Jake Speed is a 1986 American action adventure comedy film directed and produced by Andrew Lane, with Wayne Crawford, and William Fay.

One problem exists: Jake Speed is a character in a series of men's adventure paperback novels in the vein of Mack Bolan and Remo Williams (Doc Savage is also named checked, but he is said to have been out of the game for years).

However, Jake Speed does exist, as Margaret finds out, when he leaves a note for her to meet him and his sidekick, Desmond Floyd (Dennis Christopher), in a tough Paris bar.

Jake and Des must now rescue both Maureen and Margaret, stop Sid, and help the girls get out in one piece, while dealing with warring factions, pits of lions, and machine gun-firing helicopters.
