I went to a convention, was lining up to meet someone. Carl Weathers was seated next to that person and had only the occasional fan come up but he was super nice to every one of them, and inbetween was laughing and joking with the people in my line, and happily taking selfies and shit with people from that line even though they werent there to see him. The guy I lined up for couldnt care less, didnt speak to anyone and didnt even look at me. So no, Carl Weathers isnt an asshole.
I fought with the studio for five days over copyright claims to get this video posted. I had to cut several minutes from it, but hopefully it's still enjoyable for everyone even in its slightly butchered form.
I'm simultaneously amazed how you can look at some random bit-part actor's face and immediately place him in another movie, yet at the same time shocked how you can draw total blanks when seeing the name Robert Davi.
@@JasonBrant All in good fun. I'm so glad I found your channel! I've been bingeing your reviews almost non-stop; they're all so hilarious and well done.
Perfect timing! Right on my lunch break. I remember watching this as a kid all the time because there weren’t any black action stars before Wesley Snipes.
There should be more black action stars imo. My favorite one is Fred Williamson, he went past the "black movies" and made himself a household name. Richard Roundtree is also awesome.
She didn't have her own band. She joined a band of Prince's that was renamed "Vanity 6" after she was recruited to front it. She then quit the band right before "Purple Rain" the movie came out which she was supposed to have the role that went to Prince's next fling, Appalonia. Vanity went on to a solo career after this. She was never part of Prince and the Revolution.
@@eduardopena5893 no she was definitely in the band since it’s inception. Not the revolution but vanity 6. It was gonna be called the hookers and this was when the revolution was gonna be called the rebels and there was even a demo tape for this made with lots of songs that ended up being bsides etc. Raspberry beret was wrote around this time as well. Vanity’s name was gonna be vagina. Prince was just saying fuck it why not then vanity suggested the name vanity and it stuck. And it went from the hookers to vanity 6. 6 for the amount of tits. Fun fact when doves cry is about Susan moonsie from the group. She was the one who’d wear white and was darker than the others. She and prince had a thing going on since they were like 13 and he just dropped her and she cried hysterically and prince was like “hm, amusing, this will be a hit” after that he started doin Wendy’s twin. Which was…interesting. She was supposed to be in under the cherry moon, but was a terrible actress so she was recast.
Action Jackson was amazing, and criminally underrated. Was supposed to have gotten a Sequel, but no good Script was ever written, and it never happened.
10:37 Miguel A. Nunez Jr. also had a part in The Return of the Living Dead. The great thing about stunts in 80's movies was that they had to be performed in front of a camera. That's what made them exciting and visceral. Nowadays we have actors hanging on wires in front of green screens.
@@DaChef1974 Same, loved that show when it was on, binged it a few years ago and even still loved it! Rare to come back to something from that time and not be be totally cringed out, could be nostalgia bias though!
I actually find Action Jackson to be an underrated 80s gem. Very enjoyable and fun indeed. It's not a perfect action movie, but it's a fun movie nonetheless.
I think action Jackson was actually a legitimately awesome movie. I believe it was directed by a stunt Director which is why so many of the stunts looked cool.
yeah, pre-internet days were tuff when I was in high school. With 3-6 channels and radio, there wasn't all that much to do so some movies were like being stuck in dive diner. The Menu was always 4+ pages laminated in plastic and always sticky, showing 80 dishes, or worse a buffet. You know 100% that overall it will be sub-par food, but some of it is at least edible, and like this movie, if you're lucky something you actually enjoy.
best part, this didn't even kill carl weather's career. He kept acting he just did some tv stuff and minor film roles. He also worked with the NFL and CFL during the time his telvision/film career went on part hiatus. Right after this came out he even took a job doing the last season tour of duty the tv show/mini series. He still had jobs available, but he chose football, which was his first passion before acting.
If you loved Stone Cold, this, then you’ll love Dark Angel (aka I Come In Peace) with Dolph Lundgren. Also, Robert Davi? C’mon! Die Hard, Maniac Cop 2, and Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence. Such classics.
Vanity (Denise Katrina Matthews) became a Christian a few years after this movie. She became heavely addicted to drugs and it was either give up the drugs or die young. That's was the main reason she turned to Christianity. She had already badly abused and damaged her body, though, and because of her drug abuse her kidneys began to fail her, which lead to her death in 2016 at the fairly young age of 56. Another beautiful actress from Vanity's era I liked was, Apollonia Kotero, the girl who played Prince's love interest in Purple Rain. She was unbelievably gorgeous. Check her out in the Eddie Money (RIP) video-Shakin, and you'll see how pretty she really was.
