Aaaah the late 80s
when:
The fact that a character's name is 'Action' Jackson didn't need to be justified. It just was. We take for granted that Action Jackson is scary and awe-inspiring as peripheral characters tell us so. Ditto the fact that his passion for his job and creative methods have resulted in him being demoted and his wife leaving him The bad guy is identified early. Better still he is already Action Jackson's nemesis. Better still, still. The guy responsible for his demotion and wife leaving him. Unexpected and unnecessary nudity was both expected and necessary. The bad guy has a hot trophy wife (Sharon Stone) and a hot mistress (Vanity). Both of whom are more than willing to take their clothes off for little reason.
Furthermore
Women get out of the shower nude. Guys are wearing jeans. Performing in a club with a totally see through top isn't noticed by anyone in the club – but those of us watching at home It doesn't matter if the hero doesn't actually say something funny or clever, as long as he and the other characters seem to think what he is saying is funny and/or clever. Post-kill quips still need work though, no "Hasta la vista Baby" or "Stick around here" (though "How do you like your ribs" was OK. The answer is apparently 'exploded'.) Dangerous minions can time their hit and run assassination attempts to coincide with the came split second that their target walks through a door, despite traffic and the fact that they are hundreds of yards away with no possible way of knowing that this was the point he was to emerge "I have to catch a cab' means a chase scene, with Jackson not only catching up but giving him a mouthful through the window of his speeding car while still on foot! Leading to big explosions and certain civilian deaths, none of which are mentioned again. People get hit in the face and actually bleed. (Happens less on film nowadays than you think.) Cheesy pop music on the soundtrack is justifiable for the fact that it was the 80s, the spiritual home of cheesy pop music. Every character actor in the film is recognisable from another classic film of the era. In the first 10 minutes I saw minor roles filled with actors from Predator, Beverly Hills Cop, Red Heat, Back to the Future and seemingly half of the cast of Die Hard. We know the big showdown will be a fist fight when we see the Bad Guy training in hand to hand combat. A good body double can make you think that a 60 year old is a karate machine why don't we ever manage to see his face while he pulling off these athletic moves ? Stunt men are plentiful and disposable, and unnecessary CGI is not needed. Movies were 80 minutes long and had a beginning, middle and end.
Final Rating – 6 / 10. None of the above things are bad. Action Jackson is not in the same league as Lethal Weapon, Die Hard and their peers, but it is a solid formula action comedy, which proves that Carl Weathers had genuine on screen likability.

There isn't much to say about this movie. It's so stereo-type 80's it's unreal! Carl Weathers (Rocky, Predator) plays Jericho 'Action' Jackson. Im just gonna leave it there because his name is just too damn awesome! This is full of explosions, fulls of fist fights, full of awful acting and one-liners and amazingly, has a half decent cast of big name 80's action stars like Bill Duke and Sonny Landham (both of whom appeared in Predator with Weathers and Arnold Schwarzenegger), and Robert Davy (Die Hard, Raw Deal, Predator 2). But the story is basically about Jackson, who has been demoted to a desk cop and hates it, and has to keep his old 'Action Jackson' rebellious days behind him if he want's to be promoted again. When he is trailing a sadistic businessman who is murdering all his union competition so he can take the head job, then you know his 'Action Jackson' gun-ho days are going to return to save the day! It really is fun, I recommend it completely.
Carl Weathers gets a chance to be an action hero in this very enjoyable 80's action movie. There are plenty of fist fights, explosions, car crashes, and other action in this one, and I thought Weathers did a good job in this film. The scene when he outruns a cab and rides on the roof of it was kinda dumb but still entertaining. Craig T. Nelson does a good job as the bad guy. There are plenty of familiar faces in this one including Sharon Stone, Bill Duke, Ed O'Ross, Sonny Landham, and many more. In all, a recommended film, not the best action film of the 80's, but still a fun one. 3.5/5
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, he needs to shoot Vanity full of heroin, too. (Side note: Vanity was extremely strung out on crack cocaine at this time, read Motley Crue's book: "The Dirt" for more info.) The action and laughs are nonstop. If you love dumb 80s big budget action, this is a must see. 8/10.
Vanity is unbelievably beautiful, and funny, from beginning to end and from stem to stern.
She is matched by golden-blonde Sharon Stone. Both these gorgeous hotties appear topless! And there are many wonderful actors in small roles, including three of the greatest character-actors of the time: Robert Davi, Ed O'Ross, and Nicholas Worth, the terrifying, rubbery-lipped basso who plays Dellaplane's butler.
The screenplay is totally brain-free, written for stoned teenagers. (In this universe, it's EASY to break a heroin-habit!) But the action is hot, the women are sexy, the music is ultra-hip, and the villains are creepy.
Great fun. Royal fun.

¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaCarl Weathers came up with the idea for the film on the set of Depredador (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.
- ErroresWhen Jackson is on the roof of the taxi, the driver fires his gun through the roof, making several holes. When the taxi crashes a few seconds later, there are no holes.
- Citas
Officer Kornblau: It was a regular fuck-o-rama at my place last night.
Officer Lack: Can the shit, Kornblau. There ain't been any pussy at your pad since your mother helped you move in. They oughta call your place the House of Whacks.
- Versiones alternativasUK cinema and video versions were cut by 9 secs to remove shots of a butterfly knife being twirled and a topless woman's stabbed body, due to the BBFC's strict guidelines on knife violence at that time. The uncut version was finally passed by the BBFC in 2024 with a 15 rating (previous versions carried an 18 rating).
