Contest: ENTER SF&F Avatar Contest: Back in 1986

[Kai "the spy"]

Alright, not only is the long-awaited sequel to a famous 1986 blockbuster (Top Gun, non-SF/F, though), but the new season of Stranger Things just dropped (or at least the first part of it), which is also set in 1986. So, let's do another time-specific contest, the theme is SF/F of 1986. Whether it be movies, TV, video games, comics, that year had a lot to offer.

And, of course, let's remember the rules. Entries may not be bigger than 200x200 pixels and/or 1 Mb data, and must be acceptable for GoogleAds.

Let's have three entries per user. Now, let's bring back some memories and hidden gems.

Damn, I missed Labyrinth & Big Trouble in Little China when I was going through the '86 movies on Wikipedia.
There were a lot of great movies released that year.

So I did some Googling of 1986 SF&F movies, and the only ones that came back that I was really familiar with were Star Trek IV, Aliens, and Labyrinth--all of which have already been entered. So I did some more searching, and found that the 80s Twilight Zone revival ran from 1985 to 1989. So here are entries from three memorable segments that, according to Wikipedia, aired in 1986.

"A Small Talent for War" (January 24, 1986)

"A Matter of Minutes" (January 24, 1986)

"Profile in Silver" (March 7, 1986)

It's the most important election of 1986, and it's time to vote.
