Vengence drives a tough Detroit cop to stay on the trail of a power hungry auto magnate who's systematically eliminating his competition.
Jericho "Action" Jackson is a Detroit police sergeant who was demoted from lieutenant for almost tearing the arm off of sexually violent sociopath Sean Dellaplane, whose father is Peter Dellaplane, a major car manufacturer. But Dellaplane himself is violent as well. Dellaplane kills his wife Patrice by shooting her. And then he plants her body in Jackson's apartment, framing Jackson. Dellaplane won't miss Patrice very much, because he has a drug-addicted mistress named Sydney Ash. He keeps Sydney hooked with a free supply of heroin. Jackson suspects Dellaplane of masterminding a murder spree against local officials from the auto workers' union. Dellaplane's mission is to gain a political power base and choose the next president of the United States. Because of what happened to Dellaplane's son Sean, Dellaplane has taken a particular dislike to Jackson. Jackson gets Sydney's help in going after Dellaplane.
While it is a pretty standard genre flick in some respects (maverick hero, psychotic and ambitious bad guy, beautiful women, angry boss, lots of explosions, etc.), "Action Jackson" maintains an irresistibly silly, tongue in cheek style. It's often so damn silly that it's hilarious. Just witness our hero's attempts to take down a cab driving goon. It begins with a good "grabber" opening, and continues to deliver enough mayhem to keep the action junkie consistently amused. In his first starring vehicle, Carl Weathers once again shows off effortless charisma and his incredibly chiseled body. He's a natural for a role like this, playing the title character, a detective who's been saddled with a desk job for two years but who gets caught up in the schemes of Peter Dellaplane (a wonderfully hammy Craig T. Nelson), an auto tycoon with political ambitions and a murderous nature. Action Jackson figures that the way to get to Dellaplane is through his women: either his young second wife Patrice (Sharon Stone) or his foxy mistress Sydney (singer / actress Vanity). The film comes up with a couple of one liners, some better than others. "So? He had a spare!" You know it's not meant to be taken seriously when Action Jackson actually drives a car through his quarry's house - and that's just one major example. The clichés are there, too: we have the kind of "Talking Villain" who feels the obligation to tell the good guy his entire evil plan - wrongly assuming, of course, that his nemesis is toast. Craig R. Baxley, a longtime stunt specialist in a career dating back to the early 70s, makes his theatrical directing debut here, and he would follow it up with such other delights as "I Come In Peace" (a.k.a. "Dark Angel") and "Stone Cold". So the movie is naturally full of great stunt work. One awesome aspect to this movie is playing Spot the Familiar Face. And lots of them turn up - Thomas F. Wilson, Bill Duke, Robert Davi, Jack Thibeau, Roger Aaron Brown, Mary Ellen Trainor, Ed O'Ross, Bob Minor, Dennis Hayden, Brian Libby, Al Leong, De'voreaux White, Jim Haynie, Nicholas Worth, Chino 'Fats' Williams, Charles Meshack, Miguel A. Nunez Jr., Branscombe Richmond, and Sonny Landham. Now THAT'S an impressive cast! Add to that a very 80s pop soundtrack (Vanity herself performs two tunes), a score by Herbie Hancock and Michael Kamen, a fairly high body count, and a lively finish, and you've got the ingredients for a damn fine 96 minutes of entertainment. Seven out of 10.
It was not a good movie...but that doesn't matter. OK, fine, it sort of matters now, but, honestly, it came out when I was 8. I saw it when I was 8, mainly because Carl Weathers was Apollo Creed from "Rocky" and one of the guys from "Predator" and I loved both of those movies so...mommy, daddy, let me see it, let me see it... And being the '80s when parents considered "Robocop" a child friendly film, of course I got to see it. And when you are 8 this movie is awesome and "Action Jackson" is a total hero and you are going to wait in line to see Action Jackson 2, and 3, and they never made any more because it wasn't that good to start with. None of that matters. Not when you are 8 and movies like this fit into the "Cop Adventure" mold...and "Action Jackson" fit perfectly into that. So kids like me loved it. And let's be totally honest like "Robocop" it was rated "R" and like so many other films in the '80s it was totally inappropriate for little kids to see--by today's standards--but back then movies like this were made for kids, made to appeal to little boys too. So honestly, it's an 80s kids movie that was made for adults and it sort of was just taken over by kids...falls under "Childhood Classic." And you can't rate movies from your childhood the same way that you do movies you like as an adult. Totally different standard. Kids movies should have kid movie ratings. It's a shame they don't do that anymore.

Due to the BBFC-rules, the UK-video had to be removed of a few short scenes, in which a butterfly knife is shown (only the moments depicting the butterfly knife being pulled out for play were cut), because this weapon is prohibited in Great Britain to this date. The fact that additional, pretty harmless shots of a dead body were cut is not replicable, since other, uncomparably rougher scenes were left in. a5c7b9f00b
