Having reinforced a make for the sake of himself playing Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies, Carl Weathers hoped to set in motion his ain action-hero dealership as the wishfully named Action Jackson. But this 1st shoot ne'er took turned and it turned into a one-movie serial publication. Weathers plays Jackson, a constabulary sergeant so nicknamed for the reason that he e'er seems to be whither the action is. He runs fouled of an vicious auto noble (Craig T. Nelson), who quickly sets astir putting Jackson in the midriff of a jackpot in the place of slay. Jackson springs himself from poky and goes on the go, aided by junkie-with-a-heart-of-gold Vanity, preceding bringing Nelson to justness. Weathers is an telling example excepting an doubtful existence (though he put up palm a one-liner), and he's overmatched in anticipation of fire-breathing baddie Nelson. --Marshall Fine Based on the TV serial publication of the sort nominate.
