“Jade” Promotional Poster
Stuntman-turned director James Bamford (Supergirl series) rounds up newcomer Shaina West (Black Widow), Mickey Rourke (Take Back, Double Team), Mark Dacascos (One Night in Bangkok, John Wick: Chapter 3) and Katherine McNamara (Arrow) for Jade, an upcoming martial arts actioner from Defiant Screen Entertainment!
Bamford is perhaps best-known for his stunt work on Watchmen, Blade: Trinity, as well as directing episodes of DC’s Arrow and Superman and Lois.
Jade features action choreography from Daniel Joseph Rizzuto (Jiu Jitsu), Tony Vittorioso (Man from Toronto) with additional choreography from West and Bamford.
Jade follows a woman (West) who comes between a powerful businessman and a gang leader in their search for a hard drive that could damage the operations of Interpol. The woman is required to use her unique set of skills to retrieve the drive.
Catch Jade on digital in May 2024. Watch its Trailer below:
And another non Japanese movie with a non Asian and female usung a katana. This has become just laughable.
Damn Gagalagaille, i hope you never get round to watching Highlander, i mean a Scotsman played by a frenchman who is taught by an Egyptian played by a Scotsman who ends up using a katana…. thats just wrong on so many levels right?
Also theres a problem with a female using a katana? or is it her skin color you object to? what weapon should she be using?
And without seeing a frame of the movie you are able to pass judgement, wow
Q) so i am guessing any asian movie where people are dressed in western fashions, use anything western, speak any English etc must also be very wrong right?
Spot on! Somebody needed to say it!
Highlander? That was in, like, 1986, right? And that was kinda new then, right?
Well, I’m sorry to tell you that we are in 2021 and that it’s not a novelty anymore, but a stupid cliché used just to (try to) look cool.
Really sorry again, but I don’t hate all women and all black people… I think Blind fury sucks. And I like 2008’s Ichi with the gorgeous Haruka Ayase too. Don’t be too fast to judge people you’ve only read one or a few sentence(s) on the Internet. Look at yourself in the mirror too, it’s a good thing (for me too).
Most people in the entire world are using Western clothes and stuff like that. It’s a fact. I rarely see people with a katana in the streets or anywhere else…
NOBODY except JAPANESE SAMURAI (with a few exceptions, I know) have used katana as a weapon, during war or not. It’s a fact too. I think they are more “Western clothes” in the world than katana, but I could be wrong.
So… For me it’s more glory to Hara-Kiri/Seppuku and f… s… like Kill Bill and all the rest.
But if you wanna represent the only truth in the world, no problem: I was wrong, you are right.
It’s just an efficient and cool-looking weapon. Chill.
Shaina West is very talented, and I hope this movie shows her at her best. Social media is filled with amazing stunt women, and there could easily be a new Girls with Guns renaissance if the powers that be weren’t a bunch a shit-heads.
Not to be confused with Jade from Mortal Kombat or that 90’s Jade movie from the Exorcist director.
