"Action Jackson" is a competently standard showcase for Carl Weathers' superhero cool

7/10

"Action is a proud man, a high-school track star, a dedicated cop, a sergeant who lost his lieutenant's stripes almost two years ago… He jostles a conceited, two-faced, backstabbing mass murderer called Peter Dellaplane (Craig T. Nelson). Director Craig R. Baxley has not only carried it off, but makes you believe it… One must also give some of the credit to Carl Weathers whose erect muscular body and his charm and good looks give some credence to the heroics… The picture contains fun, lots of action, and two sexy women… Vanity looked so gorgeous when she was shot up with heroin… St..."

💡 Did You Know?

Carl Weathers came up with the idea for the film on the set of Predator (1987), during conversations with producer Joel Silver about their shared love of 1970s blaxploitation films. The title was born after Weathers spoke to an Australian crew member about the project. To indicate his interest in working on the film, the crew member said, "I'm in like Action Jackson." Predator costars Bill Duke and Sonny Landham also appear in this film.
