Editorial Reviews

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?

3.0 out of 5 stars A Near-Perfect 70s blaxploitation film, August 1, 2006
This review is from: Black Shampoo [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If ya wanna see a pre-Days of Our Lives Tanya Boyd (who also co-stars in the direct-to DVD For Da Love of Money) in all her natural glory, then peep this, fo real. It's very stereotypical from first frame to the last with Mr. Jonathan seducing a white customer at the sink! The film goes a bit soft core porn with he and Tanya, and prior to that, he and one of his insatiable customers. Let's not forget the two gay hairdressers he employs are funny (for the day) and the film goes from one conventional plot point to the next, but what film from back in the day doesn't? Sit back, enjoy, pop some popcorn, get some 420, chill, and enjoy.
Tag this Willie Dynamite, Dolemite, Superfly, The Mack...
