I'm still waiting for you to do Fast Forward and awesomely bad dance movie from 1985. Keep rolling these out. I look forward to your uploads!
Growing up, we had several video rental stores in town. BTB House of Video was the only place that had a VHS copy of this flick. The super nice manager lady (who always gave me posters) told me I was one of the very few to rent it repeatedly.
Oh yes, the good rental employees. There was a video rental right next to where I lived, just around the corner, and since the owner already knew my parents, he would let me pick violent action movies like Terminator and First Blood. As you expected, that video store is no more...
Those were the days. Being a 90s teenager was awesome. Me and my friends used to hire movies every friday after school. Our local video store had seven weeklys for five bucks!!!! We used to hire movies like this, The Exterminator, Silent Night Deadly Night etc. Good times.
Rip Carl. Fabulous movie, he's awesome in my favorite film, predator, and he's a scene stealer in arrested development. Thank you for the memories, good sir!
Yeah Carl, needs more respect. I've not watched anything he has done and not been impressed. He should have been, well the black Arnold, at the very least. In my mind though Carl is actually the better actor. He could be serious without being super cheesy if that makes an kind of sense.
I really, really enjoy this movie. A great encapsulation of the amazing stuff the '80s had in abundance. And, honestly, I think Carl Weathers is a criminally underappreciated actor.
@@brandonpage7087 I think the movie is called Traxx. I looked up Robert Davi's filmography and I think Traxx is the movie because it also features Willard Pugh, who is the guy in the bandana watching him as he farts in the car.
Never mind the Predator re-union, how many Die hard cast members are in this lol Robert Davi, Mary Ellen trainor, Dennis Hayden, Al Leong and Devereaux white
One of the major positives that THE MANDALORIAN gave us was reminding and reintroducing the world to Carl Weathers, an awesome yet underused actor who I hope we see more of in the near future. Thanks so much for this review!
I was so disappointed in the 90s when he got comedy roles like in Happy Gilmore. Hollywood has been so unfair to him. He faded into anonymity until The Mandalorian.
That was great! I love Action Jackson. Not many mainstream action movies of the 80s had a black male lead. And it was good to see Weathers survive after getting wasted in 2 80's blockbusters Rocky 4 and Preadator!
“That Ferrari is built like a tank!” Because it’s a Pontiac Fiero...with a body kit. Makes me wonder: what sort of person shows up at a black tie dinner in a fake Ferrari (a Fauxrrari , if you will)?
I do it all the time in my fake Lambo (Trovare). Of course, it’s in the shop. So I’m just chilling in this Mexican restaurant run by a nice couple. Might order the Tijuana Torpedo.
@@Activated_Complex I always wanted a 70s Brazilian kit car. But tough regulations here in Australia make them hard to import and compliance costs are high.
Stephen Bush A secret VanDamme cameo would have been a great nod to Predator. Since JCVD was going to be The Predator, when they were going to use CGI, and not a suit. Until he quit when he found out his face, even cgi modified, was never going to be on screen.
Loved this film as a kid, still do. Gave me the best villains I can think of for an action movie. Incidentally I heard Craig T Nelson does have a background in taekwondo and in the movie the Osterman Weekend he plays a martial artist too. If anything this movie has great fight scenes especially the end where you get a mixture of boxing versus martial arts - although it also has other surprises thrown in it.
During the era of the vhs, my friends and I would pause/frame by frame the scene where Delaplane gets shot. Then we'd try to explain would kind of bullet would do that to a chest, then we realized that it must have been Jackson's own aura of badassness that fueled the bullet to rail gun velocity. So in essence, Jackson made the bullet go Super Saiyan. Seems legit.
I gotta thank you again for this video. This was on my Best Of 88 films in my school paper's new movie review column that year. (Trivia: I created the review column as a junior and, when I was supposed to move over to yearbook duties senior year, they let me stay with my column for that grade. I had dreams of replacing Siskel or Ebert when they left the air.) Craig R. Baxley is an action movie genius. I Come In Peace is another one of my favorites.
Wonderful video once again. Always thought it was ultra violent as a kid but as an adult it's a solid action flick. Thanks for putting this back on the radar, keep up the great work!
One of my favourite 80s movies, and a shame it didn't do better at the box office as this could have been the start of a great franchise for Carl Weathers. Great work as always, Cecil.
I don't recognize any of the scenes, so I don't think I've ever watched this one, but you did a good job of making it look like a mixture of everything that made 80's action films great.
My favorite GoodBadFlicks episode in a long time. I love your 80's action movie reviews. You are hilarious and a great narrator. You are hands down my favorite critic. 1:57 "I hope it's not this guy" LOL.
I adore this channel, because so often it covers movies I long thought only *I* loved or even knew about. Every week my brother and I rented "10 for $10" VHS movies and discovered some amazing (and terrible!) stuff; films that have *huge* nostalgia for me that almost nobody else seems to have heard of. So many of those not only turn up on this channel, but are loved by someone other than me! Also, my favorite genre is post apocalypse and "space slasher" movies... and this channel is a goldmine for those! How many other people review things like Stryker?! :) Finally... you have awesome taste. The movies covered here that I've never seen I promptly look up and I've loved almost every one I've subsequently watched. Because - unlike all the other straight-to-video stuff - Full Moon didn't seem to release in Australia, you actually introduced me to their library (even though I'd seen stuff like Trancers, etc.) for which I'm extra grateful (I'm about halfway through their catalog now, I think)! :)
Fun fact for you Cecil; After this film, Baxley and Silver were supposed to do an action sci-fi buddy comedy titled Man To Man, which would have been about repo man who picks up alien who's hitchhiking in Nevada desert and two of them then go on a search for his spaceship. It was written by writer of Tango & Cash and Baxley, and originally Schwarzenegger was going to star in it but then they went with Dolph Lundgren. But despite spending few million on pre-production and everything already set to start filming in Las Vegas, Silver and Baxley got into some arguments which lead to film being cancelled.
Vanity and Sharon Stone were unbelievably gorgeous in this film!! And Jackson was definitely jacked 9:45 lol. The movie poster 12:56 is one of my favorites of all time. Simple, dangerous and sophisticated. Love it!!
2:53 "I don't get it Homer.... I mean Jackson. You're a millionaire and you've got all the babes you want. Why aren't you living it up in your palace in Europe?"
HEY!!! That movie @5:22, what movie was that? I remember it, seen it loooooooooooooooooooong ago but cant recall now. Robert Davi has waaaaay too many movies to go through on IMDB.
Sir, thank you for doing this review! I LOVED this movie! I haven't seen it in years, but I am certain I am going to have to get the blu-ray now. Sorry for all the comments! Just love the work you do and sometimes I just can't help but comment as I watch the videos! :) EDIT: I just wanted to add that I'm going to watch your Creepozoids review now! ;) Sometimes I just can't get enough GBF, sir! It sometimes brings me down when a new video ends so I end up watching a few older ones to help maintain that "Good Bad Flicks High". It's like I'm watching movies with my friends. I hope you have a long and fruitful career entertaining us all! :)

