Description

Carl Weathers goes full action hero in Action Jackson (1988), a movie that deserved an entire franchise but got left in the VHS aisle.

We break down why this cult classic still rules, how Craig T. Nelson’s tuxedo karate is both insane and perfect, why Vanity steals scenes, and why Carl Weathers should’ve been mentioned in the same breath as Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Willis.

It’s part comedy, part tribute, all 80s action chaos.
