Considering the death was described as “sudden,” it likely wasn’t due to typical age-related causes.

How Common is AI Misinformation About a Celebrity?

As a big movie and music fan, I’ve been noticing something really unsettling lately. It seems like fake posts and videos claiming things about celebrities are everywhere. I recently read that Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, and even Blake Shelton have all had to speak out because they were being targeted by this kind of misinformation. It’s pretty scary how easily these things can spread!

Following the recent death of musician Jon Dee Graham, his family, like Norris’ family before them, asked fans to disregard false information circulating online.

The Best Action Movie of Every Year of the 1980s

1980: The Blues Brothers

Most people see The Blues Brothers as a musical, and it definitely has plenty of music. But it’s also an unusually action-packed one, featuring exciting car chases that are as good as anything from 80s action movies. What starts as Jake and Elwood’s mission from God quickly turns into a wild ride with the entire Chicago police force chasing their beat-up car, leading to incredible stunts that are still impressive today.

1981: Mad Max 2

Although made with a much smaller budget than Mad Max: Fury Road, The Road Warrior still impresses me with its epic scope. Some of the wide shots of the desert landscape are so vast they almost appear to show the Earth’s curve – an effect achieved with George Miller’s choice of camera lenses. One explosion is so powerful it visibly shakes the camera from a great distance. The Road Warrior feels like a truly massive and, in some ways, final film. While Fury Road is now more popular with many viewers, if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend revisiting The Road Warrior to see where Max and George Miller first unleashed their creative vision.

1982: 48 Hrs.

The 1980s saw a surge in “buddy cop” movies, where unlikely detective pairings – often a tough cop and an unconventional partner, or even a cop and a criminal – teamed up to solve cases and create plenty of on-screen chaos. While films like Midnight Run, Lethal Weapon, and Red Heat became popular, the trend really began with Walter Hill’s 48 Hrs., which brilliantly paired Nick Nolte with the up-and-coming Eddie Murphy from Saturday Night Live. The movie perfectly showcased Murphy’s comedic talent and Hill’s action-packed directing style, and it’s been copied many times since. Whether any film has truly topped it in the 40+ years since is debatable.

1983: Project A

The 1980s were a fantastic time for action movies – arguably the best decade ever. However, 1983 was surprisingly slow for big, explosive films, especially in the United States. Luckily, Jackie Chan was at the peak of his physical abilities in the early 80s, consistently delivering incredible action films throughout the decade, including 1983’s Project A. This historical adventure is packed with some of Chan’s most energetic fight scenes, and features a memorable stunt where he falls from a clocktower, landing safely through a series of awnings – a nod to the daring stunts of silent comedy legend Harold Lloyd.

1984: The Terminator

As a huge sci-fi fan, I always think of The Terminator as a real turning point for action movies. It was also where James Cameron really proved himself as a director. What I find so clever about it is how he built this huge, future war concept, but kept most of the movie grounded in 1984. He didn’t need tons of expensive effects – just a few glimpses of the future were enough! And honestly, casting Arnold Schwarzenegger was genius. His size helped disguise the robotic nature of the Terminator, which also cleverly kept the budget down. It really showed what Cameron could do with a limited budget – big ideas, and the skill to actually make them happen. It was clear even then he was going to do even bigger and bolder things with action movies down the line.

1985: To Live and Die in LA

To Live and Die in L.A. is a truly exceptional police thriller, almost like a gritty, drug-fueled version of Dragnet. William Petersen plays a detective who’s arguably more reckless and disreputable than the criminals he pursues, who are surprisingly careful and meticulous despite their violent tendencies. The film is famous for its incredible car chase, and deservedly so. But it’s more than just visually stunning; it reveals a lot about the characters. While driving the wrong way on a Los Angeles freeway creates fantastic tension, the way director William Friedkin builds to that moment is masterful. Petersen’s character doesn’t stumble into the situation; he deliberately ignores clear warning signs – “DO NOT ENTER” and “WRONG WAY” – because that’s exactly how he operates. He consistently throws himself into danger, always doing the opposite of what’s safe or legal. He’s a man who always takes the wrong path, goes where he shouldn’t, and disregards every warning.

1986: Aliens

According to James Cameron, he originally pitched the idea for an Alien sequel to Fox by simply writing the word “alien” and adding an “s” to make “aliens.” He then stylized the “s” to create “ALIEN$” to emphasize the concept. Fox approved, giving Cameron the opportunity to create what many consider one of the best sequels ever made. While Aliens features significantly more of the creatures than Ridley Scott’s original film, it remains centered on Sigourney Weaver’s character, Ellen Ripley, and explores powerful themes of motherhood and trauma.

1987: RoboCop

Each year, the movie RoboCop feels less like a futuristic fantasy and more like a realistic portrayal of things to come. Sure, the scene with the character turning into a mutant isn’t likely to happen, but beyond that, we’re increasingly living in a world similar to the one depicted in the film – one filled with constant advertising and surrounded by rapidly developing artificial intelligence. It’s a shame our reality isn’t as entertaining as the world Paul Verhoeven created.

1988: Die Hard

Often described as a Western disguised as a police thriller, Die Hard is a landmark action film of the 1980s. When New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) travels to Los Angeles to visit his separated wife, Holly (Bonnie Bedelia), he finds himself the only hope during a hostage situation at her company’s Christmas party. Suddenly thrust into a dangerous predicament, and without even his shoes, McClane becomes an iconic hero – an ordinary man caught in extraordinary circumstances who simply wants to get home, and may need to embrace a heroic spirit to do so. As he famously quips, “Yippie-ki-yay.”

1989: Batman

Tim Burton’s Batman was a game-changer. More than even the original Superman film, it redefined how Hollywood – and the world – viewed superheroes, transforming them from simple children’s entertainment into both a lucrative industry and a respected art form. The movie had a huge impact on popular culture, influencing the direction of superhero films, the visual style of Batman in comics and animation, and even music – thanks to Prince’s contributions and Danny Elfman’s iconic score – and fashion. Despite the limitations of the Batsuit (Michael Keaton couldn’t even turn his head!), it’s a surprisingly exciting action movie, filled with memorable fights, chases, and the incredible Batwing sequence.
