Description

From Rocky Balboa running up the steps to Jean-Claude Van Damme kicking his way through Bloodsport, the 80s perfected the art of the training montage. Throw in Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, The Karate Kid, killer soundtracks, sweaty gyms, and the magic of VHS rental stores, and you had an entire generation convinced they could become unstoppable.
