8 R-Rated 80s Action Movies You Won't Believe Exist

Eight R-rated 80s action movies, and every single one has a production story stranger than what's on screen. There's a film that only exists because Cannon had already spent two million dollars on sets for a cancelled Spider-Man movie. A screenwriter who spent three years developing a buddy cop zombie comedy because his brother was busy writing Lethal Weapon. A director who got banned from his own set and never worked with a major studio again. Hell Comes to Frogtown, The Hidden, Dead Heat, Eliminators, Zone Troopers, The Wraith, Cyborg, and Exterminator 2 eight films built from leftover budgets, cancelled deals, and productions that fell apart and got rebuilt on the fly. Real production history, not just clips and trivia.
