Action Jackson could be a comic black hero,nothing in the movie is real,glass blast,cars climbing the stairs,big explosions, whenever they do are overblown,Vanity and Sharon stone in hot and breathtaking scenes are gorgeous in they best shape than ever,even the characters in small roles is funny with a lot of gags,actually the picture is pure entertainment and action that certainly you do not be sorry to watch!!!but Don't wait a serious movie!! Resume: First watch: 1990 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 6.5
... View MoreI'm sorry but this is a complete disaster from cool to laughable and made me quit watching the film because of Reanu's crappy writing of killing Sharon off of the film, what a dick. I first thought that Sharon would be the main villain but no it was The Incredible's Craig T. Nelson as the main villain, in which he frames Jackson (Carl Weathers) by Nelson killing his wife (played by Sharon Stone. This was something that got me interested when I was 7 or 8, until now, it was just so horrible, I'm taking this quote from Frank Yablans on the Electric Boogaloo: The Wild untold story of Cannon Films documentary how to describe "Action Jackson". "It was dry as a Saharan desert, it was awful". I liked Lorimar for Full House TV series, but this is just awful for giving us nothing but junk. What a piece of crap that it should've been owned by Sony not WB, and really, why did the DVD and Blu-ray covers of this film has Sharon stone in the background, she is killed early in the film, you dicks at Warner Brothers, you should've put Craig T Nelson in it. What such a dumb f**k
... View MoreDumb but fun '80s actioner with a rare starring role for Carl Weathers. He plays the title character, a tough Detroit cop obsessed with bringing down wealthy psychopath Craig T. Nelson. Weathers is great, with lots of cool one-liners and macho swagger to spare. For his part, villainous Nelson is appropriately evil and gets to bed young Sharon Stone and Vanity, officially making him the king of all studs. Speaking of Sharon and Vanity, they both appear naked in this, which is reason enough to recommend it. Also features support from Bill Duke, Robert Davi, and Biff from the Back to the Future movies. If you're a fan of '80s action movies, cheese and all, you'll surely like this one.
... View MoreOne thing is certain. Carl Weathers did not age one bit from all those Rocky films, and he looked as good as ever in this action film that features a really bad guy that got what was due to him. Craig T. Nelson was evil, evil, evil.Of course, Sharon Stone was hot, hot, hot in a pre Basic Instinct film. I would even guess that she might have had some work done in the intervening four years, but I could be wrong. Maybe I'll have to go back and stare some more.Vanity (Wasn't she with Prince at one time?) didn't need any work, and I thought she was unfairly criticized for her performance. Her singing was great and she really wasn't that bad an actress.Well, it wasn't a wasted 90 minutes, but look for it on cable.
