5.0 out of 5 stars Jim Kelly Sets the Stage for His Masterpiece "Hot Potato", December 17, 1998
By A Customer
If you don't believe that Jim Kelly is a master actor, you will after seeing "Black Belt Jones". He manages to pull off the cheesiest movie ever made in two different genres: kung-fu and blaxploitation. This film is truly an artifact of the '70s (check out that theme music!) and is much more deserving of being revived in the '90s than disco. A real gem--where else can you see a respected government agent who is also a master of karate fight drug dealers and the Mafia--wearing a leisure suit? My favourite part was when the evil gang leader and drug dealer (aren't all villians in early-'70s action movies evil drug lords or gang leaders?) is crushed in a garbage compressor--but still manages to scream his defiance AFTER the fact. A masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously, WB. Where's the DVD????????, November 26, 2004
By Jim Kelly Fan (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
Hands down a absolute classic of blaxploitation and martial arts. The opening credits alone is more fun than most of the movies out today.
However, I haven't seen this movie is over ten years, because I'm waiting for the DVD. Anyone at WB care to comment? This is a shameful omission.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Enter the Dragon: "I'll be too busy looking good"
Jim Kelly should have taken over when his partner(Bruce Lee) left us. Jim made everyone in da' house start Kung Fu fighting. If you don't have a Blaxploitation movie, this is it.
