2.0 out of 5 stars Nobody messes with my hair salon!, February 12, 2004

This review is from: Black Shampoo [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Right before director Greydon Clark did "Satan's Cheerleaders", he made this 1976 violent blaxploitation cheese ball about a salon owner/gigolo, Mr. Johnathan (John Daniels, who looks like a smaller, african american Lou Ferrigno) getting revenge on the white mobsters who kidnap his secretary/girlfriend, beat up his gay hairdressers and trash his salon. This has plenty of cheezy acting, especially from the stereotypical gay hairdressers. The film is definitely not boring, except for some romantic 70s montages in the middle. There's plenty of sex, nudity, and violence resulting in a conclusion that involves chainsaw mutilations and a pool cue impaling! It shouldn't dramatically disappoint fans of the genre, but don't expect laughs like the Dolemite films. After you see it once, you probably won't come back to it. Its good for a cheap rental on bad 70s night. Black Shampoo goes mostly for a serious tone, although it has problems staying there. How serious can you take an angry hairdresser?

I'm all into those black explotation films and this is another one.. but if you're into those then you will enjoy this movie.. Funny at the end of the movie like nowdays they have the interviews with the cast well it looks like back in the day, maybe that wasn't possible this movie has a transcript of an interview with cast members.. Maybe money was tight.. :)

A blaxploitation movie that did not receive as much notoriety as Shaft, Superfly or the Mack.Rightfully so!!!!!!
Not as memorable as they were. Low budget, forgetable soundtrack.
Only bright spot, some comedic relief from two members of the supporting cast.
Recommended for anyone who is a staunch lover of the Blaxploitation era, otherwise not worth your time.
