I’m currently sat watching Take Me Home Tonight, the Topher Grace starrer set in the 80s and I got to thinking about how much fun I had back then, and then I got to thinking about all the cool movies that were released during my the decade and just how many of them have never seen the light of day since then… So here it is, my Top 10 movies of the 80s that have never made it to DVD (well at least not here in the UK):

The film, a spoof of testosterone-driven Rambo-esque vigilante flicks from the 80′s, follows the violent misadventures of former trigger-happy commando Traxx (Stevens), a man who has given up the blood and guts racket for the culinary arts, in particular the creation and distribution of unusual homemade cookies.

Sound ridiculous? Of course it is. “Traxx” packs more shoot-outs, explosions, cliches, and cheesy one-liners into its slim 88 minutes than the entire Pm Entertainment filmography combined.
