7/10
Black Heroes
17 February 2019
Entertaining though somewhat lame action film Blaxplotation.

Starring Jim Brown, Fred Williamson and the charismatic martial artist Jim Kelly, eternally remembered for his participation in the great martial arts film, Operation Dragon, along with the legendary and ill-fated Bruce Lee, the demolition is a film of pure and simple action.

It does not live in marginal places or deal with obscure characters like many other films of its genre but it has a strong pop air, with a very good and colorful photograph.

Here is a film of shootings, persecutions and explosions, where the goal is to rescue the damsel in distress, kidnapped by evil whites, as is usual in the genre, whose goal is nothing less than eradicating the black race.

Of course, the three black heroes will try to prevent it.

There is practically no script or a deep story or anything like it, this is pure cinema of evasion, pure fun, with anthological moments and without much sense, like the three punishing girls, which are the best, the funniest and most interesting of the film by far .

The film however stands out for introducing elements of martial arts within the genre in an attempt to bring something new and novel when Blaxplotation and the martial arts genre were at the peak of their popularity.

The film then, it is entertaining and curious but not for that reason it is quite simple and without much substance.

With everything it is seen quite well.
