Summary

For this 200th episode of Junkfood Cinema, Brian and Cargill bring you all the fireworks packed into Action Jackson! Carl Weathers stars in what is essentially the last great blaxploitation movie produced by JFC mainstay Joel Silver. This might explain why Cargill describes Action Jackson as what would happen, "if Predator fucked Die Hard."

The guys discuss the cast, Craig T. Nelson's dye job, the amazing/incomprehensible one-liners, and the odd connections to both Robocop and Shakespeare.
