Excerpt:
5. COLLISION COURSE (1989): Remember when Jay Leno
was still a good guy? Check out his cop/buddy flick co-starring Pat
"Mr. Miyagi" Morita. Fave line: "You see in this neighborhood they
don't call the police, they just yell 'Turn that sh-- off'."
4. RED DAWN (2010): Technically not an
'80s movie, but a remake of the classic 1984 movie. It's reportedly
shot all over Detroit and surrounding cities.
3. ACTION JACKSON (1988):

psychopath! If I had family problems like that, I'd have myself
neutered."
2. ROBOCOP (1987): Most of the film
was actually filmed in Dallas. Only the flyovers are in Detroit. Fave
line: "Old Detroit has a cancer. That cancer is crime."
1. BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984):
Was there any doubt what movie was No. 1 on the list? Still waiting for
