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

Penny Marshall's directorial debut, Jumpin' Jack Flash, stars Whoopi Goldberg as a woman who becomes involved in some international intrigue. The film makes its debut on DVD with a pair of transfers: the widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround while Spanish and French soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English and Spanish subtitles are also accessible. Supplemental materials include the trailer for this film as well as for four other Whoopi films. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
