      Black Eye marked the first teaming of Fred Williamson and director Jack Arnold
      So it's now years after previously watching the other movie director Jack Arnold and star Fred Williamson did together which was Boss N!gger which they actually made after this one. That one I found a lot of fun. This one is also pretty exciting but it may disappoint anyone who expect some nudity or really intense action for a '70s Blaxploitation picture. Fred is a private detective who gets mixed up in a porno ring and religious cult because of some cane from a late movie star. All I'll mention now is that I mostly enjoyed this one especially when Williamson encounters such familiar faces like Richard "Oscar Goldman" Anderson, Teresa "Laugh-In" Graves before then starring in "Get Christie Love", and Teddy "Sweet Daddy" Wilson which he would play on "Good Times" a little later in the decade. So that's a recommendation for Black Eye.
