    Well done but with some unfortunate typos

    Lots of interviews make a fun look back at action heroes and movies of the 80s and early 90s BUT there are some really weird typos in places (wrong dates and directors names for example) that make you scratch your head that they could have been missed. But overall it's a solid retrospective and worth watching if you like that era of movies.
