Actually, I'm gonna have to retract that myself; a bit of research turns up that Predator 2 came out in 1990, and I love the hell outta that movie. Not only did it produce one of my favorite "theater audience reaction" moments (which I think I've described before), it possesses a standard of quipsmanship that sets it aside from almost all other '80s/early-'90s action movies (with the arguable exception of the Lethal Weapon films, coincidentally also starring Danny Glover).

That's a border case, though, and it could easily be argued that, as a film that came out in 1990 and a sequel to one that came out in 1987, it's really an '80s movie that didn't quite manage to be in its decade.

The only other counterexamples I can think of off the top of my head are animated movies (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, 1993, and the original Toy Story, 1995).
