It's Die Hard for me, but Aliens, Predator and Robocop are among the best.

Yeah, its so dumb to think that The Terminator or Die Hard could be the best action movie of the 80s.

Loved movies like Commando and Predator, but I would say Die Hard and The Terminator are 1a and 1b with slight edge to my boy Arnie.

For pure action:

First Blood - all the way; once it gets going (about 10 minutes in) it doesn't let up.

Ohhh you voted Aliens #1 on your MWADS. I can live with that. I said Terminator because its on my MWADS. The Terminator, Die Hard, Aliens are all "correct" answers.

Toss up between Die Hard and Aliens. Predator, Lethal Weapon & First Blood Part 2 not far behind. Haven't seen robocop yet.

No way the OP is serious.

Commando?? Decent flick but the best 80s action movie?

Die Hard by a mile.

I love Commando but it wasn't even the best action movie of 1985.

First Blood Part II takes that spot.

Die Hard, duh Best pure action flick.

Frist Blood has always been more of a thriller to me. Well an action thriller and one of the best.

Predator and Terminator for that sci-fi action.

Raiders is like period piece action lol

No wrong answer with those just different genres.
