Editorial Reviews

A successful and popular nightclub owner who believes financial independence is the path to equality and success must act as a go-between for his militant-minded brother and the white gang syndicate his brother has attacked and robbed. Their involvements lead to a breathless race-course chase, the destruction of a dope pusher and a violent waterfront climax. Stars Academy Award® Winner Martin Landau (1995, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Ed Wood) and Jim Brown (Any Given Sunday, Mars Attacks!, The Running Man).

3.0 out of 5 stars Takin' it to the Man!, October 13, 2005

By 

Rob "Coolerking" (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black Gunn (DVD)

If you're tired (like me) of The Man keepin' you down, then Jim Brown is the brother you got to dig! Black Gunn is a satisfying slice of Mob mayhem vs. righteous dudes. Takin' it upside the head is Martin Landau as the Mob boss, doing a lot with a relatively small role. The soundtrack is real fine, especially the chase scene at the horsetrack. But can you believe that white boy trying to outrun the World's Greatest Running Back? Disrespect The Man and check this out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Going Hard On The Man, January 26, 2008

By

This review is from: Black Gunn (DVD)

Black Gunn is perhaps the best blaxploitation flix that you never heard of. This uber-violent flick has it all: pale-faced bigotry, hot love scenes, wild gunfights, countless (& I mean countless) racist slurs, senseless murders and a powerful revenge. As a matter of fact, I don't think I have ever seen a film with more racial slurs towards black people in my life (ie "nigger, you're gonna go to that watermellon patch up in the sky")... ah yes, there are no stones left unturned! The plot revolves around a black power dude who gets into trouble by kinda robbing the mob. After the botched robbery, the white racist enforcers catch up with him and sadistically off him. Enter Black Gunn (Jim Brown) who puts a hurting on the white man like never before. The bodies pile up as Gunn and his black power posse enact an unprecedented & bloody revenge against "whitey."
