    Wow, definetly a product of the time. The subject matter should be taken with more grains of salt than I can count. This sucker is through and through exploitation fare.
    This is the first film I've seen by Lee Frost and Wes Bishop and it's about a group of african-americans in W...( read more)atts that make their own people's army to defend against the white oppressors. For a 70s B-action shocker this holds nothing to dissapoint with it's fair share of violent, and for those who are concerned, there's more breasts than blood in this, and there's a bit of blood.
    The last 15 minutes really takes it home although the entire film is directed pretty interestingly and entertainingly.
    This doesn't fall into normal blaxploitation subject matter so it's hard to categorize it as so, but if you are a fan of psychotronic cinema see it.

    Decent story, for its genre...semi decent twists and some comedy violence make this not bad.

    Mack runs the People's Army that lays it to the brothas and hos worse than the white syndicate did. Black Gestapo (if you couldn't already tell by the name) is an exploitation fare; heavy on the violence (although a little light on the blood..someone gets castrated in a bathtube ...( read more)for christsakes & a little gush would have been nice), a half dozen sugar boobies..it even has stock footage of Hitler for crying out loud

    Eh, I was kinda disappointed. But for this kinda movie, I'm surprised I didn't get totally disappointed. Some pretty grim violence, a very generic score, a couple of good pairs of teets, and some general good scene-chewery. Plus, one VERY creative and well-executed killing (I won...( read more)'t give it away, but you'll know it when you see it) that happens part way through the film (so know it's not the buckshot gag at the end) really really sold me on the picture. And hey, a rapist gets his balls cut off and flushed down the toilet! This movie's all right. :D

    really good portrayal of alot of shit that goes on in my mind when i'm "locked in"

    Hardly "good" cinema but more or less a guaranteed good time for exploitation fans, delivering oodles of violence, unpleasantry, nudity, sex, a castration scene and some truly outrageous racial politics. What's not to love?
