Started off interesting, but keeps losing steam until the end.

This doesn't work, but it's like nothing else I've ever seen, including the blaxploitation films that followed in its footsteps. It's really something.

So how does one go about rating this unfathomable mess? It's unlike anything I've ever seen.. No, too positive. It's.. Different? Still positive. Hm.. It's Cinéma Pur! An attempt to defy all rules of standardized "art".. Doubt it. I really don't know what to say.. I was baffled and confuckupied all the same.. Unfairly praised as so many "pioneers" for being "important"- It's not and why care, when it sucks? This is NOT stylish as some mistakenly think but a horny amateur film.. Fun with friends!

While the movie was undeniably important and certainly left its mark, I was surprised at how painful it was to watch. Messy editing, incomprehensible scenes, overlapping music... I started to zone out after 20 minutes. Reading about the production of the movie is definitely more interesting that actually watching it.

Entertaining and historically important. A radical message from a radical film-maker. Of course, the sexism bothered me, and the film is kind of goofy at times, but it ooooooozes style. The handcuffs scene basically rules.

It's amazing than Van Peebles didn't realize that he was undermining his own theses with the hypocritical structure of this film. Overall, this film is pretty lousy and nothing more than a historical curiosity.

Melvin Van Peebles directs and stars in this flick apparently funded with the aid of Bill Cosby. A lot of fun though quite politically incorrect, which is always a bonus when I'm watching a flick. And how cool does Van Peebles look in this flick??? Toe knee :-)

Not a great film, but in a way refreshing because the filmmaker seems to not know or care about what one can and cannot do in movies.

Amateurish in an annoying way. On the second half of the movie, there's mostly filler, boring scenes. And I don't like these racist stereotypes, from both sides, black and white.
