Featured review
The fun, shorter, rifftrax version is on pluto channel. And the less edited, regular version showing on roku channel. Johnnie hill is velvet smooth... the only role she ever did! When someone starts taking their payoff money, the gang goes to a detective agency to get answers. Which is what you do, when someone steals your gang's money! I guess. And of course, bodies start piling up, and the coppers take about three minutes to investigate, then take off. The run time is listed as ninety three minutes in imdb. The pluto version is only seventy four minutes, but on roku, it's ninety three minutes. Pretty big differences. All kinds of cussing, so it wasn't the swears that were cut out on pluto. Lots of badly choreographed gang fight scenes in parking lots. The actors mostly stand around, and sometimes walk to the center and fake fight someone. You'll see rené van clief , who was also in dolemite! Filmed in brooklyn, according to imdb. The picture quality is pretty rough on pluto. For most of the film, there are tiny residual marks of film decay in most of the screen. But they have been cleaned up on roku! Directed by michael fink. One of the two films he directed. And now we know why. It's so bad. No wonder rifftrax mocked it. Certainly interesting as a blacksploitation film from the 1970s.