The guy you're thinking of is Miguel Nunez Jr, who is one of the most prolific "Hey, it's that guy!" actors from the 80s and is probably best known for starring in Juwanna Man.
I have to say my friends, after watching and full on gut rolling laughing harder than I have in years, I feel like I know you guys. I really enjoy this. I like the easy chairs set up better than the table. Keep on rocking, I'll keep watching, I'm sure a ton of others will too.
He was also the truck driver in the beginning of The Terminator. He was in the garbage truck saying "what the hell!?" When his engine gets shut off when Kyle Reese/Terminator are time traveling to the present...😂
This movie was actually pretty cool I thought back then .It had some pretty hilarious scenes especially the scene of ribs barbecuing on the grill right after the bazooka scene .Craig T Nelson pulled off a pretty convincing villain
It was so sad how happy that paranoid union guy was to be getting a package. For someone so paranoid it was odd how he left the door totally unlocked. I like how Action Jackson is clearly a total badas, but all his colleagues treat him like he’s some sort of dorky whimp.
Not seeing it since I was in high school, when it was in heavy cable rotation, really puts the dialog in perspective. It's like they shot part of one movie, then reshot or just filled in 40 minutes with off the shelf puns, dad jokes, and non sequiturs.
The Henchman with the bangs was one of the baddies in Conan the Barbarian. I believe he was the one with the oversize warhammer, who hit the column in the orgy scene!
Carl Weathers starred in another action movie called Hurricane Smith. I don't remember if it's so bad it's good, it's been decades since I've seen it, but I do remember one thing; Carl Weathers doesn't have his iconic mustache!😰
Just spotted that the guy about to torture Jackson in the garage (with the goggles) is one of the bad guys in Die Hard. He plays the guy who takes over reception.
No comment on Nelson's squib on back going off like a mortar round?! I remember watching that part frame by frame! Just an insane squib for a .38 revolver. My friends and I would explain it away as Jackson used his chi to power the bullet. lol
I cant believe you didn't know who Robert Davi was!!! Die Hard / Maniac Cop! But for the record have been in bed recovering for some weird sickness and your channel has been a lot of fun and has made me laugh. So thank you!
I just got in to watching an actress from Australia named Cassandra Delany, and while she only has four movie credits on IMDB, I have watched One Night Stand ( a movie about four teenagers who are in the Sydney Opera House on new years day, when a nuclear war breaks out), and Fair Game ( a movie which has been promoted by Tarantino). But why I am commenting here, is that she was the lead female role in a Carl Weathers film named Hurricane Smith, which looks right up the SBIG alley. Just on Cassandra Delany she was once married to John Denver and I have to say she was a very very good looking lady. Just a word of caution, she does not have a good rep, as she was seen as trying to gain a career of John's connections in the entertainment industry.
I’m hooked. This is the 2nd movie I’ve watched on your channel, and now I need you to roast all of my favorite childhood action movies. You had me dying 😂🤣😂🤣
Oh yeah, Action Jackson is so much fun to watch. But come on, you have to know Robert "Die Hard" Davi ?! Anyway, another excellent Video guys. Keep 'em coming!
I snuck into the theatre for this movie and have loved it for 35 years. And got the soundtrack. Love Carl weathers, wish the part 2 came out at least. Loved you guys reviewing these badass movies. Keep up the great work
I think Carl Weathers had a movie called Hurricane Smith that came out before this one. I might have a VHS copy of it somewhere. This movie is definitely a forgotten gem just for the cast.
Hurricane Smith was after this in 1992 and was an Australian movie that made around $89,000 in Australian theaters. He was also in a 1990 made-for-TV movie opposite Billy Dee Williams called Dangerous Passion.
They took every word joke Arnold said "Nope" to, took the combined cast of Predator and Commando (plus up and coming Sharon Stone and Vanity) and made a movie were stuff blows up when you look at it too hard.
I don't know why Carl Weathers didn't get more roles in action movies either. I think maybe it's one of those " one producer didn't like him" or " he had an argument with casting director X" so he got lowkey blacklisted? Who knows..guy had the looks and arguably the talent to be huge at the time, i mean a" guy that kinda looked like Van Damme" (Daniel Bernhardt) was in loads of movies. Robert Z'Dar was the star of a whole franchise ffs!
