Jumpin' Jack Flash

Summary: Please, Pleaae a DVD
Review: "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is my favorite comedy and a cult classic in my family. We quote lines lines to each other to fit family situations and have watched it so often that we have worn it out. I have been looking unsuccessfully for a VHS or DVD replacement for over a year. My son preordered a DVD for me, but after 5 months the order was cancelled... Whoopie has never been better, and deserves a lasting version of this incrediblly funny movie.

Review: & save myself the cost of renting over and over and over... I don't care what the critics said, this movie is hilarious! The supporting actors are great but Whoopi is a standout. This role really "turned her loose" and let her shine. (And oooooh, Jonathan Price's voice. Very sexy.) This movie has comedy, drama, espionage and now, that retro 80's thing going on. I rent it every time I'm sick or just depressed. It never fails to make me laugh.

Summary: PLEASE put "Jumpin' Jack Flash" onto DVD !!!
Review: "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a GREAT movie filled with hysterical lines and a zany cast. This is almost a cult classic and it is a tragedy that the movie isn't on DVD ! Why, just the fact that Whoopie is in it would make it sell great and there are at least two generations missing out on this film that would go nuts for it... MY poor VHS copy is almost worn out and there are so many delightful quips and lines in this film, almost nothing puts me in a better moood ! ("Get yourself an office - with a desk and a lamp !") PLEASE come to your senses an put this little gem, for its 20th anniversary at least, onto DVD !

Review: A delightful and entertaining comedy that certainly deserves to be re released on DVD.

Summary: Absolutely great!
Review: A great comic achievement. One of the most brilliant comedies of the Eighties. Exciting plot, funny actors, exhilarating situations (just remember when Whoopi's evening dress gets entangled, and when she wears dark glasses and mimicks Ray Charles playing the piano on her computer keyboard.). Particularly recommended for dull, rainy afternoons. Terry Doolittle is a model for all computer operators all over the world!!!

Summary: Classic Whoopi
Review: Although this movie is a bit outdated vis-a-vis the Cold War and computer technology, it is still a classic Whoopi movie - filled with lots of laughs and good music - the plot isn't too bad either.

Review: Grab a copy of this DVD, priced just right, and go on the comedic spy caper of your life. Hysterical and historical, giving it 5 wonderful stars!

"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is Whoopi Goldberg's movie debut, and boy did she sure show us! Along with "Ghost," it's one of her two best movies. (She did a fine dramatic job in "The Color Purple," and I'll never forget how she spits in the lemonade of her brutal husband's equally horrible friend before serving it and how Shug sings "Sister" to her, but the movie's just too traumatic and tear-jerking to watch more than once. An interview with Levar Burton has it that Whoopi really pushed for her role as Gynon on the Star Trek New Generation series, and she's pretty
good at that, too.)

In "Jack Flash" Whoopi plays an international bank clerk who works for a schmuck, when a British Secret Service agent (whom no one really sees until the bitter end) hacks into her computer to enlist her help in getting him out of Eastern Europe. (Remember, this is the good ol' '80s, before the Wall fell and that sorta stuff.) After she passes his little code key "test," he sends her on an intriguing mission to do really important stuff, like saying "dogs barking, can't fly without umbrella" to the British Consulate, retrieving frying pans from his "nice pad," and attending the Queen's Anniversary Ball all dressed up very Diana Ross-ish as her cover. She has all sorts of groovy friends at the bank who just love her, but they're all clueless about what's happening with her espionage game, them being preoccupied with their Brut cologne collections and dating guys with names like Richard Something-Italian who sell perfume seconds. Clueless, that is, until dorky Marty comes along to replace the pregnant girl. That's when things really heat up for Terry Doolittle (Whoopi).

Very, very funny, with some suspenseful moments, a funny but bit part for Jim Belushi, two especially wonderful singing scenes (Whoopi doing Mick Jagger and Whoopi doing Diana Ross), great supporting characters/actors, and Whoopi's dynamite wardrobe and killer kitschy apartment loaded with kewpie dolls, huge posters of "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman," and gigantic toothbrushes. So, bon-de-bon, ariverderche, God Save the Queen, that sort of thing...I'm off to watch "Jumpin' Jack Flash!"
