Lethal Weapon
Lethal Weapon (1987)
RT Audience Score: 86%
Awards & Nominations: NA
The most successful installment in a phenomenally successful series, Lethal Weapon helped redefine action movies for the 1980s and 1990s
Lethal Weapon is the ultimate buddy cop movie that combines drama, comedy, and action all in one. While some critics may argue that the plot is slow or implausible, let’s be real, we’re not watching this movie for the logic. We’re here for the iconic duo of Riggs and Murtaugh, played brilliantly by Gibson and Glover, and the over-the-top, ridiculous action sequences that make us want to jump off a building with a fire hose tied around our waist. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the ride. Yippee-ki-yay, movie lovers!

Mannequin
Mannequin (1987)
RT Audience Score: 55%
Awards & Nominations: Nominated for 1 Oscar
5 wins & 4 nominations total
Mannequin, a film about a mannequin that comes to life, is as lifeless as the plastic figures it features. Critics have described it as “dead,” “stiff,” and “pallid,” with one even calling it a “load of old cobblers.” The film’s director, Michael Gottlieb, displays all the deftness of Godzilla in his handling of the light comedy, reducing the talented cast to broad caricatures. While the lead performers are affable, it’s the material that sinks them. In short, Mannequin is a film about, by, and for dummies.
Mannequin is a movie that’s so bad, it’s almost impressive. It’s like the filmmakers set out to make a movie that was as lifeless and dull as possible, and they succeeded with flying colors. The only thing that’s remotely interesting about this movie is how terrible it is. If you’re looking for a good laugh, Mannequin might be worth checking out, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Plot
Down-on-his-luck artist Jonathan Switcher bounces from one dead-end job to another, never managing to hold onto any of them. But everything changes when he builds a mannequin, which he falls in love with. It is the first thing he has made that makes him feel like a real artist. Much to his surprise, Jonathan discovers the mannequin prominently displayed in the window of Prince and Company department store. When he saves the life of an old lady who happens to be the owner of that store, he is rewarded by getting a job at the store as a stock boy. The mannequin later comes to life as Ema “Emmy” Hesire, who was an ancient Egyptian princess living in the year 2514 BC. Gorgeous and vivacious, this femme fatale helps Jonathan turn his career around, inspiring him to become the best window dresser in town. But Emmy soon discovers that the real world is not very dear, when they run into competitors who want to bring them out of business – for good.

Kim Cattrall is described as “impossibly charming” in her role as Emmy, the mannequin who comes to life in Mannequin.

Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987)
RT Audience Score: 89%
Awards & Nominations: 5 nominations
Evil Dead 2’s increased special effects and slapstick-gore makes it as good — if not better — than the original.
Evil Dead 2 is the perfect movie for those who love a good scare, but also want to laugh until they cry. With its over-the-top gore and Bruce Campbell’s iconic performance, it’s no wonder this film has become a cult classic. And let’s not forget about Sam Raimi’s inventive directing, which keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. Sure, the acting may not be Oscar-worthy, but who needs that when you have chainsaws and decapitated heads flying around? If you’re in the mood for a horror-comedy that’s equal parts terrifying and hilarious, Evil Dead 2 is the way to go.
