This was a movie I loved when I was a teenager and had been looking for it for a long time. This was the first time I found it and am very happy with my purchase. I got it a day later than was expected but we had just had a bad snow storm the day before so the delay was understandable.
Rating: - A great, goofy, fun adventure!
Jake Speed is a really fun and cute adventure movie, and with a great actor like John Hurt playing the bad guy, and a really cute Karen Kopins as the lead actress, it is a lot of fun, a cute and fun adventure with some good humor, and I recomend this to anyone who like a fun and funny action/adventure movie, or to those who like movies such as Shanghai Noon or Knight's, other Jackie Chan movies, Ice Pirates, and movies like this, and if you like these you will really enjoy Jake Speed!
Rating: - i can't tell you why,but i have loved this movie from the first time i saw it
this is one of those movies i saw in the blind( knew nothing about it just sat down and watched it) and i was suprised at how much i liked it.
jake speed is a pulp fiction charter(like bond,mack bolan,and others.) when her sister is kidnapped a young woman does as her grandfather asks and calls jake speed,and what do you know,he's real and will help find her sister.
i know a very slim story but the cast makes the most and more of it to come up with this great spoof of pulp novels,action movies,and anything else it can think of. a great comedy,drama,action movie,and even a little romance thrown in. if you give it a chance i think you might like it.

The film Jake Speed (1986) poses an interesting question...what if those action/adventure heroes popularized in the pulp novels (Doc Savage, Mack Bolan, Remo Williams, etc.) were real, and their exploits within the novels were based off their true life adventures? Co-written by Wayne Crawford and Andrew Lane (Lane also directed here), the pair behind the popular 1980s film Valley Girl (1983), the film stars Crawford (White Ghost, The Evil Below) and Karen Kopins (Creator, Once Bitten), who looks a hell of a lot like Erin `Col. Wilma Deering' Gray from the television show "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century". Also appearing is Dennis Christopher (Breaking Away, Chariots of Fire) and John Hurt (Alien, The Elephant Man, V for Vendetta).
The film begins with a lengthy sequence taking place in Paris involving the kidnapping of a young, female American college student (the oversized USC sweater hanging off ... Read More
