- Drambuie is proposed as an Apex because of the conspicuous quantities at the Double Deuce.
- Marshall Teague's career peak is affirmed despite his continued later work.
- Swayze's Apex is placed later around Ghost, Point Break and Road House's rental growth. Elliott alternatives include Mask and 1883; Terry Funk's is assigned to early-eighties wrestling.
- Movie bouncers and coolers, Jeff Healey, the era of white blues guitarists, and Kelly Lynch around this period receive affirmative support.
- Gazzara is only tentatively considered a belated Apex through recognition; Elliott's pubic-hair suggestion becomes a joke about a future 1883 appearance.
- Throat-rip kills, prison-sex threats and outdoor tai chi are affirmed. Action-star names and mullets are discussed with competing examples rather than a settled unique winner.
- Death-deciding coin tosses are proposed but compared with No Country for Old Men; persevering with a repeatedly damaged car is another suggestion without a clear final endorsement.
- 1989 action movies receive an explicit Apex claim because established stars and a new generation overlap.
