Never understood why this film didn't do loads better than it did. One of the great buddy cop type films with some great one liners and decent action too.This is a great thread.

Kickboxer was the first action movie I watched as a kid as my uncle was into martial arts. That then got me into it too and soon enough I was kicking dents into furniture to less than amused parents

Bad boys
OP said Sci-fi/action I'm guessing he means and/or rather than 'must be sci-fi AND action'
Soldato
Sci-fi and action:
The Time Bandits
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Moonraker (James Bond)
Fantasy and action:
The Goonies
Indiana Jones (1, 2, 3 only)
Action only:
Any James Bond from 80s and 90s e.g. a View to a Kill and Golden Eye
Also:
Look up Kung Fury on YouTube. A crowd-funded flick with the hallmarks of an 80s action / sci-fi movie. A sequel is coming out this year and Arnie's going to be in it
Edit: there were a few mentions of Mad Max 2. I would also recommend Waterworld, which is basically Mad Max 2 but on water.
