This is typical and by the numbers in every way. It technically is a blaxploitation movie, but could also be considered just a straight up kung fu film. Given the generic plot (revenge, drugs, prostitution(, you may not even need to give it either of those signifiers, and just call it a general exploitation film that
happens to feature lots of afros and martial arts.This is a really unremarkable film, but I give it and extra half star since it is still somehow watchable and mildly amusing. And there's boobs. That helps. Aside form that, the plot is average and predictable, the editing sucks, the print looks awful (needs some remastering), and the writing, directing and acting leave a lot to be desired. There's some nice location shoting though. That helps.Most fiolms like this are bad, but this one is bad even by those standards. Parts of it are entertaining, but somehow a lot of it is also boring. See it if you have to, but it doesn't really warrant repeat watches.
