Jade (1995) – IMDb

Don’t believe all the negs about this pix. It’s not just another “Basic Instinct,” either. Chaz and Linda are the consummate couple. V-e-r-y classy. The set decorations are fantastic. I absolutely vote Linda the quintessential queen of soft porn (or was it “hard”–I haven’t yet seen the uncut version). Was it Linda or was it Memorex? Whoever it was, her legs are fabulous! Angie Everhart’s sultry soliloquy describing her passion for LF (Trina) was like butter melting on a hot lobster. I found myself replaying that scene over and over just to capture the full essence of the moment. The hit-and-run scene was extremely graphic, (wow,what a stunt!) except to Friedkin fans who expect a certain amount of gratuitous violence. The final scene with CP and LF was perfect. I could feel the sexual tension jump out from the screen. The beautifully haunting song, “Mystic Dream,” by Loreena McKennitt fit the dark mood perfectly. I still don’t know why I love this movie; to borrow a line from the film, it must be “hysterical blindness.” Go see this movie with a date, and have a great time together afterwards!
