Argh. Don't even joke about it.
Many of those movies (ENTER THE NINJA, REVENGE OF THE NINJA, MASTER NINJA, NINJA III: THE DOMINATION, NINJA GRAFFITI, PULP NINJA) are available on DVD, but not all on region 2, if that's an issue for you; check eBay.
And yes to any lurkers, I made those last two up.

And if your DVD player doesn't support all regions, you haven't hacked it enough.
LttS: Apparently neon was big in the 80s and carried over and got worse into the nineties. It's been mentioned quite a few times in this thread already.

Don't think I've seen it stated this clearly: it's a 20 year thing. In the 1970s, Happy Days et al was in style. In the 1980s, there was a big 1960s revival; the jetsons made a comeback, Beatles cds started to be released. in the 1990s, the 70s enjoyed a resurgence (70s show, disco was popular again). The past few years, the 80s have been popular to a degree, with the I love the 80s series'. You'll get your Nineties on in 5 years or so.

See... Bad News = 80s.
Do you have the Bad News Album?
Yes, I know that. I'm not saying that there's NOTHING good game out of the 80s. And, yes, I do have the album. There are a lot of really good Bad News videos on YouTube as well.
Quick: Name one band from the 70s that released equal or better music in the 80s. Since this is a matter of opinion then I think you may give me a few examples but chances are I won't agree.

Also, bands from the 70s that released great music in the 80s:
The Clash - "Combat Rock"
The Ramones - "End Of The Century"
Talking Heads - "Remain In Light" (Their best album! How could you overlook this one?)
Motörhead - "Ace Of Spades" & "No Sleep Til Hammersmith" (The best live metal album ever)
Prince - "1999", "Purple Rain", "Parade"
Dead Kennedys - Their entire output was in the 80s, but they formed in 1978.
Husker Du - Same deal as Dead Kennedys. Formed in January 1979, disbanded in 1987.
Throbbing Gristle - "Heathen Earth"
and, reiterating Barend's assertions: GARY NUMAN!
Shall I go on?

As I said, no. Prince was barely in the 70's though I'd agree he did some great stuff in the 80s. I was thinking more along the lines of bands that were strong for a majority of the 70s such as Aerosmith (sucked BIG TIME in the 80s).
This is all off topic, of course. I agree with Spoon and barend's assertions that the we have to be at least 10 years out of the decade before it becomes retro.
