 Wow, finally a movie that showcases the acting brilliance of Carl Weathers! Thats right, Mr. "Apollo Creed" himself. In this movie, he plays maverick cop "Action" Jackson, obviously to cover up his inadequate first name... Jericho. He goes after evil auto tycoon, Craig T. Nelson. That's right, TV's "Coach", with a greasy gray dye job that makes him look like an evil wizard. Throughout the movie, his motives are never explained, something about a lust for power...yes that's right, not drugs,guns, or money. No, not evil enough, it's his "lust for Power!" Mwuhahahaha! Highlights: * the fainting thug (everytime he sees Action Jackson, which happens about 327 times, he faints girlishly) * Sharon Stone (woof) * the part where Jackson, obviously an Olympic gymnast, does a twenty foot flip over a speeding cab and lands on his feet. * That captain that's in every cop movie, you know the one that goes,"Dammit Jackson, you pull a stunt like that again and I'll eat your badge for breakfast!" * The fact that not 1, not 2, but three actors from Predator are in this movie (Appollo, the bald black guy who plays the captain, and the crazy indian soldier who in this movie plays a crazy indian drug dealer, or should I say Native American drug dealer...?) * Carl's incredible preacher scene. * Hearing the words "Action Jackson" approx. 1,217 times. * Wondering if he's any relation to Jesse Jackson ("Here's your rainbow coalition!" BOOM) You may read another review, submit your own, or return home. |
