The second-generation Pontiac Sunbird, introduced by the automaker for the 1982 model year as the J2000, was built to be an inexpensive and fuel-efficient front-wheel-drive commuter car capable of seating five.

Offensive Clock
Escape From New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, and Tango & Cash.

Truly, Kurt Russell is not appreciated enough when it comes to his 80s action movie star cred. Bruce Willis, for example, only had Die Hard (and, that being the best action movie of all time, is no small "only", to be sure) in the 80s, and I feel like more people think of him as an 80s action star than poor Kurt.

So, let's take a moment to appreciate the fantastic and awesomely campy 80s action (and sci-fi/horror) movies Kurt Russell gave us.

And let's also appreciate how loving awesome all his character names were. I mean, Snake Plissken, R.J. MacReady, Jack Burton, and Gabriel Cash? Checkmate, fags. There ain't no doper names than that.

I don't think he's underappreciated at all most people who are action movie fans hold him in pretty high regard because he had a ton of good movies.

Don't forget Stargate, Tombstone, Executive Decision, uhhhh Escape from LA, Soldier, Backdraft, 3000 Miles to Graceland

He has a soft face with round features that didn't age well. Other 80s action heroes have gaunt, angular faces that carried better into old age.
