One of the things that should make movie fans less nostalgic about 1980s aren't "teenage slasher" horrors. The real killers among products of movie industry in that decade were so-called "ramboids", movies inspired by the meteoric success of Stallone's *First Blood Part 2*. That story about lone U.S. Special Forces man that manages to single-handedly destroy entire Vietnamese army was the product of Reagan years and…More
