Lee Frost was behind some strange films like Race With the Devil, Love Camp 7, Chain Gang Women and The Thing with Two Heads. None of those films will prepare you for this one. After all, how does one prepare for a movie where an army of black men get inspired by the wrong side of World War II and become the new master race?
General Ahmed (Rod Perry of TV's S.W.A.T.) starts a People's Army to protect the black people of Watts, but after chasing the drug dealers out of town, his second-in-command Colonel Kojah (Charles Robinson, who played Fabulous from Sugar Hill and would go on to be Mac on TV's Night Court) takes over, turning the group into a fascist paramilitary outfit that controls every racket in town.
With a concept like that, you'd hope that the film itself would be more out of control. Sadly, it isn't. That said, Uschi Digard shows up and really, that's worth seeing the film in the first place. Comparing the Black Panthers to the Third Reich and castration are things that you don't see in movies any longer. I'd argue that this is the lone movie that combines both.
