Line 18:

'''''I, the Jury''''' is a [[1982 in film|1982]] film based on the best selling detective [[I, the Jury|novel of the same name]] by [[Mickey Spillane]]. The story was previously filmed in 3D in 1953. Larry Cohen wrote the screenplay and was first hired to direct the film but was replaced when the film's budget was already out of control after one week of shooting.

The film begins with a James-Bond-like teaser opening before the story begins. The plot involves P.I. Hammer discovering that a friend, Jack Williams a one-armed detective, has been murdered and he begins investigating in an attempt to find out what happened. It turns out that there is a serial rapist involved as well as a sex therapy clinic headed up by sexy Dr. Charlotte Bennett (Carrera). The plot also contains, but not in the novel, government conspiracies and mind-control techniques by the CIA and the Mafia.
