Review: A fantastic solo performance from Jim "The Man" Kelly. Just sit back, and watch the master at work, Mr. Hann-man!!

Summary: HOT!
Review: According to other reviews on this movie, you should not get the DVD. The VHS, however, is GREAT! If you like Martial Arts & Blaxploitation (Enter the Dragon, The Mack, Coffy), you must experience this movie. Hilarious and exciting at the same time! Jim Kelly's character is classic. He's even better in Black Belt Jones. This is some funky stuff! It even has the guy who played Isaac from the Love Boat!

Summary: Mystery Science Theatre 3000 would have fun with this one...
Review: Black Samurai aka (THE BLACK TERMINATOR as its called on some VHS tapes) is billed as an action movie, but it comes off as a comedy. This movie is so laughably bad it's just funny.
70's martial arts star Jim Kelly is Robert Sand, agent For DRAGON, some type of spy organization sent on a mission to resucue Toki, his girlfriend. During his mission, Sand fights rednecks, little people, a vulture, and a slightly effeminate henchman named Bone on his way to Janicott, the white male head of an organization that practices voodoo. This film will have your stomach hurting from laughing so hard. Many of the scenes are just as absurd as the premise. The stuntwork and poorly dubbed in dialougue is hilarious. The action onscreen makes you react by making crass comments and jokes.
Had this been made today it would make for a fun video game. As a movie it's good if you want to invite some friends over and have a MIST (Mystery Science Theatre 3000) party with a bowl of popcorn and lots of soda.

Summary: What a terrible film !!!!!!!!!!
Review: First of all let me say I love Jim Kelly but this movie is just plain awful, the acting is the worst i have ever seen and even the fights not the best Jim has ever done.
I actually turned the film off half way through because I was so bored with the story line.
Thank god Jim did "Black Belt Jones" !!

Summary: BRENTWOOD DVD EDITION IS CENSORED FOR LANGUAGE AND NUDITY
Review: First of all, let me say that this is my favorite movie of all time. That being said, when I pay good money for a DVD of a movie I don't expect some garbage censored version of it. They edited out all the swearing and nudity in the film. Also, besides two very lame text bio's, there are no special features. I reccommend getting a lousy 3rd generation VHS copy of the ORIGINAL version over purchasing this DVD.

Summary: Waiting A Long Time
Review: I first saw this movie on VHS back in the early 90s. It was so horrible, I remember my buddy and I were almost sick with laughter. Many reviews talk about the bad editing job on the DVD - but I remember the VHS version being just as horrible, which made the movie even more halarious. I'm sort of glad the swearing & nudity are gone so that I can show this sad piece to my son. I can't wait to see the jet-pack scene with his afro-fitted helmet.

Summary: LOVE THE MOVIE, BUT THEY'VE CUT IT
Review: I have the older video copy of this and it's BAD, but fun. Looks like the newer VHS and DVD copies have been badly cut. Too bad! We need an uncut version of this on DVD! Try to find older versions and enjoy the great fights and silly crap served up with the original [***], Kelly's colorful use of language and some good old fashion sex and violence. The "G rated" version they have out on DVD is absurd.

Summary: Lots of fun and some really good Vulture-Fu
Review: I once again come to write a review on one of my favorites and find out that the DVD version that I own is all cut up!! How did I miss all these greats on VHS?!?!? Anyway, I'm over it... First off this movie has awesome fight scenes, including a great one of Jim Kelly vs a Vulture, and the final fight scene which is dubbed so horribly, you can't even tell who is supposed to be talking sometimes. And it has the BEST jet pack scene ever in a movie. As much as I'm dissapointed that I missed all the of the nudity and Bad Language, I still love this movie very much. And it will always have a special place on my shelf right next to "Nine Deaths of the Ninja" and "Petey Wheatstraw: The Devil's Son-In-Law"
