Jumpin Jack Flash

Jumpin' Jack Crap
Loved this movie when I first saw it in the theater, have had a soft spot for it since. When I saw it was coming to blu, I got excited and immediately pre-ordered it. Received it in the mail today and...wow...am I disappointed. I see no real difference in the video from the DVD (some, but not much)...the sound is a little better...but what is the WORST thing is that this is not just a "bare bones" blu ray...there isn't even a MENU. The movie starts right up...nothing when you hit the "menu" button or anything. There is NOTHING but the movie. This is the 2nd Anchor Bay blu ray that I have purchased with this happening (not even a freaking MENU...the other was "The Entity")...what is going on with this? How much can it cost to provide a menu with chapter stops or something...ANYTHING? This will be the last Anchor Bay blu ray purchase for me.

2 stars because I DO still like the movie, but dang...the blu ray release of "Jumpin Jack Flash" is the crap crap crap.

GREAT FUNNY, ACTION, WHOOPI CLASSIC!
This film is one whoopi's, greatest films when she first started! Its got it all, comedy, action, suspense and if you don't already like them after all these years of them being around, it might even make you a fan of the Rolling Stones! Enjoy.

Jack has nothing to jump about here.....
This movie as far as I am concerned is a classic and captures Whoopi Goldberg at her comedic best. Her timing and responses as a bank teller thrown into the spy world of cloak and dagger is both hysterical and makes for a good adventure. In addition, this film also portrays the first aspects of instant messaging and online communications. Lastly, if I am not mistaken, I believe this is Penny Marshall's directional debut in motion pictures. Therefore why only a three star rating?

This DVD produced by Anchor Bay is rather disappointing. There is absolutely nil in the form of special features, no trailer/preview for this feature (any other films), no documentaries and no commentary, which honestly wouldn't bother me if the DVD itself had a menu screen. When you put the disk in the DVD player a screen pops up and states if subtitles are desired to hit the "subtitle" button on your remote control. When the movie begins it does have a rather clear widescreen presentation,...
