Best 80’s Action Movie Tournament: Round 3

Wow, last round was another batch of major blowouts, with every winner utterly dominating its competition. By far the most one-sided matchup was The Terminator vs. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (a staggering 73 to 7).

Terminator ended up the only Schwarzenegger flick to succeed, though, as Predator lost to Aliens (31 to 49), Commando lost to Big Trouble in Little China (28 to 50), and Conan the Barbarian lost to Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (16 to 58).

We must also bid farewell to Batman and They Live, which lost to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (19 to 58) and Die Hard (15 to 65), respectively.

And with First Blood defeating Return of the Jedi (54 to 19), and Raiders of the Lost Ark beating The Empire Strikes Back (62 to 18), the Star Wars series has been completely eliminated from the tournament.

And in our Runner Up Contest, Superman II handily beat Conan the Destroyer (43 to 13), with Bloodsport‘s win over The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension only slightly narrower (42 to 24).

The means the Runner Up Finals will be this round, and in the main tournament, you’ll vote to see which films advance to the big Semi-Finals!
