Schwarzenegger's RAW DEAL (1986): 40 Years Later, Is This the Arnie Film They Buried?
<p>RAW DEAL (1986) — Schwarzenegger goes undercover. The mob doesn't see it coming. Forty years on, the question is: does it hold up?Matt and Malcolm dig into John Irvin's crime thriller — the one where Arnie trades the jungle and the battlefield for the Chicago mob. Arnold Schwarzenegger as disgraced former FBI man Mark Kaminsky, dragged back in by his old boss Harry Shannon (Darren McGavin) to take down the Patrovita crime family from the inside under the alias Joseph P. Brenner. A cast built for damage: Kathryn Harrold as the sharp and complicated Monique, Sam Wanamaker as mob boss Luigi Patrovita, Paul Shenar as the calculating Rocca, and Robert Davi doing what Robert Davi does — maximum threat, minimum words.We track Kaminsky's dead-end sheriff exile, Shannon's ask and the loyalty debt behind it, the cold construction of a new identity, the slow infiltration, the burn before the detonation, and the quarry scene: Rolling Stones on the soundtrack, Arnie behind the wheel, one of the most purely cathartic moments in his entire filmography. The De Laurentiis production machine, John Irvin's direction, the film's complicated place in the Schwarzenegger catalogue, what it tried to do differently, and the verdict every GTTC has to deliver: What Chedda Rating does Raw Deal earn in 2026?Full Get To The Chedda!

Van Damme's NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER: Villain for a Weekend — Legend for a Lifetime!
<p>No Retreat No Surrender (1986) He had no billing. He had almost no lines. He stole the entire film.Matt and Malcolm dig into Corey Yuen's scrappy, electrifying 1986 martial arts sleeper, one of the great 80s movies you've never given enough credit — and the film that put Jean-Claude Van Damme on the radar a full two years before Bloodsport made him a household name.</p><p><br></p><p>Jason Stillwell's underdog journey, the ghost of Bruce Lee as a spirit mentor, and the Soviet enforcer Ivan: the villain role JCVD was born to play.We track the underdog training arc, the ghost mentorship, the small-town rivalry, and the tournament showdown.

Chuck Norris THE DELTA FORCE (1986) The Cannon Masterpiece Chuck Almost Ruined
<p>Is <strong>The Delta Force</strong> actually Chuck Norris’s best film… or is he the least interesting part of it?</p><p>In this episode of Get To The Chedda!, we break down one of the most bizarre success stories of 80s action cinema. A film that feels like two completely different movies stitched together: part 70s-style disaster thriller, part full-blown Cannon Films spectacle.</p><p>Along the way, we dig into a stacked supporting cast led by Lee Marvin in his final performance, alongside Martin Balsam and the ever-reliable Steve James, who quietly steals the entire film.</p><p>We also put forward Matt's theory: why <strong>Executive Decision</strong> might be The Delta Force done properly, and how the 90s evolved the Cannon blueprint in ways this film never quite managed.</p><p>This is a deep dive into an accidental classic. One that somehow survives tonal whiplash, questionable logic, and yes… a rocket-launching dirt bike.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapters:</strong><br>00:00 - Introducing The Delta Force<br>00:45 - Pivoting from Red Sonja | RIP Chuck Norris<br>02:12 - The 70s Disaster Movie vs. The 80s Action Movie<br>08:50 - Alan Silvestri's Soundtrack (Make it Stop!)<br>10:17 - Production Facts: Lee Marvin, the Budget and Chuck's Deal<br>11:10 - George Kennedy, Shelley Winters and the Hijacking<br>15:01 - Separating the Jewish Passengers: The Film's Most Powerful Scene<br>19:11 - Menahem Golan, the Heat and Shelley Winters<br>22:11 - McCoy Returns<br>27:49 - The Cannon Machine Kicks In<br>29:33 - The Car Chase<br>36:01 - Steve James: 80s Action's Unsung MVP<br>41:02 - McCoy's Shortcut and the Logic of Cannon Films<br>43:19 - Chuck Norris's First Kick (One Hour 48 Minutes In)<br>46:11 - Abdul's End: The Rocket Launchers<br>48:06 - Lee Marvin Storms the Plane<br>51:45 - British Passenger Makes Tea During a Hostage Rescue<br>52:59 - Chuck Norris, the Runway and the Wig<br>55:30 - Pete's Death and Chuck Almost Cries<br>57:37 - The 4th Wall Breaking Smiling Extra, the Ending and the Music<br>01:00:11 - Final Verdict: Cannon's Accidental Masterpiece<br>01:05:36 - The Executive Decision Thesis<br>01:10:07 - The Cheddar Meter Score<br>01:13:02 - Next Time: <strong>No Retreat, No Surrender</strong></p><p><strong>Subscribe to Screen One for straight-talking film discussion, deep dives, and proper cinema conversation.</strong></p><p><br></p>
