Black Shampoo Movie Reviews

A Trippy 70’s cheesy sexy blaxploitation crime melodrama

Man, I haven’t seen this much nudity and so many stereotypes in a long time! Black, White, Rich, Gay, Straight–It has all of them.

Man,could the Gay hairdressers be more flaming? damn. And I have known a few gay hairdressers.

This has all the 70’s clichés ever invented and portrayed in this sort of film, but Shaft, Superfly, Dolemite it ain’t! LOL.

OK, it is NOT a great movie, It is a low budget cheese fest, yes.

But I really love seeing women in old movies who haven’t been Botoxed, Implanted or Siliconed!You know what I’m sayin’? All natural hair, and…well you know.

The clothes are so funky, and it’s hard to believe people dressed like that, but styles have a way of coming back around.

I grew up in those days. I was 12 when this movie came out, so I obviously didn’t see it, plus I was nerdy, white and un-hip. (Still white and nerdy) LOL! So don’t be so quick to over analyze and critique this film, it is what it is, and so are the other blaxploitation films of the 70’s.

I love this kind of stuff, even if it is stupid, lame and dumb.

Damn, those women are fine.

Like 6 nude scenes in 30 minutes! Yee haw! I’m a typical guy, huh? Peace!

Insert your own wisecracks

They just don’t make ’em like this no more. Grungy as only a ’70s B-Movie can be, and filled with hilariously overblown ‘tude. The acting is minimal, the script is charmless and vulgar, and the lousy video version I saw made it look like a cheapo porn flick.

If you want to invite your friends over for a MST3K-type party, this would be a good one to rent. The opportunities to throw wisecracks at the screen are hard to resist!

Mr. Jonathan, he’s a real man!

John Daniels, fresh his triumphant portrayal of a smooth mack daddy pimp in the immortal “The Candy Tangerine Man,” does his charmless macho black stud muffin on wheels shtick once again as Mr. Jonathan, a tough, irresistible, and extremely promiscuous hairdresser who happily does the deed with his lovely, wealthy, and predominantly white distaff customers. Mr. Jonathan’s carefree hedonistic Los Angeles existence gets disrupted when a bunch of pernicious Italian gangsters led by despicable greaseball Joe Ortiz trash his Sunset Strip beauty salon and try to steal his foxy main squeeze Tanya Boyd away from him. Not one to idly tolerate being pushed around, Mr. Jonathan breaks out a handy chainsaw to kick some major syndicate butt! Cheesy, low-rent, and fabulously addle-pated, this honey rates highly as one delectably dopey blaxploitation combination of dippy soap opera and sleazy revenge action: Greydon Clark’s unskillful direction manages to be quite savory in a schlocky stupid sort of way, there’s plenty of torrid quasi-pornographic sex scenes and mouth-watering full-frontal female nudity (Mrs. Boyd in particular looks blazing hot in her birthday suit), the priceless godawful dialogue will leave you in stitches (“So, Mr. Jonathan, is it true that you are the best in the West?”), the other two male beauty salon employees are hysterically offensive and politically incorrect limp-wristed gay stereotypes (one of these homosexuals winds up having a hot curling iron crammed right where the sun doesn’t shine!), the cinematography by Dean Cundey and Michael J. Mileham alternates between the slick and the shoddy with heart-warming frequency, Gerald Lee’s get-down funky-grinding score sounds like it belongs in a raunchy 70’s X-rated flick, and the climactic outburst of last reel action delivers oodles of bloody excessive violence. Overall, this riotously rancid chunk of prime 70’s drive-in junk offers enough seamy thrills to appease even the most jaded “I’ve seen it all” aficionado of vintage Graze Z exploitation fare.
