Black Belt Jones


BLACK BELT JONES (1974) - June 15, 2011
A sporadically entertaining but mostly kind of mediocre blaxploitation film about a group of people who try to save their karate school from an evil mobster.  Features what has to be one of the greatest opening credit sequences of all time.  Sadly, the rest of the movie isn't even close to being that good.  It's kind of fun in parts, including the presence of Scatman Crothers as a Karate master (!), but mostly I was just bored.  **
