Well worth a look for 70s blaxploitation fans, 21 November 2000
7/10
Author: eegah-3 (eegah@hotmail.com) from Minneapolis, MN

The groovy threads, jive talk and funky music are all present but Tarkington just doesn't have the presence of a Jim Brown or Fred Williamson. Dependable bad-guy William Smith performs with his usual gusto though. The supporting cast of 70s exploitation actresses like Carol Speed and Connie Strickland will add enjoyment for fans of 70s drive-in/grindhouse cinema.
