Ebony, Ivory & Jade

About This Movie

Ebony, Ivory & Jade is quite a curious piece from '76. It's got this rough around the edges vibe that you don't see much anymore. The film dives into the chaos when our trio—Ginger, Pam, and Jackie—gets swept into a kidnap drama against the backdrop of a vibrant Philippines. The pacing is a mixed bag; it starts off slow and then ramps up with some decent action sequences. You can feel the tension build, and the performances have a certain earnestness that draws you in, even if some of the dialogue feels a bit dated. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, do add a gritty charm to the action. There's this interesting blend of friendship and survival that gives it a unique flavor.

This film has had a bit of a rocky road in terms of availability. Originally released on VHS, it hasn't seen a lot of reissues so physical copies are becoming harder to find, especially in good condition. Collector interest seems to be growing, particularly among fans of obscure action films from the '70s. It's one of those titles that might not be on everyone's radar, but for genre enthusiasts, it offers a glimpse into a different cinematic era.
