Rifftrax has R.O.T.O.R. and Hawk the Slayer, which were mentioned here. MST3K did American Ninja.
My favorite 1980's movie.

I've always found it kinda perplexing that Extreme Prejudice isn't more popular. It's got what is probably the most impressive pedigree of any 80's action movie. It's directed by Walter Hill from a story written by John Milius at a time when both were at the top of their respective games. The guys who adapted the story to a screenplay had been involved with movies like The Deer Hunter, Silent Running, Red Heat, and Bullitt. The protagonist of the film was Nick Nolte right before he decided that he wanted to be a "serious" actor and made the switch to boring shit like Ulee's Gold and The Prince of Tides. The protagonist was up against a double-pronged attack from Powers Boothe and Michael Ironsides. The supporting cast was a veritable who's who of 80's action movies. The aforementioned Maria Conchita Alonso, Clancy "Kurgan" Brown, Rip Torn, William Forsythe, Larry B. "gay black guy from Revenge of the Nerds" Scott, Tiny Tommy Lister, Mickey "fat thug from Roadhouse" Jones. The story is at worst good and interesting. The action sequences are well thought out and well directed. But in spite of all this, the movie seems to be all but forgotten. Perhaps it's because it was released in a time when the only action movies that seemed to have any staying power needed someone like a Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Norris, or Van Damme. I honestly don't know. It's a fun movie to watch. |

I don't know either, but I suspect it's because it was ahead of its time, and doesn't fit the profile of "feelgood 80s cheesy action dramedy". |

Even Ralphie dumped the Red Ryder for wheels and an engine. 
I don't recall it being nearly this corny, but I haven't seen it since I was 10, so I'm sure my tastes have changed a little by now.

My contribution is Critters
 I did want to ask though, does anyone remember a movie (maybe tv movie) that was supposed to be a sequel to a Christmas Story? I'm pretty sure the original actors weren't in this one, but I seem to remember the premise was the family was taking some summer vacation and kept driving through some old back country dirt roads...taking forever to get where they were going. I think they stopped along the way for various roadside shops selling complete junk. Anyone know the name? |

I actually worked on this one and have a credit as "Motorcycle Wrangler". It was right before Gary hit his head and got all bizarre, he was a really nice guy and I got to know his kid Jake real well.
"Eye of the Tiger", Yep the Rocky theme song. The producers were the Scottie Bros who owned the rights to the song and were counting on people just going to see it because they knew the song. Trailer
