Jerry Cotton

Jerry Cotton (2010)

La impecable reputación del agente neoyorquino del FBI Jerry Cotton está en entredicho: está acusado de un doble asesinato. ¿Disparó Jerry a Sammy Serrano para vengarse de él al no poder aportar ninguna prueba de su culpabilidad en el robo a la reserva de oro de la Unión? ¿Mató a su compañero Ted Conroy para librarse del único testigo de su crimen? En una carrera contrarreloj, Jerry tiene que escapar de su propia gente, dar con el gangster Klaus Schmidt y su banda y averiguar quién cometió realmente los crímenes con la única ayuda de su Jaguar E-Type rojo, su Smith & Wesson 38 y, de entre todas las personas posibles, su nuevo compañero Phil Decker.

Production

With the success of the OSS 117 spoofs starring Jean Dujardin, such as OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies, German directors Philipp Stennert and Cyrill Boss decided to resurrect Germany's 1960's thriller hero Jerry Cotton in a similar satire.

Unlike OSS 117, this film moves the Bastei Lübbe character to modern times. Nevertheless, the film contains various allusions and cross-references to the originals. For example, the red Jaguar E-Type makes an appearance, Cotton uses his original Smith & Wesson revolver, and numerous names from the original films and paperback novels are used (such as Steve Dillaggio, John Flybert, and Joe Brandenburg).

The Cristallo bar, where Jerry Cotton goes undercover, appears in the second Cotton film, Manhattan Night of Murder (1965), as the bowling alley of a criminal named Christallo . In Mr. High's office there is also a picture of George Nader, the American star of the sixties film series. Jerry's new Jaguar XKR has the license plate JC 1954 - the year in which the first novel was published.

Just like the original films from the sixties, Jerry Cotton was shot in Berlin and Hamburg. Stylized New York skylines and the New York Harbor were created using CGI. Only the helicopter flights over the city and various car rides were shot at original locations in New York.

The name of the head of the FBI supervisory authority, Daryl Zanuck, is a reference to the film producer and screenwriter Darryl F. Zanuck.
