1980s.....

The 80s saw equal opportunities, such as Supergirl [1984] or Ripley becoming stringer in Aliens [1986]. But the heroic male still featured in the film.
The film Three Men and a Baby, show the males to be like heroes because they are taking care of the baby, it also subverts the stereotype of all females being maternal - however the mum does come back to get the baby. But the males are still seen as irresponsible, because at first they cannot take care of the baby, but it changes.
The Rambo series, suggests the female is a princess [PROPP] that has her princess. She is attractive and supports the male in what he does.
