 Rating:  - NON-STOP ACTION 70'S BLACK MOVIE!!!!!!!!I Remember when I saw the blaxploitation movie called Shaft and it was SOOO SLOW and BORING!! I was looking for a funny action packed black movies from the 70's!!! Then I saw Slaughter and guess what! My search was over!! This movie is FUNNY AND WITH A VENGANCE!!!

It turns out Slaughter's dad (it's never explicitly stated, but he was apparently involved in a mild hustle, like the numbers) somehow stumbled upon a computer printout of a Mob operation's payoff roster.

I'd never seen SLAUGHTER but caught it recently on a movie channel. To be honest, I watched it for only one reason: ...

It was great to see an old 70's action movie with Jim Brown and the gorgeous Stella Stevens (the ladies today don't even compare)... Highly recommended. Derek Hutton Johannesburg South Africa |
