Boring Crap-Fest, 25 August 1999
1/10
Author: DrSatan from Waltham, MA

This is one of the worst blaxploitation flicks I have seen. More incompetent than Disco Godfather. Tries to be an action/skin flick; fails at both. Starts with lots of skin, although one of the women is just not attractive in any sense. Goes through the motions with an "evil white mobsters" plot that goes nowhere. Half the movie is dialogue free montoge to music that, mercifully, is easy enough to fast forward. The ending sequence with the chainsaw killings and poker-cue as spear ripped straight from "Sweet Sweet Back" are violent enough I guess. Only really amusing feature is the ridiculous dialogue given to the hairdressers; but even this is soured by an unnecessary curling iron as anal probe sequence. Avoid this picture at all costs; I wish I did.
