This is a sequel to the classic Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson blaxploitation flick BLACK CAESAR and like many sequels it's basically just a not-as-good imitation of the original. Everything from the soundtrack(the original was by James Brown and this one kinda sounds like someone imitating James Brown) to the plot pales in comparison. There's also one strange scene where The Hammer kills a guy and cartoon blood comes out of the unfortunate fellow in a strange proto-ROGER RABBIT moment. Also, not to ruin BLACK CAESAR for anyone out there who hasn't seen it in the last 40 years, but at the end of that movie Williamson seems very dead so there shouldn't even be a sequel. There are some decent action scenes here though including one with a kung fu bikini-gal so it's probably worth checking out for that or just if you're a fan of 'The Hammer'.
