Summary: A WELL-PLOTTED HORROR FILM
Review: A 1940'S GANGSTER COMES BACK TO LIFE THROUGH THE BODY OF A LAW STUDENT [GLYNN TURMAN]. VERY THRILLING AND HAS A GOOD PLOT. THIS BLACK HORROR MOVIE SHOULD BE ENJOYED BY HORROR FANS OF ANY COLOR. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS MOVIE.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: J.D. Walker the boss talker
Review: Because my nickname is JD i had to get this title. The movie is ok and is worth buying. I don't know if it was meant as a comedy but that is what it was for me. Don't expect too much with this one, rather take what you get.

Summary: A Real Surprise! This Supernatural Thriller Is!
Review: Devoted fan of Soul Cinema Collection, I was not a little glad to find "J.D.'s Revenge" another hidden gem of the series. Not exactly a blaxploitation work (though originally released from American International, company famous for Pam Grier's movies), "J.D.'s Revenge" is a rivetting shocker that has still considerable power to grip your heart.

Set in modern New Orleans, the film tells a story of a law school student working as a taxi driver, Ike (Turnan, superb acting). One day, just for fun, he and his friends decide to see a hypnotist's show, in which Ike volunteers to be on the stage. Being hypnotized as part of the show, however, he sees something very weird ... and his plight begins. Haunted by the repeated nightmarish vision, he starts to behave like someone else. Or, maybe, he really became another person....

The film uses fine locations of New Orleans, and all the cast give their great performance. Most notable is Turnan, whose changing personality compels you to keep watching the film; also good is Gosset Jr. (credited as Lou Gosset) as a preacher who has a secret in his past (though his part is smaller than Tarnan) Though made with low budget, "J.D.'s Revenge" entertains you more than you expect. But note: the film is very violent, and sometimes repellent (one character is physically assaulted, and the scene is painful to watch). Still, the vitality of the film is undeniable. My only complaint is its banal title and a little flat ending. The film's good, though.

Summary: THIS WAS A SURPRISING FUN MOVIE TO WATCH
Review: DURING THE SO CALLED BLACK FILM ERA;OFTHE 70'S THIS WAS ONE OF THE BETTER MADEBUT,ALAS LEAST WATCHED MOVIES OF THAT-PERIOD .

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Endless Repetition...
Review: I first saw this in the late 70's while on a USN ship in the Med. It was a good distraction - and absolutely hilarious! In those days, the crews would exchange movies while underway via a large canvas bag. We'd send our "viewed" movies to another ship in exchange for the movies they'd seen.
EVERY EXCHANGE we'd end up with a copy of J.D.'s Revenge and Revenge of the B Girls. J.D.'s Revenge was so funny that the crew and wardroom watched it nearly every night for nearly 6 months. In a few months, nearly everyone had memorized the entire movie. It was like J.D. was taking over the crew...
Yup. Life was much harsher in the "Old Navy". How could anyone NOT want such an enjoyable (and quotable) movie?

Rating: 4 stars
