10/10
Spectacular film.

I personally enjoyed this film quite a bit. It is a rare classic and a gem of all gems. Before you view this, I suggest that you come in expecting pure camp and over the top scenes. None of it should be taken seriously.

I can watch this one over and over. Ken Norton gives a performance only Ken Norton can give. Yappet Kotto is a genius in this one. The fight scenes are better than the original. This film is actually on a completely different level than it's predecessor, Mandingo. Where Mandingo is more serious in tone, this film does not take itself seriously. It's one laugh after another.

It is a shame that we don't have an official release in the US. Guess Hollywood is too PC these days. Bunch of wimps if you ask me.
