Summary: Two black bounty hunters ride into a small town out West in pursuit of an outlaw. They discover that the town has no sheriff, and soon take over that position, much against the will of the mostly white townsfolk. They raise hell, chase women, and milk the locals for cash, while waiting for the opportunity to get their man. (imdb)

Could have used some more sleaze, but this mix of blaxploitation and western isn't too shabby. A fun concept, at least.

Kitschy culture jamming. Course it's necessary for the genre that spawned John Wayne. Maybe you'll get caught up.

Not as horrid as I'd feared, but it still can't really be called "good". Ignore the plot and view it in the context of the decade in which it was produced. This is a western "blaxploitation" film with the black man taking on not just "the man" but everyone who put him down, be they male or female, rich or poor, authority or lawbreaker. What I found most fascinating was how the protagonists acted out black stereotypes even as they fought those who treated them as stereotypes.

Blaxploitation flick set in the Old West, starring Fred Williamson as a shoot-from-the-hip badass bounty hunter who takes over a white town. Nothing terribly original but it's a lot of fun and has some great music.

At its best when it goes with a light-hearted vibe. Williamson is a bit weak, but his deputy (Durville Martin), is hilarious, and the main villain (William Smith) is also good. Sadly, the film is directed and edited poorly; certain scenes don't need to be in here, accomplishing nothing, while others go on for far too long. I also would have liked more fights, and just more worthwhile moments in general. It's watchable, but not even close to the best blaxploitation of that era.
