Product Description

John Daniels stars as Jonathan Knight, the owner of "Mr. Jonathans," the most successful hair salon for women on the Sunset Strip. Jonathan is tall, muscular, black and ballsy. His reputation as a lover has become so awesome that he is sought after almost as much in that capacity as in his experience as a hair stylist. Everything is cool for Jonathan until he messes with the mob in an effort to protect his young attractive receptionist from her former boss. Action explodes when the "loving machine" becomes the "killing machine". Jonathan, equipped with chainsaw in hand, gets down on the vicious mob gang. Bonus Features: Anamorphic Widescreen Enhanced for 16x9| Director's Commentary| Behind the Scene Photo Gallery| Original Theatrical Trailer| Bonus Exploitation Trailers| Bios| Text Interviews| Scene Selection Menu. Specs: DVD9; Dolby Digital Mono; 85 minutes; Color; 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio; MPAA - R; Year - 1976; SRP - $5.99.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nobody messes with my hair salon!, February 12, 2004
By B-MAN "B" (Earth, occasionally. Until I get bored.) - See all my reviews
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?

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, May 2, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.. :)
