There is just SO MUCH MORE TRASH to this guy, it?s why he ran to Russia to avoid the inevitable consequences of his sexual assaulting behavior

Did you stop reading my post after the first 5 words and miss the entire second half where I said he was a bad person that nobody wanted to work with? I may have put it a bit too lightly, but still.

Yes, perhaps this is more true in films about martial arts than in action films with an emphasis on shootouts, in which Schwarzenegger and Stallone starred. And I'm not sure if Die Hard fits into this trope, because Willis suffers throughout the entire film.

Ah that makes more sense. My taste in 80s action movies tends to be the big guys with big guns type. I do like Jackie Chan, though my experience with him is mostly limited to Police Story and Rush Hour, which may not be the best examples.
