief. How does this work out with the most serious Jackie of the 1980s? How serious can it be when you have a showdown between Chan and Big John Studd?
