Blackenstein (1973)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
A black man has his arms and legs blown off in Vietnam but Dr. stein puts him back together again using his DNA potion. However, an crazy assistant injects him with another potion, which turns him into a monster. I had heard this was one of the worst films ever made but I didn't find it that bad. If you enjoy bad drive-in flicks then you should get a few laughs out of this thing. Being blaxploitation, it's mostly dumb white people being killed by the monster but the stereotypes are rather hilarious. The monster looks very stupid but the death scenes are rather brutal, although the special effects are a joke. I would tell you how the monster dies at the end but you really need to see if for yourself.
