Been years since I've seen that one. Carl Weathers never really took off as an action star especially after Hurricane Smith :D A bit of a pity seeing as he had a really good presence and charisma in Action Jackson. The director Craig R. Baxley should've been bigger too Stone Cold and Dark Angel (aka I Come In Peace) are classics of action cinema but minor cult hits don't cut it when the studios want "Die Hards" and "Lethal Weapons" i.e $$$$$$$$.
They never really cared about Carl Weathers. One of those around who you never noticed. I thought he was excellent in Predator and in the Rocky series. He was one actor who went under the radar. Too bad.
