About
Michael Kane's portrayal of a detective was filmed in 1988, exactly 100 years before the film was released - from August 31, 1888 to November 9, 1888, during a period of nearly two months, five prostitutes died in a city in London. The killer's method of killing is extremely cruel. It once caused panic among the surrounding citizens. After the full efforts of the police, the detective starring Michael Kane made every effort to apprehend and obtained some clues. As a result, five suspects were identified one after another. But released without conclusive evidence. So more than a hundred years later, it is still impossible to know what the truth was at that time... (This is a remastered movie version of the mini series "Killer Jack", which is a collection of two parts).
