Review of Black Belt Jones (1974) by Stephen C — 08 Aug 2008
An excellent piece of blaxploitation. Jim Kelly plays Black Belt Jones,supercop and bad muthafucka.
When the mafia hires some local thugs to take over a karate school for redevelopment,Black Belt Jones is called on to avenge his teacher and save the school. Bad Muthafuckas always do it for the kids! I suspect ass might also have a little bit to do with it to.
While the martial arts and acting aren't that great. This movie makes up for it a shit ton in one-line dialogue,crotch-punching action scenes, and humor. I won't even get into the more-funk-than-a-body-in-a-trunk soundtrack. Oh, did I mention Scatman Crothers plays Pops,the gambling n' womanizing Karate teacher? Hell yeah,Mofo!!!
Time to watch me some Black Caesar now.
