Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986)

Comedy spy thriller directed by Penny Marshall, and very much in the style of Beverly Hills Cop

Whoopi Goldberg plays a bank worker who gets involved in international intrigue after her office computer is hacked into.

There are a few funny bits, but not nearly enough. One amusing scene has Whoopi trying to make out the words to the title song by the Rolling Stones and not being able to make sense of Mick Jagger’s phrasing.

The most interesting aspect is seeing what state-of-the-art office computing looked like in 1986.
