One of the Best '80s Action Flicks! (by dgordon-1) |
When I saw this movie back in 1988, I thought then & think now that it was one of the most action packed movies for this genre. Carl Weathers plays a likable cop that goes after an unscrupulous high-end car manufacturer. All of the characters, Vanity, Craig T. Nelson & Sharon Stone round out the cast nicely to make an enjoyable, action packed viewing experience for the 1h30m that it's on. It wasn't mean't to be an academy award winner, but it set out to do what it was intended to do, and that's to be an action packed movie from start to finish. If you can appreciate <more> |
If action had a name it would be ACTION.... Jackson! (by drunk-2) |
Some say he didn't even have a mother and he was created by NASA to be the first man to walk on the moon without a space suit, others say his mother was molested by a Yeti and he was their mutant offspring... Well their all wrong he's actually just the most bad ass cop in all of Mo-Town. And he's out to kick some serious posterior on Martial Arts, Gang Lord Craig T. Nelson ABC's Coach and his gang of Euro- Trash 80's Super Assigns. Carl Weathers is "Action" Jackson the Cop so bad the that he can beat the living cheese out of the crooks so badly that their <more> |
Action Jackson (by Scarecrow-88) |
Absolutely ludicrous, implausible, and outrageously unrealistic action film: and it's a hell of a lot of fun! Carl Weathers finally had his chance to be the lead star of an action film, as a Detroit cop of a distinguished reputation. Problem is he just can't seem to stay out of trouble. Craig T Nelson is a wealthy businessman involved in killing union members of AWA this isn't exactly a crackerjack plot rife with politics worthy of any intellectual investment and Weathers' Action Jackson was responsible for his son's imprisonment. A demotion due to a backlash regarding <more> |
Carl Weathers Headlines Fast-Paced Action Thriller (by hypestyle) |
"Action Jackson" is an action movie starring Carl Weathers.

He was also a co-lead in the Arnold Schwarzenegger action film "Predator", leading into Weathers' first solo headlining feature.Weathers plays <more> |
A real 80's 'Action' classic. Full of non stop action, one liner's and fun characters. This film holds up wonderfully... (by bcbell79) |
Okay, I was born in 1979, I grew up on 80's Action films. I love action films with all my heart, and 80's Action films are some of the best. However, in this day and age, many of these once amazing action movies are...well, not so amazing. And often times just plain hard to watch. Now, it's 2011 and I am home from work sick. I want to watch something fun, hoping it will distract me from my sickness. I fire up Netfilx's Instant Stream knowing exactly what I am going to watch...Action Jackson. Written by Robert Reneau Demolition Man, another favorite of mine , and directed by <more> |
What more could you ask for in an action movie (by cbennett-7) |
All right...it isn't the best dialog ever. Maybe not the *greatest* acting ever, but not that bad. Let's face it, you don't watch an action movie for one of those "plots" or good "dialog" or any of that other fancy, schmancy artsy stuff.What this movie does have is a decent, very predictable story-line. A pretty good action hero Carl Weathers , a babe Vanity and the evil villian Craig Nelson . What more do you want? |
Great 80s Fun (by reverendtom) |
Okay, now what isn't there to like about a movie that stars Carl Weathers, Craig T. Nelson, a young Sharon Stone scrumptious , Bill Duke, Vanity good googly moogly and tons of other recognizable 80s actors? Nothing! This movie rules. In the words of my roommate, "you come for Carl Weathers and you stay for Craig T Nelson." Carl Weathers is great as straight ahead copper Action Jackson, but Craig T Nelson steals the show here as the evil Mr. Delaplane. He is such a twisted jerk that being the richest man in Detroit and having a young Sharon Stone as his wife isn't enough, <more> |
Awesome under rated 80's action classic! (by dworldeater) |
Action Jackson is an overlooked action classic that lives up to its name. As awesome as 80's cinema was, black action heroes were scarce. The blaxsploitation era has gone and stars like Wesley Snipes and Denzel Washington have not made their mark yet. To fill that void, enter Carl Weathers to deliver a tough, cool performance as Detroit supercop Jericho "Action" Jackson. Opposite Carl Weathers is Craig T Nelson as auto tycoon Peter Dellaplane, who brings his A game here as an excellent villain. This is the directorial debut of Craig R Baxley who worked as action/stunt director <more> |
LOVED Vanity in this...A Beautiful Lady...R.I.P. (by RocketeerFlyer) |
I've just read about Vanity's death a few days ago aged only 57.So sad to discover this news.She was never a BIG STAR Actress but it's amazing how many actresses like her had an effect on us kids of the 1980's.I first became aware of her in "The Last Dragon" not a bad film but not really great either but she clearly stood out.She really only made 3 films of note the above one "52 Pick Up" which for obvious reasons had VHS Tapes being worn out in the late 80's, check it out, it has a GREAT cast and I have always been a fan Roy Scheider's but this <more> |
