Description
The Last Action Heroes: The Triumphs, Flops, and Feuds of Hollywood's Kings of Carnage by Nick de Semlyen This behind-the-scenes look at the action heroes of 1980s and 90s Hollywood reveals the untold stories of the colourful characters who ruled the silver screen. From the golden age of the action movie to the dawn of a new era, de Semlyen charts the journey of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, as well as other iconic stars like Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Drawing on candid interviews with the action stars themselves, as well as their collaborators, friends, and foes, The Last Action Heroes is a no-holds-barred account of a period in Hollywood history marked by excess and spectacle. With a wealth of juicy tidbits and fascinating insights, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the golden age of action cinema. Praise for Nick de Semlyen's Wild and Crazy Guys has been widespread, with critics praising the book's pithy and propulsive writing style.
