When prominent businessman Kyle Medford is found murdered and horribly mutilated at his upscale townhouse, 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 Medford'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 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, The Last Seduction), 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 an extensive array of interviews with cast and crew.

Linda Fiorentino!
"Not the highest rated 90s erotic thriller, but still a fun watch"
— Arthur C. (4/5)
Sleazy Blockbuster fun
"This here is one of my all time favorites of the sexy thrillers of the 90s. This is some top tier cinema. One of the longest car chases I've ever seen, a sequence following a shocking character death. It was a no question buy. And to finally have both versions of the film on one disc was the perfect touch. great cast."
— Ryan S. (5/5)
Director’s Cut in 4K
"The director’s cut hasn’t had a release since vhs, and Vinegar Syndrome were able to totally remaster it for 4K. The car chase is excellent. I’d expect nothing less than that from Friedkin."
— Rene R. (5/5)
"The packaging is amazing. It's not the best movie but I enjoyed it."
— Bob H. (5/5)

Not William Friedkin's best but
"Not William Friedkin's best but still worth the watch. The transfer is good."
— William K. (5/5)
Not for Me. . .
"I know there were multiple car chases and I usually enjoy a good crime film but this one was pretty boring. It also felt like they dragged out the first two acts just to rush the third act and end it so abruptly. Not a great story at all. Rated it 2. 5 but its a red for me - will not watch again ❤️"
— Jace P. (2/5)
