Plot

Cult director Al Adamson's entertainingly cheesy blaxploitation effort stars Jim Kelly as a wealthy agent for the government organization D.R.A.G.O.N. Kelly does the "international spy" bit -- familiar from the James Bond films -- to save his kidnapped girlfriend from a group of Haitian voodoo slavers. The familiar genre cast, including Marilyn Joi, D'Urville Martin (Dolemite), and the diminutive Felix Silla of TV's The Addams Family, should please buffs, while Adamson directs the silly proceedings with uncharacteristic flair despite a typically low budget. Kelly returned with Adamson in Black Eliminator (a.k.a. Death Dimension). ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
