Description

Let off some steam, Bennett! And let's break down the rise of six action icons who helped define an era of larger-than-life heroes: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Dolph Lundgren, and Michael Dudikoff. From First Blood, The Terminator, and Bloodsport to Invasion U.S.A., The Punisher, and American Ninja, these were the stars who transformed action heroes into modern myths and turned Cannon Films, video stores, and late-night movie marathons into a way of life. It was the age of one-man armies, martial-arts mayhem, and pure VHS action magic. What made these six stand above the rest, and why does their impact still hold up today?
