THREE BOND VILLAINS, ONE BOND GIRL AND A MARTIAL ARTS LEGEND.
Directed by Academy Award winner and veteran director of numerous hit TV series, Ernest Pintoff, (Knots Landing; Hawaii Five-O; Kojak) and starring three former Bond villains (Christopher ‘Scaramanga’ Lee, Donald ‘Blofeld’ Pleasence and Joseph ‘Dr. No’ Wiseman), a former Bond girl (Barbara Bach) and legendary American kickboxer, karate fighter and martial artist Joe Lewis as the eponymous hero, Jaguar Lives! is a star-studded, action-packed, globe-hopping spy thriller that owes as much to the kung fu movies of the 1970s as it does to the spy novels of Ian Fleming and their movie adaptations.
Joe Lewis stars as Jonathan Cross, aka Jaguar, a recently retired secret agent who is persuaded to take on one last assignment. His mission: to smash a global drug cartel rumoured to involve the people believed to be responsible for the disappearance and possible murder of his former partner. Jaguar’s plans to infiltrate the international network of pushers and dealers running the cartel and ultimately eliminate the evil mastermind heading the operation bring him into contact with some of the world’s most powerful and dangerous criminal figures, including a crazed dictator-like General, a ruthless businesswoman with deadly connections and a villainous crime lord and his ninja bodyguards.
Co-starring John Huston (Chinatown; Casino Royale), Capucine (the Pink Panther movies) and Sally Faulkner (Prey; Vampyres) and packed with massive explosions, fast cars, exotic locations, beautiful women and Lewis’s trademark martial arts moves, Jaguar Lives! is a cult classic from the golden age of over-the-top action movies.
