Red Scorpion
“They think they control him. Think again.”
AdventureActionWar
A Soviet commando is sent to eliminate a rebel leader in Africa. Soon he finds himself doubting his mission.
VIBE
A brutal, no-holds-barred 80s action flick. Expect explosive set pieces, a morally conflicted hero, and a healthy dose of Cold War paranoia. It's a straightforward, violent ride with a clear good-vs-evil narrative, perfect for a testosterone-fueled evening.
