"Honkey" is a rather dated term. Although used in a historical sense, it might be more in line with the times. More current terms are "White Boy" and "Cracker" link Unsure if using an "A" as a replacment for the last letter makes it more acceptable to society. I suppose that "Cracka" would work, but not sure about "Honkea" or "White Boa". The first sounds like some sort of combination of Honda and Nokia, a car/phone of some type and the other is going to be mistaken for snake or woman's clothing item. |

When I was ten or so, I remember seeing an ad for this movie on TV when my family briefly lived in Tonawanda, New York. It was probably playing at some grindhouse or drive-in. It looked pretty strange to my young eyes, to say the least. I realize that outrageous movies like this are made to make money, and that the majority of folks who see them just laugh and shrug them off. But as I've gotten older, I've started wondering what kind of effect movies like this have on impressionable minds. (Using myself as an example, I've watched and read my own share of junk over the years, and put some things into my mind which I wish weren't there.) Anyway, just some food for thought. |

Right on, brutha man (insert black power fist icon here). Edit: Black Dynamite could kick all they asses. |

The Black Gestapo in the movie are (eventually) the bad guys… led by the actor who played Mac on Night Court. The hero has to take them down.
It's pretty standard Blaxploitation fare… including the obligatory 'castrating the white man' scene. It's pretty hilarious in places. Not nearly as good as the movies with Pam Grier or Rudy Ray Moore. |

I'm told that Dieudonne M'bala M'bala is working out the actual modalities: link One of Chiang Kai-shek's adopted sons liked the Wehrmacht so well that he served in it. His Daddy made him get his ass out before he saw any actual combat: link It's a strange old world, innit? |

I have never ever never ever never heard of this movie before, so I would have to peg it as "failure" |

To spark your interest, the trailer: YouTube link You can watch the whole film on YouTube. YouTube link Funky 70's do-wakka sound track. YouTube link As a side note, the clips of the German troops marching by at just after 3 minutes into the film. Wow, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, they did know how to march. |
