Some of you may picture the 80s like I remember most of the 70s, an elusive collection of years that passed prior to my birth. As such many people think the Bourne Identity was first translated from book to film with Matt Damon as the titular character. Turns out Richard Chamberlain (Three Musketeers, King Solomon's Mines) first played the amnesiatic agent in a 1988 made-for-TV movie. It was decent; three hours, but decent. In retrospect the fashions look horrible, but the drama is certainly exciting. Jaclyn Smith (Charlie's Angels, 1976-1981)

I would expect the movie to be rated at least PG-13. Not because of the shag rug Chamberlain has on his chest, but because of other scenes. The action is 80s television campy, but that isn't what requires the suspension of disbelief. The sheer volume of abuse Chamberlain's character absorbs would be enough to kill ten normal men. Somehow he not only survives but dispatches a score of opponents throughout the course of the drama.

Should you see it? Only if you remember the 80s.