Way you guys were calling out all the actors you recognized, I'm surprised you didn't know Robert Davi. His big 80s role was one of the FBI agents in Die Hard.
You guys are destroying my childhood man...You Roasted BloodSport, Roadhouse, and now...Action Jackson? Nooooo! Damn it, this channel might as well be my internet homepage. You guys are awesome. I'll be watching.
@@JasonBrant are u a 80s action hero in disguise. And a request. Just watch predator. It is the greatest film ever made. U deserve something for your pain. Or dark angel with dolph lungren. Strange film. Some alien fires cds. I watched it when I was 6 when I had the measles’s. Fever dream
Hey just found your channel. Love it. Weird Science family jewels guy was also in Roadhouse. (What do I look like, a Valet?) And Enchilada Guy was also Dee Jay in Street Fighter. Keep up the great work. I am reliving my teen years here.
Action is awesome but couldn’t agree more about the dumb dialogue! Craig Baxley did I Come in Peace which was also batsh1t crazy. Apparently he turned down Hard to Kill because he didn’t want to work with Seagal. Sacrilege!! RIP Vanity.
This was a big budget stinker but one that me and my friend used to watch on VHS all the time. We remembered all the actors from Predator... All three!
Love this movie. Actually saw this in the theater. I love that you (That's my close friends and I always do) spot the classic Al Leong. But also note that the guy with the fireball gun, is one of Hans Gruber's terrorists from Die Hard. He's the guy that they station out at the front desk to impersonate the guard. Recently discovered your channel and I'm totally binging it. You guys have so many great movie videos 👍👍👍
As someone that saw this movie in the theater when it came out, the dialogue is perfect for the time it was made. Watch a movie with Amber or Ginger Lynn to find out what bad dialogue is.
13:45 That guy was Also in Die Hard . He's one of the baddies and He takes over as the security guy in the lobby when Winslow ( family guy cop) comes looking around. Oh I guess you guys called it out too. Also I think the Bald dude that gets run over by the Ferrari may have been one of the gunmen that Kills OJ in the beginning of Naked Gun.
As Jason and Bryan said though, this movie pretty much fucked over his career. Actin Jackson was suppose to be his big break but it bombed so hard he never became a leading actor again.
i remember this from when i was a kid, back then it was just a normal, rather good action movie, i don't think anyone saw it as even close to a B-movie.
I remember this movie, watching it on a VHS in '95 with a very limited English knowledge. I couldn't understand anything from the dialogues, but I really enjoyed the action sequences. 28 years later, I still don't understand what they're talking about, and I still enjoy all the action. ...Btw, I'm absolutely impressed by your memory when it comes to actors. I can remember a face, but never a name (that's why being introduced to someone is always a nightmare for me), so that makes it even more impressive.
"Vanity is in this, I don't know what she....did." A lot of drugs. Unfortunately that fast living caught up with her and she passed away in 2016. This movie was her last "major" role in any film. She went on to play bit parts in other little films and appear as a guest star on tv shows.
I've just discovered this channel recently and it's really great. But you guys really don't know who Robert Davi is? Damn! He was in Goonies, Die Hard, Licence to Kill, Predator 2...
RIP Carl weathers. Had to watch this again after few days hearing about his passing.
I went to a convention, was lining up to meet someone. Carl Weathers was seated next to that person and had only the occasional fan come up but he was super nice to every one of them, and inbetween was laughing and joking with the people in my line, and happily taking selfies and shit with people from that line even though they werent there to see him.

He should’ve been in more. He was amazing in Rocky 3. At least we got to see him in The Mandalorian

"How many hours could Sharon Stone be dead and you would still do her?". The line that stick with you from this review.
Anything beyond two hours is going too far.
Depends if its a warm day
"If you're gonna dabble" 😂 that was one of the funniest things I've heard off the cuff in a long time!
I honestly loved the terrible dialogue in this movie, it was so freaking fun.
Carl Weathers' career is experiencing a rejuvenation on The Mandalorian, love him and Pedro Pascal.
Love that show.
Ha! I think he gives off that Billy Dee Williams vibe as well. You know.. :P
Perfect timing! Right on my lunch break. I remember watching this as a kid all the time because there weren’t any black action stars before Wesley Snipes.

