Jim Kelly Blaxploitation
29 April 2023
Black Belt Jones (Jim Kelly) is kicking criminals and working with the government. The Mafia is buying up land where the City is planning to build a new civic center. They recruit black thug drug-dealer Pinky. The karate school run by Pop Byrd (Scatman Crothers) is holding out. His daughter Sydney (Gloria Hendry) is secretly the owner.

This is a sorta spinoff from Enter the Dragon in which Jim Kelly has a supporting role. In this one, Jim Kelly is the lead and he's trying to be the black Bruce Lee. It's Blaxploitation. The fighting is fine. The acting is alright. Jim Kelly is a functional lead. Nothing is standing out. It's mostly fine.
