3.0 out of 5 stars Good movie, but.........., August 23, 2000

This review is from: Hell Up in Harlem [VHS] (VHS Tape)

But, not as good as Black Caesar. There was a good deal of action in this film, more than the predecessor, and you can definetly tell that a lot more money was spent on this movie, however it lacked the originality and spontanaity of the first film. The action scenes were better, and the story was very well thought out, but the movie just lacked something. Tommy Gibbs is still a super ... though, and I wouldn't wanna mess with him. "Hell Up In Harlem" just strikes me as a sequel with a LOT of potential, and energy that would have made a fine film, but the tale gets caught up too much in trying to out do the first film, instead of building upon it. ... I think this is a must see for fans of the fisrt film, but don't be surprised if you are disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Movie of the 70's era!, December 26, 1999

This review is from: Hell Up in Harlem [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Hell Up in Harlem is a truly genius for its time period. The movie showed creativity and plot unparalled in the early 70's. If you love 70's gangsta movies this one is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sequel to Black Ceasar, June 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hell Up in Harlem (DVD)

Fred Williamson is the man. He was the sexiest african american actor of the 70's..and still sexy today..:-)

It was a great sequel. The James Brown sound tracks were right on! I would suggest buying the 2 DVD special. It's a great deal. I've seen Black Ceasar and Hell up in Harlem sold for a lot more.

I will always love Fred Williamson. If you are Fred Williams fan..you will like him in One down..two to go" the "Kill Reflex".."Bucktown". I can go on and on.

I own every film that Fred Williamson has been in.
