Favorite 80's Movie Montage? (1 Viewer)

SWC asked the question in the Karate Kid thread that no one here has been brave enough to ask yet:  What is your favorite montage from an 80's movie?  

I'm going with Rocky III Beach Training Montage.  Oh sure, there are montages from better movies and this one doesn't use "Oh Yeah" by Yello, but for money, two grown men frolicing in the ocean in slow motion can't be beat (nohomo)

I'd go with the "March of The Swivelheads" montage from that one anyway.

And that'd be my pick for favorite, off the top of my head.  "Best" would be a different question, I suppose, but for favorite?  That's likely my winner.

I liked the Secret of My Success "Oh Yeah" montage over the Ferris one. 

 
I have to admit I googled this and was impressed with the results. 

I always did love the Karate Kid montage, along with the Ghostbusters one.

lol... coming in to post the Rocky IV getting ready to rumble solo in the mountains.

gbs and I went- I think opening weekend- with american flags (and a lot of schmidts) fully expecting a montage... got the USA-USA chant going as soon as it started.

 
breakfast club dance montage is pretty good but it lacks the key element of a great montage scene which is getting something totally impossible done within the confines of a three minute song such as in teen wolf in the final game when michael j fox does not turn in to a wolf and instead they play a really good team as just normal non wolf players and still win all to the sweet sounds of mark safrans win in the end the best part is the complete lack of defense where at one point a guy from the orange team literally stands next to a lardo from the wolf team and just mocks him saying well shoot it fat boy and then just stands there while he does and of course fatty makes it so t is is pretty awesome and that is more of the type of montages that we need in these troubled times take that to the bank bromigos

I agree that KK is probably the "best" 80's montage around (pun fully intended).  It had everything: "Mother Of All Cheesiness"-level soundtrack, dramatic jump cuts followed by slow fade outs(cuz that makes everything seem like it took longer in a montage), headbands, Billy Zabka, karate, stoic looking Pat Morita, etc, etc.

It just wasn't my favorite. 

Bloodsport had a pretty good "flashback" montage too.  Lotta 80's martial arts movies used the "training montage" trope, now that I think of it.

This cannot be overstated.  An 80's montage has to feel like you traveled through gaddam time to be able to do the impossible, to the worst soundtrack you could license while still staying on budget, or it ain't an 80's montage.
