A list that only Axel Foley would love: Top 5 Detroit films from the '80s

So, what are your top five Detroit movies from the '80s? How about the '90s? How about all time? Let us know on our Facebook or Twitter pages.

Excerpt:

5. COLLISION COURSE (1989): Remember when Jay Leno was still a good guy? Check out his cop/buddy flick co-starring Pat "Mr. Miyagi" Morita. Fave line: "You see in this neighborhood they don't call the police, they just yell 'Turn that sh-- off'."

4. RED DAWN (2010): Technically not an '80s movie, but a remake of the classic 1984 movie. It's reportedly shot all over Detroit and surrounding cities.

3. ACTION JACKSON (1988): I still wish Carl Weathers had made more movies in the '80s. This was supposed to be campy, right? Fave line: "The man's son is a sexual psychopath! If I had family problems like that, I'd have myself neutered."

2. ROBOCOP (1987): Most of the film was actually filmed in Dallas. Only the flyovers are in Detroit. Fave line: "Old Detroit has a cancer. That cancer is crime."

1. BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984): Was there any doubt what movie was No. 1 on the list? Still waiting for my Mumford Phys. Ed. t-shirt to arrive in the mail. Fave line: "Now, my advice to you is crawl back to your little stone in Detroit before you get squashed."
