Action Jackson (1988) – Carl Weathers – Reel Action

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Hot…hotter….hottest! Take a trip with us back to 1988 here on Reel Action as we dig into Carl Weather's first solo star turn as the inimitable Action Jackson. Produced by genre mainstay Joel Silver, this has all the eighties hallmarks. One-liners, crazy over-the-top action, a massive body count, plus a score by Michael Kamen and Herbie Hancock, an early role for Sharon Stone, the late Prince protege Vanity as the love interest, and Craig T. Nelson – COACH himself – as the karate-kicking bad guy. It's a total blast, so join us as we revisit this action classic.
