Plot: Penny Marshall in her feature film directing debut, four screenwriters, and a ebullient Whoopi Goldberg join forces to make Jumpin' Jack Flash, a modern espionage comedy. Goldberg plays Terry Doolittle, a computer operator in a large New York City bank who picks up a cry of help on her computer. The signal is from a man who signs off as Jumpin' Jack Flash. Based on the Rolling Stones tune of that name, she figures out his secret password and opens up a Pandora's box of international intrigue. It seems Jack Flash is a pseudonym for a British agent who is trapped in Russia and desperate for information from the British Embassy that will help him escape. When Terry agrees to help him, the CIA, the KGB, British intelligence, and sundry other law enforcement organizations are all hot on her tail as she tries to help the beleaguered British agent. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

A little B movie gem
Added 11/5/2009
I have a strange affection for this movie. Who knows why. It's silly, some intrigue, cheesy '80s, Whoopie at her cutest, some schmaltz, great supporting cast ... it kinda has it all. It's hard not to get sucked in when this one pops up on the TV. Just go with the flow and enjoy. There are a lot worse out there.

I saw Jumpin' Jack Flash when it first came out in the 80's. I loved it then and rented it on VHS. I hadn't seen it for years when I saw it again and had to have it. Like it better on DVD. Love Whoopi always.

Excellent action comedy with Whoopi Goldberg at her absolute best. The language is pretty bad in spots and definitely not for kids but the movie is worth seeing for adults! Watch it after you put the kids to bed.
