David Aaron Clark is no longer with us, but that doesn't excuse his ill treatment of the late, great jazz artist John Coltrane in this irreverent anti-homage. Even the title is misspelled (on purpose or by a slip) in the end credits as "Asia Noir V: A Love Supreme", ripping off the title of Trane's classic 1964 jazz LP, while the end credits lamely list "apologies to John Coltrane".
Clark provides his own jazz score to the feature, which is a combination of a poorly done Blaxploitation type movie within a movie (playing at a cinema, on location at the real New Beverly Cinema under the "Asia noir V" title), viewed in the audience by sexy Asia, who later services several Black patrons in a gang bang there.
Film within a film stars Tia Tanaka, a beautiful girlfriend for tenor saxophonist Dick James, who is auditioning for gangster/club owner Guy DiSilva to earn a gig. DiSilva callously confiscates Tia for his harem, and plenty of interracial sex scenes result. Film climaxes with a poorly staged (replete with Green Screen EFX) fantasy stolen from Giulio Montaldo's classic 1978 movie "Closed Circuit", with Tia in fetish gear and packing a gun stepping out of the screen to confront Asia in the movie audience.
Clark rode the niche genre of Black studs/Asian beauties porn during his career, and some of his movies, notably Asia Noir VI lifted from a classic Harlan Ellison "Outer Limits" episode, wear well. But his mixture of porn with film school pretentiousness is hard to watch or defend.
