The tagline "Stormy Weathers blows through Motown." comes from which 1988 movie?

The tagline "Stormy Weathers blows through Motown" comes from the 1988 movie Action Jackson.

The pun refers to star Carl Weathers, who plays Jericho "Action" Jackson, a tough Harvard-educated Detroit police sergeant. "Stormy Weathers" combines the actor's surname with storm imagery, while "Motown" identifies Detroit, the film's principal setting.

Action Jackson follows the detective as he investigates a ruthless auto executive, Peter Dellaplane, who is eliminating business rivals while pursuing political influence. Directed by Craig R. Baxley and produced by Joel Silver, the film blends police thriller, action comedy and blaxploitation influences.

The tagline is sometimes encountered in movie-trivia and database listings rather than on the film's best-known theatrical advertising. That can make it easy to confuse with a slogan for Weathers's production company or another 1980s action film. The movie itself stars Weathers opposite Craig T. Nelson, Vanity and Sharon Stone, and was released in the United States on February 12, 1988.