@@torarinvik4920 Did you see VFW with Williamson? He's old as hell in it and he's great!
@@JasonBrant I actually like him the best in From dusk till dawn and Vigilante.
Seeing Joel Silvers name at the start of any 80s movie meant awesome action, familiar character actors, and cheesy dialogue, but always fun.
For those who don't know, Vanity did have her own band. But, for a while, about 1 year or so, she was with Prince and the Purple Revolution.
Thanks for the info.

No matter how bad the action movies were in the eighties, the stuntman always gave it and looked like they gave it 1000% 👏👏👏👏👍
That's precisely why these films are still loved today. The dialogue can be absolute crap but the stunts and action scenes are memorable.
@@alucard624PRECISELY!
If you're going to "crack open a cold one"....make sure it's Sharon Stone.

Recently discovered your channel and I'm totally binging it. You guys have so many great movie videos 👍👍👍
As someone that saw this movie in the theater when it came out, the dialogue is perfect for the time it was made. Watch a movie with Amber or Ginger Lynn to find out what bad dialogue is.
NEEDED A Laugh
Got Ten Fold!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Again!!
13:45 That guy was Also in Die Hard . He's one of the baddies and He takes over as the security guy in the lobby when Winslow ( family guy cop) comes looking around.
Oh I guess you guys called it out too.
Also I think the Bald dude that gets run over by the Ferrari may have been one of the gunmen that Kills OJ in the beginning of Naked Gun.
Nelson's kicks in that fight scene reminded Me of "Don't Mess With the Zohan."
🤣
When I watched this movie I was way too young (
Such a shame... this movie could have been amazing.
I was hoping for Carl Weathers to have a bigger career. Love Apollo Creed as a character.
A 13 year old wrote this dialog.
As Jason and Bryan said though, this movie pretty much fucked over his career. Actin Jackson was suppose to be his big break but it bombed so hard he never became a leading actor again.
i remember this from when i was a kid, back then it was just a normal, rather good action movie, i don't think anyone saw it as even close to a B-movie.
Same I always thought it was considered an A tier film . I never watched it but I did hear a ton about it .
'... you ever had your head RAMED up your ass' I didn't catch that on the first time watching this video. I almost died.
God, the writing...
I remember this movie, watching it on a VHS in '95 with a very limited English knowledge. I couldn't understand anything from the dialogues, but I really enjoyed the action sequences. 28 years later, I still don't understand what they're talking about, and I still enjoy all the action.
...Btw, I'm absolutely impressed by your memory when it comes to actors. I can remember a face, but never a name (that's why being introduced to someone is always a nightmare for me), so that makes it even more impressive.
Thanks so much. Everyone always rags on me if I forget ONE actor in a movie. Glad someone appreciates that I get most of them 🤣
Thank God this movie had a great cast. Could you imagine this dialog with lesser actors?
It'd be a Seagal movie.
Dude just love this channel! Keep up the good work!👍
You guys were 12 again during that opening scene, that was amazing 😂😂
"Vanity is in this, I don't know what she....did."
A lot of drugs. Unfortunately that fast living caught up with her and she passed away in 2016. This movie was her last "major" role in any film. She went on to play bit parts in other little films and appear as a guest star on tv shows.
RIP
Rest in Peace Carl.
I thought Carl Weathers had one the best bodies in the 80s. In Rocky he was carved outta wood. Really under rated!
King of the Kickboxers is a worthy shout for so bad its good🤔
What's really interesting is the writer, Robert Reneau , wrote only ONE other film--"Demolition Man."
I think you guys missed the boat on Action Jackson. That movie is a blast!
Vanity is the turkey and Carl is the stuffing.... oh yeah! This writing really killed it. I remember this crap from a long time ago.
The guy that gets blown through the window in the beginning played Viktor Rosta, the bad guy from "Red Heat".
Ed O'Ross. He has a great scene in Lethal Weapon, too.
@@JasonBrant
I haven't watched those for a long time. Time to break out the Lethal Weapon box I guess..
I just love this channel!
"It's just necrophilia dude, calm down."
I swear @ 1:28 that legit sounds like Bill Murray saying oh man
I've just discovered this channel recently and it's really great.
But you guys really don't know who Robert Davi is? Damn! He was in Goonies, Die Hard, Licence to Kill, Predator 2...
And wiseguy.
