One of the best 'blaxplotation' movies of the'70s, 6 March 2001
10/10
Author: wbhickok (wbhickok@hotmail.com) from San Diego Ca. USA

Three the hard way is one of, if not the best blaxplotation movies to come out of the '70s. Directed by Gordon Parks Jr. (Superfly), it is about three black friends aimed at stopping a white supremisist plot of commiting genocide on the black race by poisoning the water supply. The trio consists of Fred Williamson, Jim 'The Dragon' Kelly and Jim Brown on a non-stop thrill ride, a truly fun movie.
