Raymond (Roy Jefferson), Junior (Haskell V. Anderson III) and Ned (Le Tari) are three black friends who experience the crucible of war in Vietnam, then return home to their small Southern town where racial prejudice is alive and well. Motivated to change things, the men start a voter registration drive in their community, which angers local whites. Klansmen soon appear, and when the local sheriff is shot dead, all semblance of law and order evaporates.

Audience Member 68% See the Washington Redskins take on the KKK. The speech about Communism kicked ass. And the climatic "war" on hate mongers was pretty sweet as well. -Get Off Your High Horse- Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member (16%) Pretty awful blaxploitation flick that's void of any quality or worth. The plot may sound good fun in a sleazy kind of way, but the movie itself is boring, poorly lit, slow, poorly acted (even for a cheap 70's cash-in) and not worth watching. Keep away. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than average exploitation flick, Brotherhood of Death finds black Vietnam vets going to war with the KKK. Right up there with Fight for Your Life as a foot-stompin', cheer stoking good time as racist whitey gets the shit end of the stick. Bonus: Dudley's dad from Diff'rent Strokes stars. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Joyless, run of the mill Blaxploitation picture. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member See them avenge the death of a Brother, the rape of a sister, and the murder of their only honky friend. Brotherhood of Death has a very thin plot and hardly any character development. Considering this, the acting really isn't that bad when compared to the more popular exploitation flicks of the genre. The Vietnam stock footage is an obvious grainy contrast to the rest of the film quality, whereas other parts of "Vietnam" seemed to be filmed in someone's backyard. There are a considerable amount of racial slurs from both sides, which really don't come as a surprise considering the topic. Some made me burst out laughing along with it, if that was the intention. I found the action enjoyable and the pacing was done well enough that kept me from changing the channel. <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/?action=view¤t=brotherhoodofdeath.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/brotherhoodofdeath.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A very interesting blaxploiation that is pretty engrossing.
