My Top Five 80s Movie Intros...
1. Top Gun
Top Gun has one of the best 80âs movie opening scenes. It's got F14 jets taking off, the Top Gun anthem, "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins playing and then straight into the action with Maverick and Goose.
In the film, Charlieâs old man date was the real life "Viper", Pete Pettigrew. He was a Top Gun instructor and retired Navy pilot, and served as the technical consultant on the film.
2. Rocky 4
I always loved the way Rocky 4 started; itâs basically just a re-cap of what happened at the end of 3, but starts with two giant boxing gloves crashing together and then cutting to the recap, and it has "Eye Of The Tiger" playing!
According to Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren and Carl Weathers really did not get along and got into an altercation during filming. Lundgren threw Weathers across the ring before it was broken up (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089927/trivia).
3. Transfomers the movie 1986

A game! AND a race! A real wacky place!The show had a very credible ten year run from 1989 to 1999 but just when you thought that it was doomed to only live on in your childhood memories forever, we're bringing it back in T-Shirt form!
