Article Excerpt:

The Smackdown of '86 (with special guests) arrives in just 9 days. Before we get to the main event let's talk about what people were talking about that year in film, television, stage, music, and books... 

Great Big Box Office Hits: Movie stars rather than IP still ruled so the top ten made room for Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy, and Bette Midler vehicles along with just 3 sequels (can you imagine a top ten box office of the year with just 3 sequels nowadays? It's hard to do). Military men and women were also the rage with the marines of Aliens, the airforce bros of Top Gun, and the traumatized foot soldiers of Platoon all extremely popular with moviegoers.

  1. Top Gun (military drama)
  2. Crocodile Dundee (comedy)
  3. Platoon (military drama)
  4. Karate Kid Part II (sequel)
  5. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (sci-fi sequel)...
