Jade 07/25 Blu-ray (Rental)

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s. When prominent businessman Kyle Medford is found murdered and horribly mutilated at his massive estate, Assistant District Attorney David Corelli is brought in to investigate. After discovering that Medford had photos featuring the governor and a high-class prostitute, Corelli begins to uncover a complicated web of blackmail and perversion connecting the business and political elite, and all leading back to illicit encounters they shared with a mysterious call girl known only as “Jade.” The deeper Corelli delves into the twisted details surrounding Murphy’s lifestyle, the closer he comes to unmasking a sophisticated killer who will do anything to hide the truth, including perpetrating additional acts of violence… Long one of the most difficult to find films from acclaimed and Academy Award-winning director William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection), JADE is an ultra-stylish erotic thriller with an outrageously clever screenplay from genre master Joe Eszterhas (Showgirls, Sliver). Starring David Caruso (TV’s CSI: Miami), Linda Fiorentino (Vision Quest, After Hours), Michael Biehn (The Terminator), and Richard Crenna (First Blood), and featuring a legendary car chase through the streets of San Francisco, as well as a score by multi-Academy Award winner James Horner (Aliens), this over-the-top and steamy whodunit at last makes its way to 4K UHD and Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome, newly restored from its 35mm camera negative for this release and presented in both its extended director’s cut as well as its original theatrical version, in addition to featuring an extensive array of interviews with cast and crew.
