Sonja C This movie was so horrible it's funny but I couldn't quit watching it. I watched until the end for some unknown reason! Lol!!!! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/22 Full Review Audience Member It has the production values of a porno, and it does tend to make you wonder what the purpose of this film was. It's hilariously bad, yet barely watchable for that factor alone. The characters are goofy, the action is awful, and it never fixes on a story-line. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This could have been better. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is so horrible it's hilarious. I don't think I've ever seen so many flubbed lines in one film. I don't know why they didn't re-shoot some scenes. Often it felt like we were watching the first rehearsal of an improved script. This film has the worst on-screen fighting I've ever seen in a movie, and it could possibly be the worst ever filmed! Most of the actors had absolutely no personality and seemed to be struggling to remember their lines. The camera work was terrible and seemed to often been filmed from too far away. The movie starts in the middle of a scene and ends when the lead character just says he has more work to do. This is just a terrible, terrible movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A guy from Harlem rescues a kidnapped woman from a drug kingpin. Porno movies of the same era had better acting, direction and production values (and more action). This is bottom-of-the-barrel blaxploitation. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Even with Rifftrax, this was excruciating. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
