Summary: "I Choose Not To Defend My Honor At This Point."
Comment: 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.

Summary: Ring My Bell!...
Comment: Jeannie Bell is TNT Jackson! She's on the trail of the scum-suckin' pigs who killed her brother! Watch out! TNT's not just beautiful, she's a martial arts master (mistress?) w/ vengeance on her mind! Yes, this movie does contain our heroine's topless kung-fu battle! Ms. Bell is semi-convincing in her role, talking tough while allowing her stunt-double to jump and fly through the air. Still, there is a nice butterfly-knife sequence and enough nudity and charm to make things bearable. Not bad...

Summary: Excellent Party DVD with limitations
Comment: I won't say much here, Many Others have basically described this DVD properly, the Film Transfer is Poor, but watchable, the Acting and Plot is CAMP at its finest! The Best Scene involves a Karate attack Main Character Jeanne Bell imparts on 2 Fillipinos, after telling One "I've never Made It with a Chink before"....During the Struggle, Jeanne Bell appears in White and then Black Panties, an amusing Error in the editing process; at this Price, TNT Jackson is a MUST for Your Library....

Summary: TNT Jackson Not just a clever title
Comment: This movie really lives up to its billing. Jackson is one mean Mo Fo and don't take no ... from No honkey! What is great about this movie is the dialogue, i have never in my many years of watching films heard one smooth cat talk so much jive to so many sucka ... turkeys! Its a great film with wonderfully funky acting in it. You'd have to be crazy or white not to like this film.
