Jack le Magnifique (1979)
Singapour, années 1970. Italo-américain vétéran de la guerre de Corée, le débonnaire Jack travaille officiellement pour un armateur, mais espère rentrer un jour au pays, fortune faite, grâce à la maison close grand luxe qu'il a ouverte pour une clientèle occidentale. Le succès de l'établissement déplaît à la pègre chinoise locale, qui le met à sac après avoir exécuté l'un des employés. Eddie Schuman, un compatriote qui travaille pour le gouvernement américain, offre alors à Jack les rênes d'un lieu de plaisir pour les permissionnaires de la guerre du Viêtnam.
