01/18/2022 This movie is a “campy” 1970s classic. In keeping with the genre of time: invite a friend over, roll a fatty and curl up under a blanket and go with it. Mr. Johnston would be welcome to do my hair any day!

See more 01/13/2014 Watched this one immediately after Shampoo, because I was anxious to get that taste out of my mouth, and I'll be damned if this one didn't just blow me away from start to finish. Well worth tracking down, this one has some great music, fun action, great fashions and some cute ladies. Recommended. See more 07/30/2013 As far as blaxploitation films go, Black Shampoo is not a very good one. It's an attempt to cash in on the success of Hal Ashby's Shampoo, which is about a virile white hairdresser in the form of Warren Beatty. It's pretty much the same concept for this movie, but my goodness, did they ever lose it with the script and secondary characters. First of all, there's a couple of overtly gay men working in the styling salon who get beat up by the mob pretty often. Second, there's a scene featuring a "Bar-B-Que" (which is actually how they say it), featuring people in costumes, people naked and, best of all, there is no BBQ. Instead, there's fried chicken. Anyways, there's lots of crazy stuff in this movie and it is flat-out unintentionally hilarious. I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil all the fun. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's a fan of bad movies with lots of unintentional hilarity, because it delivers, but blaxploitation fans can pass it up. See more Read all reviews
