Two things that stick out to me about this movie: 1. Bernie Casey plays the smooth sex-machine to all the chicks main character here and since I mainly identify him with the title role in DR. BLACK AND MR. HYDE, where he plays Mr. Hyde with not very much makeup at all besides some white powder on his mug, it makes it tough to see him as the irresistible ladies man this movie wants us to believe he is. 2. Pam Grier plays one of the bad guys in this, which is something I've never seen her do before. Besides these 2 weird aspects it's a pretty rudimentary tale of Casey trying to find out what happened to his brother that resulted in him ending up dead. It's a blaxploitation version of the movie GET CARTER which was released the prior year. Someone gets fed to a lion at one point. I should probably check out the original at some point just to see if that happens in that version also.
