The Jade Pussycat is a 1977 pornographic film starring John Holmes.
Paul Thomas Anderson, director of Boogie Nights, recommended that his cast watch the film to prepare for their roles, stating, "'This is like Hitchcock doing a porno.
'"[1] Paul Wexley (Jon Martin) comes off of a cargo ship carrying a black bag.
Soon after Paul orgasms, a gun is placed on the back of his head by 2 Chinese men, and he is forced to leave with them.
The next scene shows Laureen (Paula Wain) fellating Johnny Wadd (John Holmes).
The next scene shows Mueller (Steve Balint) receiving "The Jade Pussycat" from Jasmine.
Mueller orders Jasmine to get him the real Jade Pussycat or she will not be paid.
When John enters the room, he looks through the things and finds that two toothbrushes were left even though Paul was supposedly alone.
She tells John that he used the money to sneak a priceless antique out of Japan.
In the next scene, Jasmine and the two men she was with are trying to wake up a drugged Paul, to find out what he did with the real Jade Pussycat.
Jasmine sends her goon, Tang, to the location of Paul's ex-girlfriend's business.
Tang enters her backyard, looks through her window and finds her masturbating with a vibrator.
As Jasmine is about to shoot John, a homeless "hippie" walks through the door and is accidentally shot.
John then grabs the gun out of Jasmine's hand and puts it to her head.
John puts the Jade Pussycat back in the black bag and takes it with him.
When John reaches for them, she knocks him unconscious and steals the black bag, taking it to Mueller.
John wakes up and pulls the real black bag out of a cabinet that contains the Jade Pussycat.
Something tells me that I should just throw it in the bay and be done with it, but again I'm only human and this thing is worth a lot of money."
