I recently decided that I want to put together a whole CD of nothing but cheesy 80s action movie music. Naturally, "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky III and "You're The Best" from Karate Kid sprang to mind. I also thought of "The Touch" from the 80s animated Transformers movie and "Danger Zone" from Top Gun. Does anyone have any suggestions of other songs that would fit my theme? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fist of Doom

Kickboxer "Never Surrender"
Rocky IV "No Easy Way Out"
Bloodsport "Fight to Survive"

Beverley Hills Cop theme song. Every time I hear it, it's in my head all day.

From Ridley Scott's Legend (which I suppose is more fantasy than action, but this song is still 80s as all hell)

The 'Vision Quest' soundtrack was probably bigger than the movie. Songs included Madonna's "Crazy For You", Dio's "Hungry For Heaven" and Journey's "Only The Young".

Iron Eagle, Never Say Die By King Kobra.

Oh man, Iron Eagle. Now that's cheese.

Interesting note, according to Wikipedia

Another gem:

"Restless Heart" - The Running Man

"Rock Until You Drop" is great cheese from the Monster Squad. I think it is by Michael Sembello.

Alvis

I believe "Meet Me Half Way" by Kenny Loggins is also on that soundtrack.
