Favorite finally on DVD
May 24 2004
Format:DVD
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 :) !!

DVD at last!
Jun 8 2004
Format:DVD
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!

PLEASE put "Jumpin' Jack Flash" onto DVD !!!
"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 ! Read more

OVER and OVER Deserves to be on DVD
Some movies get better the more often you see them, even if they are not a "great film" by normal definitions. They are good for curing a "blue" mood. Read more
