THE BLACK GODFATHER is an extremely cheap and cheerful blaxploitation picture about a battle between two rival gangster factions: the black heroes, led by young guys full of spite and fire, and the white bad guys, typically moustached and sporting velcro hair. It's a low rent and tawdry affair, extremely rough around the edges and unconvincing when it comes to staged set-pieces and attempts at action. The performances are the definition of wooden, aside from a youthful Tony Burton, later to achieve fame with the ROCKY franchise.
