Summary: Why are we still waiting for this on DVD?
Review: JJF is a great film from 1986, extremely funny and made Whoopi the star she deserved to be. Whoopi plays a bored officer worker who sits behind a computer all day wishing for a better life. Oneday she starts receiving messages on the computer screen from a spy needing help. How can she ignore these pleas as they also offer some excitement into her life. Add Carol Kane and James Belushi to the cast, and you have one hilarious film. One question that begs to be asked is: why are we still waiting for this title on DVD? It's long overdue - the film distributor should puts their skates on and release this ASAP. My old video copy is worn out.

Summary: Dogs barking can't fly without umbrella!
Review: JJF is one of those excellent 80's comedies that has begged for a DVD release for some time. I presumed the delay was because Fox were preparing a bunch of extras to add to the DVD, but not so. JJF has finally arrived on DVD, and despite there not being a single special feature (not even the trailer), it is still worth owning! Would have been nice for Whoopi to do an audio-commentary. A nice 5.1 surround sound has been given to the soundtrack, and the widescreen anamorphic is nice to have after years of watching the video cropped version. I will say that the DVD transfer is not sharp, but acceptable considering the film's age. JJF is Whoopi at her finest. She plays a bank computer operator who starts receiving help messages on her screen from a spy. It's one adventure after another from then on. Please remember .... it's a gas, gas, gas!

Summary: Favorite finally on DVD
Review: Jumpin'Jack Flash, my ultimate favorite movie, finally coming out on DVD !!

A few years ago, a friend asked to borrow my VHS copy of the movie. I couldn't find it. Looked high and low. Found it days and days later, in the box we had packed because a hurricane had been predicted for our area. In the box with the video of our wedding, the insurance papers, the will, the priceless photos, was the video of Jumpin' Jack Flash !!

Up till that time, I didn't really realize how much I love that movie. And I have been checking from time to time to see if and when it would come out on DVD.

Good things DO come to those who wait :) !!

Summary: Best Ever!
Review: Jumping Jack Flash must be my all-time favourite film - it is the only one I can watch over and over again without getting bored. Whoopi Goldberg was hilarious in this film (but then she is a wonderful, natural comedian who can also bring tears to the eyes when needed). Whatever she does, she does well and puts so much feeling into her work. Needless to say she is also my favourite actress. Keep up the good work, Cheers, Blue Wren.

Summary: PLEASE give us this movie on DVD with special features!
Review: Larry P. Morgan hit it on the head...this movie NEEDS to be on DVD. I have worn out 3 VHS tapes of the film and given away more than 10 as gifts. It's one of the few comedies I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy over and over and get cravings to watch - and I nearly have all the dialogue memorized! It's Whoopi at her best, in my opinion. Her timing is impeccable, the directing is PERFECT, the setting is great (even the older type computer terminals do not detract from the plot), and I bet there are plenty of people who can relate to Whoopi's character, Terry's desire for intrigue and excitement. Stephen Collins is a complete delight! I think it's one of HIS best roles as well. I could go on and on...I just hope when it does come out on DVD it will be worth the wait by including special features like "Making of..." and interviews, etc. I look for it almost every day!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Its a gas gas gaaas!
Review: My mommy loves this show. Our family tends to recite it. It's very fun. :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Should be on DVD
Review: One of Whoopie's funniest films. Why isn't it on DVD?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PLEASE put this on DVD!!!
Review: PLEASE read the other reviews of this movie because they express everything in my heart about this film. Whoopi...you are just totally incredible in this movie. Your timing...your delivery of lines, your "aura" in the role, it's impecible I can't believe that this film is not on DVD yet, AND I hope when they DO release it that there are OUTTAKES and special features galore. This is truly my FAVORITE comedy of ALL times. You, Whoopi, have captured the best of all of the comedians of our time in this film. I loved this from the first because I am a bigtime computer fanatic. I started on mainframes and sent messages to friends and co-workers LIVE and it's SO real it's scary. SOMEONE at the top is missing it (or they are holding out on us and hopefully preparing a DVD with lots of special features).
