Amazingly Bonkers Trailer for the Explosive Long Lost 1980s Action Film ACTION U.S.A.
For those of you who enjoy watching the crazy action films from the 1980s, I’ve got a treat for you today! An explosive trailer has been released for a long lost 1989 action film Action U.S.A., and it features every utterly bonkers thing that you’d ever want from an 80s action movie!
The film came from stuntman John Stewart, and it was his first time directing a movie. As you’ll see, it’s insanely over-the-top and awesomely outrageous! Also, the stunt work in this movie and the mayhem is super badass!
Action U.S.A. made its debut at this year’s virtual Fantastic Fest, and this is the synopsis:
When you think of the broad panorama of VHS-era action, your mind detonates with fast cars, helicopter chases, profanity, nudity, cocaine-ity, fisticuffs, stolen diamonds, FBI agents, defenestration, shotgun castration, men on fire and Casio soundtracks. But what if we told you there’s one single movie that impossibly squeezes all of the above into 89 minutes, not to mention sunroof gunfights, a car jumping over a school bus packed with screaming children, honkytonk brawlin’, bathroom kissin’, plus exploding cars, houses AND recreational vehicles?
The film stars Gregory Scott Cummins as “a reluctantly heroic FBI agent tasked with keeping safe a witness (Barri Murphy) after the mob murders her boyfriend (Rod Shaft). But the route back to federal headquarters is a non-stop barrage of bullets, blasts, and bodies.”
Action U.S.A. is being reissued by Verdugo Entertainment in partnership with Alamo Drafthouse and Giant Pictures. The movie is currently available to watch exclusively on the Alamo On Demand VOD platform and you can rent it for $9.99. The film will have its theatrical premiere in cinemas across the nation starting November 6th.