I love "The Osterman Weekend". It's Sam Peckinpah's swansong film. Wasn't a hit, but with the advent of reality TV and surveillance, it's fucking brilliant. RIP Rutger Hauer and John Hurt.
The Invisible Men look like a crossover rock/R&B group from 1989, who would have one track called Hurts 2 Much 2 Love You become a moderate hit on MTV thanks the video featuring some Italian adult film actress in sheer lingerie. Some good one-liners from Weathers, here. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid, so mainly I remember that it was on the middle of the day and Sharon Stone was appropriately hot in that sauna.
(13:39) I remember in the I Come in Peace review you mentioned that they could NEVER do what they did with those explosions in today's movies. They were SPECTACULAR. CGI has a hard time beating a real honest to goodness pyrotechnic explosion the size of the ones they did. ;)
What movie was the clip at 2:04 from? I thought that I saw all of Pacino's movies, but that one is new to me. Tried googling and IMDB but too many results for google and i didnt see much overlap for (what looks like Jim Brown) and Pacino in a movie other than Any Given Sunday which was from 1999...
Dude the Cruising scene sent me down a rabbit hole where I wound up discovering a flick you might be interested in. Surprised you never mentioned it but 'Brotherhood of Justice'(1986) Keanu Reeves and Billy Zane in the same movie. New to me.
I *loved* this movie as a teenager. Discovered in on VHS and always told anyone about it I could, since it was pretty much unknown (especially here in Australia). I love how it also feels like a "best of" for so many 80's actors, especially Predator and Die Hard actors. Speaking of which, Die Hard may indeed be the perfect action movie, but I'd easily place Action Jackson in my personal top ten, alongside huge classics like The Rock and Cliffhanger. It's just *that good*, IMO. It is indeed a crime that Carl never became a bigger star; he's not just a fun action hero but has decent acting chops too (he's great in his small Mandalorian role, I agree). He at least deserved his own action movie franchise!

