Melvin Van Peebles wrote, directed, starred, gaffed, gripped, filmed,
edited, boomed and I can only surmised catered this film which can
only be described as the other side of Blaxploitation where the
realities experienced by the black population was the point of
exploration. Unlike most of the Blaxploitation films this effort made
no bones about which side of the debate it held and the depictions
against both overt and systematic white on black racism were all let
loose.
It was never considered a particularly good film but then one has to
question given the content and context could it have been viewed in
any other way by the mainstream critics.
Note John Amos of Good Times fame in one of his earliest roles.
