The feature debut of Lanfia Wal, this lo-fi action comedy takes viewers on a journey into the seedy criminal underbelly of New Jack City. When the girlfriend of disgraced cop Dylan Gamble (Andre Hall) is kidnapped, he enlists the help of the man he arrested (Paul Wheeler) and smooth criminal Lesley Kindall (Michael Trapson) to take on the fearsome forces of the Styles Syndicate…between commercial breaks, that is.
Writer/director Wal serves as the film’s production designer and editor, while also working on its extensive VFX, too. Shot against green screen, its neon-drenched world is a loving tribute to the trashy made-for-TV movies of the 1980s, sharing inspiration with side-scrolling beat ’em ups like “Streets of Rage.” Completing the pastiche, the pitch-perfect faux commercials make this feel like something recorded from broadcast onto VHS, rediscovered after years spent in a forgotten box under the bed.
Wal’s fingers being in all the pies ensures a sense of cohesion, never relenting from the gag. The actors gamely commit, delivering ridiculous lines with straight faces and ostentatious wardrobes, utilizing a Schwarzenegger’s worth of military hardware in the chaotic action sequences. New Jack Fury is a dynamite work of blaxploitation-inspired absurdism, delivered with absolute sincerity.
