In Search of Greatness
19 January 2020
I know the director Oliver Harper through Youtube videos. He does incredible retrospectives. Some of my favorite retrospective by Harper include the Adventures of Superboy (1988) and Flash (1990).

This is a documentary with a format where guys are interviewed and they speak. This reminds me of Dave Rubin, interview style on youtube. It's incredible hearing so many 80's/90's action movie stars, directors, producers, talk about the greatest era in movie making.

There is not one question this documentary attempts to answer....it's an open ended format of questions. Essentially why those movies are so memorable, what is the legacy and where are we now. Many open ended questions about the golden age of action movies, guys movies, ninja movies....buddy cop movies, sci-fi, music synthesizers, practical effects...ect, done in unique format reminiscent of Dave Rubin on youtube and it works for 'In Search of the Last Action Heroes.'

Men, fans of Action Movies and the 80's should watch this. One nit pick and missed opportunity was mentioning TV shows like Knight Rider, A-Team, Air Wolf...and tying those into this documentary.

I will give this an 9 out of 10.
