As much as we love to say that things never change in Hollywood, one can always tell a great deal about a specific era based on the films that were produced in it. Though it’s hard to think of the early and mid 90s as the past, one can already easily note the vastly different character of mainstream films’ sensibilities towards race and sex between then and now. Case in point is Jade, a film whose audience had already vanished by the time it was released and is somewhat perplexingly being released on Blu-ray. Released the same year as such other triumphs of moderate budgeting and sensible plotting as Cutthroat Island, Showgirls, and Waterworld, Jade is a relic of a Hollywood in flux between the testosterone and sex-fueled 80s and the franchise and spectacle-driven 00s.
