Sheba, Baby (1975) is a movie I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows a loan officer in Louisville who is being strongarmed by a local gang to sell his business to them. Little do they know the loan officer's daughter is a detective in Chicago that's more than happy to come home and put the gangsters in their place.
This movie is directed by William Girdler (The Manitou) and stars Pam Grier (Coffy), Austin Stoker (Assault on Precinct 13), D'Urville Martin (Rosemary's Baby), Richard Merrifield (The Invaders) and Charles Kissinger (The Grizzly).
The storyline in this is just okay and the characters aren't as compelling as other Pam Grier pictures from this era. The dialogue/jive, attire, settings, vehicles and soundtrack are all magnificent and worthwhile. There are some fun sequences like the scenes with the pimp and the boat fight sequence.
Overall this is one of Grier's lesser Blaxploitation pictures in terms of quality but is still fun to watch. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
