DVD Reviews of TNT Jackson
DVD Review: "I Choose Not To Defend My Honor At This Point."
Summary: 3 Stars
Jeanne (Jeannie) Bell is Diana "TNT" Jackson, a karate expert on a mission to avenge her brother's death amidst the gangs and drug dealers of Hong Kong. TNT arrives and realizes that she will need to go undercover to penetrate the drug gang that's responsible for her brother's death. Naturally, being that Bell was the October 1969 Playboy Playmate of the Month, she agrees to pose as a prostitute and quickly finds herself involved with a very young Stan Shaw. Shaw (Toomer from "The Great Santini"), who is an extremely gifted actor, is seen here in an absolutely stupendous afro and unreal polyester clothes that are half the entertainment of the film. Shaw is aiming to become big in the mob and sees TNT as an asset. There is disagreement about her value within the organization when heroin shipments start getting hijacked, leading to no end of dramatic confrontations.
The film is an excuse to show Bell doing karate on mobsters and tons of Asian extras. Probably half the running time is taken up with karate scenes of dubious quality. Bell is a pretty woman, but not exceptionally talented in martial arts. The fight scenes are amusingly choreographed and lack a certain amount of credibility. OK, who am I fooling? They are laughable and ridiculous, but they provide the other half of the entertainment value the film yields.
The story is straightforward and predictable, the acting is sub par (Shaw does well with questionable material), and the quality of the DVD recording is not very good, as it has a lot of surface flaws and poor color balance. Still, the fight scenes are entertaining (albeit not in the intended way), and the film does have a satisfying (if predictable) conclusion after Bell and Shaw engage in fisticuffs for an exceedingly long time. It's only 72 minutes long, so there's not enough time to get too bored (although the native dancing toward the end started to approach the boredom threshold), making it a brainless, fun flashback to the 1970's.
