Why don't people like this movie


This is one of the best action movies i have ever see and i am only seventeen years of age. Carl Weathers is one of the greatest action movie stars to ever hit the big screen. this movie has action, comedy and dram to it and not alot of people like it, but i love it. I mean come on Weathers has the body of a super hero the fighting skill of Apollo Creed (lol) and he rocks this movie in half.

who agrees with me?

It takes 38 minutes for Carl Weathers to actually be in an action scene in his own movie. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I love this movie but like other people have said

late 80's was pumping out so many action movies like this some good and some awful but AJ just fell though the cracks.

Well, considering it's such a flurry of bad oneliners, terrible music, not-so-exciting action and general corniness mounted on a second hand plot...

AMEN TO ALL THAT!!! I just wish they would've made a SECOND Action Jackson movie!

It's cheesy with lame fighting scenes and also can't decide its genre (in one minute it's a slapstick comedy, which briefly turns into a soft porn, then a horror movie with people emasculated and burned alive and at the end, it also tries to be a martial arts movie - unsuccessfully).