Droopy Johnson Sadly, it will likely take his passing, for Weathers to get the accolades he deserved in life.
@@GoatPopsicle Sad isn't it? He should've been up there with Sly and Annie. Creed should've come out right after Rocky 3 with the real Creed.

11:40 - They say there's two kinds of 80's movies.
The kind that has an Al Leong cameo, and the kind where the Al Leong cameo hasn't been spotted yet.
Ha ha ha class :)
Al Leong is one of my favorite stuntmen/character actors, it's a crime he doesn't have his own "Machete" type film.
And he always gets wasted by the star of the film.
I suspect he's easily got Sean Bean beat for onscreen deaths.
He even has a bit part as one of the rebels in the alleyway shootout sequence in They Live.
Never mind the Predator re-union, how many Die hard cast members are in this lol Robert Davi, Mary Ellen trainor, Dennis Hayden, Al Leong and Devereaux white
I was thinking the SAME thing!
Yes, I immediately caught that myself along with a Lethal Weapon reunion with Mary Ellen Trainor, Ed O'Ross, Al Leong, and Jack Thibeau.
TBH, Al Leong was pretty much in EVERY bad@ss action movie made in the late 80s - early 90s.

And the Glenn Frey lookalike that gets blown up with the grenade launcher. He was the guy John McClane shot last in Die Hard.

Incredibly underrated 80s action staple. This, Commando and Showdown in Little Tokyo may just be three craziest big budget action movies of the era.

What movie was the clip at 2:04 from? I thought that I saw all of Pacino's movies, but that one is new to me. Tried googling and IMDB but too many results for google and i didnt see much overlap for (what looks like Jim Brown) and Pacino in a movie other than Any Given Sunday which was from 1999...
Dude the Cruising scene sent me down a rabbit hole where I wound up discovering a flick you might be interested in. Surprised you never mentioned it but 'Brotherhood of Justice'(1986) Keanu Reeves and Billy Zane in the same movie. New to me.
I think the best line in the movie is "Hello! I'm Mister ED!"
I cracked up at that line when I first heard it, and I wasn't familiar with the sitcom.
Been waiting on this one for a long time! Thank you bro 😎🍻
I'm so glad you got to Action Jackson
It was Awesome
Dude, I'm glad you put this up!😉
The Invisible Men could learn a thing or two from the Predator.
The new Invisible Man movie in theaters this Spring 2020.
excellent as always, thank you Cecil!🌞
Excellent movie. Great vid mate, cheers.
I *loved* this movie as a teenager. Discovered in on VHS and always told anyone about it I could, since it was pretty much unknown (especially here in Australia). I love how it also feels like a "best of" for so many 80's actors, especially Predator and Die Hard actors.
Speaking of which, Die Hard may indeed be the perfect action movie, but I'd easily place Action Jackson in my personal top ten, alongside huge classics like The Rock and Cliffhanger. It's just *that good*, IMO. It is indeed a crime that Carl never became a bigger star; he's not just a fun action hero but has decent acting chops too (he's great in his small Mandalorian role, I agree). He at least deserved his own action movie franchise!
