Time to fish out that Planet Hollywood sweatshirt from the back of the closet, pull on the leg warmers and wriggle into those fingerless gloves. The ‘80s are back. Or, more specifically, in a trend that may raise your hair to teased heights of yesteryear, three vintage ‘80s action heroes are kicking down the doors of multiplexes this winter.

Can nostalgia and testosterone coexist? A look at the upcoming wisecracking, explosive adventures starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis.

Bruce Willis, 57

The movie: “A Good Day to Die Hard” (opens Feb. 14).

Saving the world from: Russki no-goodniks.

Last time in the saddle: Schooled Joseph Gordon-Levitt on life, love and vengeance in the bloody, trippy sci-fi mind-bender “Looper” last fall.

Obligatory AARP-endorsed reference to aging: Riding up an elevator with Jai Courtney, playing Jack McClane, son to Willis’ John, a Muzak version of “Ode to Joy” tinkles in the background while father and son lock and load. “I guess you’ve done this before?” a passenger asks. Jack: “Don’t encourage him.”

Return to action: The fifth entry in the “Die Hard” franchise sends McClane to Moscow with a story that incorporates elements from a host of film formulas – the fish out of water, the buddy movie, the estranged father-and-son, apple-never-falls-far-from-the-tree routine. “It’s a little bit of a callback to the culture shock John McClane felt in the first movie as a New York cop in L.A.,” producer Wyck Godfrey says. “Only now he’s older, even more set in his ways, and in Russia. That’s a problem.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger, 65

The movie: “The Last Stand” (opened Jan. 18).

Saving society from: Mexican drug cartels.

Last time in the saddle: Aside from cameos in Stallone’s old-dog “Expendables” romps, Ah-nold’s last starring role came in the 2003 pre-Governator franchise sequel “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” an efficient and, at times, exhilarating entry in the series.

Obligatory AARP-endorsed reference to aging: Diner manager: “How are you, Sheriff?” Schwarzenegger: “Old!”

Return to action: Korean director Kim Jee-woon makes his American debut in this tale of a border town sheriff chasing an escaped drug kingpin. He came away impressed with his star. “I have always felt that the best of any industry embodies unique qualities, and Arnold was no exception,” Kim says. “If I were to pick just three of the smartest people I have met during my two years in the United States, Arnold would be one of them.”

Sylvester Stallone, 66

The movie: “Bullet to the Head” (opens Friday).

Saving society from: Coldblooded condo builders.

Last time in the saddle: Stallone starred in the two fossil-fueled “Expendables” blow-’em-ups, co-writing both and directing the first. A third is in the works … with Jackie Chan!

Obligatory AARP-endorsed reference to aging: Stallone and partner sit in a car while Foreigner’s “Hot Blooded” plays on the stereo. Partner: “You mind if we listen to something from this century?” Stallone: Stony silence. (Perhaps a single tear rolls down cheek afterward?)

Return to action: “It’s a retro movie, a homage to the action films of the 1980s,” says writer-director Walter Hill, who, as the man behind the “48 HRS.” films, knows a thing or two about the particular subset of this genre. “People call them buddy movies, but, to me, that doesn’t work. They’re partners forced together. They don’t like each other. They’re anti-buddy movies, really.”
