Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The name says it all. You know going into it that this is going to be the biggest piece of blaxploitation garbage you've ever seen, and it is. But I disagree with the other poster that said it is not bad in a good way. Its badness is so bad that it redeems itself with pure laughter.There are so many noticeable mistakes and continuity errors that it just makes you laugh. Like when Super Soul Brother is utilized by the bad guys to lift a 3 ton safe - when he puts it in the car trunk the car doesn't move - they made no attempt to hide the fact that the safe was made out of cardboard. In a later seen, a midget in a suit appears out of nowhere, with no explanation of why he is there, and he is immediately killed (that appears to be the climax of the movie, but who would know??) There are many memorable lines as well. Who can forgot, "Drawers?? N----s don't wear drawers!" Or the classic song at the end, "6001, It's a N-----" I liked this movie a lot, there is tons of fun to be had here with a case of beers and a couple wise guys in the room.

Don't listen to any of these bad reviews. This is one of the finest films of the 20th century. I'm not joking, either. Like nothing your ears have ever heard. Like nothing your eyes have ever seen. This flick exists in a world of it's own, no comparisons will do. Not much action to speak of, nor any budget. Probably not even a script. But, oh, what it does possess. Your imagination couldn't possibly conjure a mental picture of the goings on. I ain't going to spoil anything, but if you're tired of viewing the REAL garbage that passes for film these days, then this is the landfill to wallow in. If you don't dig this go watch Tom Hanks' Punchline.

This film has some really funny lines in it but is hard to appreciate because of its poor handling of the plot and also the bad editing job of the film! There are many subplots that aren't needed in the film, scenes that never develop into anything significant later in the movie. Someone earlier mentioned the same scene of a view from an apartment window used from the director's previous film. This scene (lasting all of about thirty seconds) seems to have been left out in the new video version of the movie. It was intact on an older video release, on a rental videotape. Anyone know why they cut this short scene out where Steve is shown the amenities of his new apartment??? The film was not prepared properly for video. Lots of camera shots are cut off, and for the most part of the movie you can only see partial head shots in closeups! And for one more regret, the end was so abrupt if I had blinked I would have missed it!!! Nevertheless, I still enjoy watching it and recommend it.

Completely sucks, somehow this person was able to make a second movie after the wannabe soft core porn that was the "Guy from Harlem". In this movie he actually uses the same hotel room and shot overlooking some river that he used in the "Guy from Harlem" interesting if you figure that it was made 4 years before "Super Soul Brother".
