Road House Ends The Trend Of Bad '80s Action Remakes Red Dawn and Robocop’s Pointless Remakes Are A Distant Memory Close Until 2024's Road House, earlier remakes of ‘80s action movies had mostly been terrible.

The ‘80s were a singular decade and what seemed serious then is unavoidably laughable now.
