Jamaican police detective comes to America in search of three elusive bandits who have absconded with the Queen's jewels. Detective Colonel Stevens (Leo Wilson) always gets his man. When Bandit (Hurricane Gilbert), Massive (Jon "Ras Kidus" MacFarlane), and Vincent (Bogle Dread) flee to Oakland, California with the priceless jewels, Detective Colonel Stevens gives chase. Upon arriving stateside, the detective finds that Bandit has is in jail. Now, in order to track down Massive and Vincent, the loose-cannon lawman springs Bandit from the pen, and hits the streets. The harder Detective Colonel Stevens pushes bandit to lead him to the jewels, however, the more the wily outlaw works to steer the cop awry. Meanwhile, Massive works to persuade Vincent to reveal where the jewels are hidden, assembling a gang to strike back at this former partner-in-crime after he refuses to talk. Little does Massive realize that Vincent is fully prepared to fight back, and protect his fortune at all costs.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
