Turn Up the Evil!

I'm a bit surprised not to find an article for Action Jackson.  It had a thin plot with lots of gratuitous exposition and deus ex machine rescues, second tier performers (who could still actually act decently), and a rather silly premise.  How does one go about getting a masterpiece like that written up?

My favorite part is where Action Jackson flips/jumps/vaults over the car that's about to run him down.   TeddyR

Same here, Torgo. That and when one bad guy gets projected through a window and crashes against the opposite building.

It's a pity Carl Weathers didn't make more like this one, it's a very bad movie, but it keeps the nonsense and the action going on so you don't have much time to think about the inconsistencies.

Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
