synopsis
An auto tycoon wants to become a political kingmaker and only a Harvard law graduate turned police officer by the name of Jackson stands in his way. With the help of a nightclub singer, Jackson starts a one-man crusade to stop the tycoon's destructive course.
Toward the bottom of the '80s action movie barrel lies ACTION JACKSON, the only movie in Hollywood history to show Sharon Stone and Vanity topless within a span of ten minutes. This Carl "Apollo Creed" Weathers vehicle features the traditional cop vs. evil establishment crook, and relies on all the '80s trappings, from the token heroin addict who needs a fix to the shouting superior officer. Somewhere in between come the explosions and boobs, although there is a curious lack of exploding boobs.
