      Audience Member 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! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/22 Full Review Audience Member The semi-soft-core blaxploitation is more fun when you imagine the whole thing takes place on the day of Nixon's 1968 election. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly blaxploitation film is dull and boring. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review evan g You couldn't even give this one the "so bad it's good" label. Homophobic, lurid, horribly acted, and taking itself way, way too seriously, this is actually memorably awful and I generally love these 70's flicks in spite of their flaws. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Ludicrously silly but fun blaxploitation. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
