You get a little bit of everything in this blaxploitation gem. It starts out like a pretty light-hearted comedy, then turns into a drama and finally ends up being a chainsaw wielding, wild and wooly, bloody revenge flick complete with impalements and a hot curling iron shoved up a gay fellows ass. Plus some great 70's funky tunes. One of the best things I've seen in a while. You can see where the makers of BLACK DYNAMITE must have gotten a load of inspiration from this. Star "Mr. Jonathon" may even give guys like Shaft and Dolemite a run for their money in the bad-ass category. Director Greydon Clark made SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS the next year and WITHOUT WARNING a few years after that. Why is there no statue in honor of this man's greatness?
