Good movie about an australian american outlaw [Hogan] named Jack who's gang gets shot up, and in need of help, accepts a black mute orphan to help him out. While Jack is trying to get a reputation in the U.S. as a mean cold blooded killer, the mute orphan barely knows how to fire a gun and ends up slowing them up, until Jack teaches him what being an outlaw is all about. If you liked Crocodile Dundee, you'll really like Lightning Jack.

Yikes, some people just don't like Paul Hogan, do they? After seeing a surprisingly negative review of this movie when I logged on to buy the DVD, I decided to add my two cents. This is a VERY entertaining movie. It's well-paced, originally plotted and funny! Really. As the two heroes of the story fumbled their way through one sloppy crime after the other, I chuckled and looked forward to each new scene. This is not just for hardcore Western lovers. My mother enjoyed it, my kid loved it, my brother liked it, etc. That's why I'm buying it. Of course, I happen to like my westerns light -- think of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Quigley Down Under, Support Your Local Sheriff, Shanghai Noon, etc. I give it 5 stars for being purely entertaining. (Made me go rent Crocodile Dundee. I liked that, too.)

If you like western or comedy movies, you will probably like "Lightning Jack." Paul Hogan stars as Lightning Jack, a cowboy that is famous for craftily robbing banks. He is one of the most wanted criminals in the country. Cuba Gooding, Jr. is a mute that later tries to team up with Lightning Jack and become a successful robber and cowboy in his own right. That's when the movie gets a lot better and more interesting. It will keep you interested throughout the movie so you can find out if Lightning Jack will remain successful at robbing banks across America or if he'll get caught. The movie also has a lot of funny parts that make it even better.

Funny is as funny does and this is funny.For Cuba fans it's really great.

I bought this video to send to my son who is overseas for his birthday. It arrived quickly and in great shape, in plenty of time to get to him for his birthday.

Loved this movie. Paul Hogen gives as good a performance in this movie as he did in Crocodile Dundee. Well worth owning

I was expecting nothing less than fantastic from Paul Hogan. Crocodile Dundee 1 & 2, were great movies. Wasn't as great as I expected. Was good, but not great.

Well, if you have not seen this movie then you are missing a Paul Hogan good one! This movie is humorously funny and very enjoyable to whatch. While it's no "Young Frankenstein" it is a good family movie for all, it has all the nifties that a good movie should.

This movie is great family entertainment. Cuba Gooding Jr does such an excellent job playing a mute that the first time we saw the movie (before we knew who he was) we really thought that he was mute. Movie last about 80 minutes and has a lesson to be learned. If you don't like the situation that you are living in, if you try hard enough, you can change that situation. Excellent movie.

great way to find a dvd online that is hard to find in stores....we purchased it new and reasonable price.....very happy
