Black Belt Jones - Picture and audio quality were good for an old movie compared to similar movies like this. The plotline was not really my style since it was a bit cheesy with the karate but you may enjoy it.

Black Samson - Picture and audio quality were good for an old movie compared to similar movies like this. The plotline was not really my style but you may enjoy it.

This 4 movie set contains a nice selection that defines the genre of black exploitation films from the 1970s.

Black Belt Jones - Jim Kelly, fresh off his stint in Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee, stars in this now-cliche plot about protecting a dojo from the mob. The stunts are cheesy and often comedic, with the final combat scene being a confrontation in a car wash replete with all the gimmicks a lot of suds can provide.
Hot Potato - a sequel to Black Belt Jones, this film is pretty weak compared to the predecessor, and easily the worst out of the 4.
Black Samson - think Shaft, but instead of a private eye, he's a bar owner with a big quarterstaff and a pet lion. His goal is to protect his hood from the drug dealers by uniting the people with his coolness - he even has his own theme song in the Shaft tradition. Over-acting is common here, making some scenes unintentionally funny.
Three the Hard Way - this is the gem of this DVD. Even more ridiculous than the plot is the activities Jim Brown, Jim Kelly, and Fred Williamson get away with. Beating up police officers in broad daylight, gunning down people in a crowded amusement arcade, and even having TWA airlines apparently airlift a van full of explosives and guns at a customer's request.

Obviously, these movies must be watched with light-heartedness and with a sense of historical perspective. Easily offended viewers should avoid this DVD as much of the language is not considered appropriate by today's censorship standards.
