Actually, Jackie Chan tried twice to break into the U.S market in the 80s, both films were disappointments and didn't use him to the best of his abilities. I was a big Jackie Chan fan when he first burst on the North American scene with Rumble in the Bronx. Another thing, or person, that I forgot to mention on that list was Jackie Chan.
I mentioned TMNT, naturally, Terminator and the Power Rangers. I remember, in my review of TMNT: Out of the Shadows review a couple of days ago, going over several of the things that I grew up with as a child.
