DanTheMan 2 Dec 9 For a film about three Blaxploitation legends killing a seemingly never ending legion of Neo-Nazis, you'd think Three the Hard Way would be a lot more bonkers than it actually is. Instead it's a gloriously soulful mixtape of funk, fists, and polyester swagger all solidly directed by Gordon Parks Jr. There's an upbeat comic energy permeating throughout thanks to its charismatic performances and proliferation of entertaingly larger-than-life action sequences, yet, despite a second act that contains its fair share of lulls, Three the Hard Way boasts a pervasively affable feel that ensures its missteps remain mostly easy enough to overlook, with the final result an unabashedly fun endeavor that never entirely outstays its welcome. See more 07/07/2020 I remember going to see this movie when it first came out years ago. Now I find myself watching again. I laugh at the jive talking. But I love seeing Jim Kelly, Jim Brown and Fred Williamson in action. The Bad and the Doctor should have been in more together. See more 02/24/2018 Squandered potential with a great villain and mediocre justice. See more N L 09/12/2017 this is one of my favorite black 70s movies. it has all the typical aspects of this sort of film; funky music, nudity, fist fights, gun fights, car chases, cars blowing up, and an overly complicated plot. it also has kung fu. i like how easily the cars blow up in this movie. like you could just go over a speed bump back in them days and your car would explode. i also love when three badass topless chicks show up to torture a guy See more 02/18/2017 The soundtrack is a classic, period. See more 01/30/2016 An LA music producer (Jim Brown) runs afoul of a paramilitary organization that plans to kill every black person in America by introducing a disease to the water supply. They kill his buddy and kidnap his lady love (Sheila Frazier), but the bad guys didn't count on their quarry calling in a karate master (Jim Kelly) and a weapons expert (Fred WIlliamson) for backup. Three The Hard Way was directed by Gordon Parks Jr. after his success with Superfly and, while it didn't make as much impact, this blaxploitation effort is noteworthy for how its threadbare plot is strung up by frequent car chases, constant explosions, numerous gun fights, cheesy overacting, kung fu grappling, and a very bizarre pretext to feature topless women. Three The Hard Way is pulpy sleaze, but that's part of the fun. See more Read all reviews
