JPV8525/10

Poor man's action-comedy from the 80s tries so hard to make Carl Weathers a star and while he can have his charms, he's saddled with awful one-liners that even for the time were bad, and not at all funny. Rather thin story which is fine but the action/fights were basic and Weathers shared very little chemistry with Vanity, who might be cute but not a great actor. Craig T. Nelson as the villain could've been fun, however save for a scene or two, doesn't offer very much. I can see why this didn't do very well at the box office (adjusted for ticket inflation, ~$38M) and Weathers didn't have much of a career (in theatrical features anyway) afterward. **2.25/5**
