Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Couldn't get a laugh out of me.
-
Phil Hall, Film Threat
A noisy, flashy, wicked kaleidoscope that mercilessly parodies the blaxploitation genre and Hollywood's miserable stereotypes of African-Americans.
-
Shane Burridge, rec.arts.movies.reviews
Nearly everything it needs for status as a cult classic except a star turn in the lead role
