マイティジャック (1987) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 1987, マイティジャック is an action, science-fiction and téléfilm film directed by Kazuho Mitsuta, running about 90 minutes. “Fighting Terrorism on Land, Under The Sea and in Outer Space” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. The organization Mighty Jack is formed to combat the criminal syndicate known as "Q", and are given a large array of advanced weapons, chief among them being a high-tech submarine. Harold Hatari is abducted by Q, and Mighty Jack is dispatched to rescue him. Hatari is interrogated and threatened with blinding lights, but the Mighty Jack crew rescue him in the nick of time. Later, Q is discovered to be using "hot ice" (water that remains solid at room temperature) to create weapons and a secret ocean base disguised as an iceberg (though it's not precisely clear how hot ice could be a major world threat). Q then attempts to take over the Mighty Jack sub.
