time doesn't help a bad flick to be hip.......2005-09-17

this is minus 10 in "z" zone with this very poor and dull blaxploitation film . Everything looks cheap , from acting to action parts. Screenplay could have been interesting but stays in the around the main subject without getting really into it . Time doesn't need to be wasted by spending 90 minutes to watch this...

Undiscovered Blaxploitation Gold.......2003-07-12

Fans of Blaxploitation will be more than satisfied with this DVD double feature. "The Black Gestapo" is a mean, nasty race-riot of a movie. A benevolent police group, the People's Army, attempts to aid the citizens of Watts, who are being terrorized by what appears to be a mob of bitter appliance salesmen. There's dissention in the army's ranks, however, and a splinter group made up of local criminals forms to run the white mob out of Watts (one wise guy is castrated in his bathtub, another is run off the road by a breast-baring Uschi Digart and shot up by the gang). The mob retreats, but this new People's Army takes their place, shaking down the citizens and having drunken orgies at their new compound (where Ms. Digart shows up again in the leader's bed). "Gestapo" is directed by R.L. (Lee) Frost, who directed such exploitation gems as "The Defilers," "The Pick-Up" and "Love Camp #7." This one's not as stylish as his earlier roughies, but he keeps the story moving with brisk pacing and plenty of sex n' violence (though mostly violence). There's not a single one of "The Black Gestapo"'s 88 minutes that's politically correct.

By comparison, "The Black Six" is an After School Special, focusing on a good-natured biker gang of six Viet Nam vets (all played by pro football players, including "Mean" Joe Green) who are riding across the U.S., doing odd jobs for weak-chinned farm women or terrifying bigots at a poorly constructed roadside cafe (our heroes literally bring down the clapboard restaurant while its owner--a part I'm sure was originally written for Shelley Winters--stands by the road shrieking). The beating death of one of the brother's brother takes the guys back to a hick town to avenge his murder. By this point, you'll have heard the theme song about 12 times. You'll hear it 12 more times before the final credits. Bad acting, silly dialog and extreme afros all lead to a totally incomprehensible ending. All this hilarity is brought to us by director Matt Cimber, who later went on to direct the Pia Zadora potboiler "Butterfly," which is, in view of "The Black Six," an accomplished film.

No fan of Blaxploitation can afford not to see these movies. The entertainment value is double the cost of the DVD!

Great Social Comentary.......2003-07-11

Black Gestapo is a great social commentary. I would rank it with Animal Farm. It shows the dangerous of the black militant movement. In the movie a black militant , but non-violent organization hires outside help for protection. They warant this unit unlike any other in the group to use force to push out the opperessing mafia. Unfortuneatly, they become more crooked than the mafia. I love how the movie put extreme black radicalism in the same boat as the nazis movement. It was a wake - up call to me and many others.

The Black Six was a little lighter. It was about cool bikes and football player. It was good none the less.

A Strange Little Gem.......2003-02-24

First, I'll admit that the only reason I bought this film was because Uschi Digard was creditted in it (anD, well, I found it cheap :-).

This is a strange little story about black revolutionaries, Panther styled, that split groups. One becomes very domineering and tyranical, which leads them to greater power. The other are the good guys who keep their revolution's ideals in sight. The two finally duke it out.

Its Ghetto, Its Ridiculous, Its the Black Gestapo!.......2000-07-12

This movie is a classic. The fight scenes are great too. They are so loud and amplified, but the gutbuster is so great. Another great fight scene is the collar belt buckle through a window. One word sums up this movie, WILD. You should check this movie out, the acting is awful and their is too much unnecessary nudity in it. Madd ghetto budget too, but all around worth checking out. Ok, buy this movie and you won't regret it, know I didn't.

This Movie is halairious!.......2000-07-05

Black Gestapo was made in 1975, and it was very low budget. Honestly, I think that the camera work is terrible, but I give it 4 stars stil- for a reason. The movie is about a group of black people who become angry at the racist views of these idiodic white cops. So they form a group, and at first it kind of sounds like they want to promote peace a equal rights, but it turns out they are really just causing violence. This movie is fun to watch though because the fighting scenes are very humorous, I really am not sure if they are supposed to be or not though. It is not supposed to be funny, but you will laugh at the very fake and very amplified punch sounds in the fight scenes, and the 70s funk music while they fight. This movie is very violent, very low budget, there are a lot of mistakes, and has a lot of unnecisary nudity in it, but it is worth a laugh!
