There is not a movie in the world like "Action Jackson". The very Charismatic Carl Weathers plays Jericho "Action" Jackson and attempts to kick the ass of evil white guy Peter Dellaplane (played by Craig T. Nelson). Comedy ensues throughout the entire movie with cheesy albeit HILARIOUS one-liners, jokes and just plain silliness especially in a scene in which Jackson pretends to be a crazy holy man to get himself out of big trouble. Carl Weathers redefines the term "Leading Man" in my opinion because he's such a cool, charming, charismatic and lovable character. Most of us guys out there, even white guys really want to be like him and wish most people would fear us even though were are really nice guys inherently, much like Action Jackson. There are some other excellent characters, like the big hulking black muslim bodyguard guy. Apparantly somewhere in the movie he changed his religion because he helps Action Jackson kick ass later in the film. The great part of the movie also is that most white guys in the film are not portrayed as utter morons, at least some of them. ;). The movie is pretty mindless, so that covers the action part, I would consider this to be a really great "action comedy" though, as it is funny, and it has action. I can promise this movie will be one hell of a time for you.
