Jason,
I would look at the Kung-Fu films of the period.  I can think of numerous
examples  of slo-mo in them.  I'm not sure I agree with your assertion
concerning a lack of slo-mo in eighties cinema.  I've seen more painfully
slow shots of Sly Stallone than I care to remeber.
 
Happy Hunting,
Tim Coleman
