Hot Potato (1976) is a movie that I recently came across on Tubi and decided to give a shot. The storyline follows a private investigator who is hired to track down an ambassador's daughter that has been kidnapped and taken to Thailand. He will need to infiltrate the gang who kidnapped her, rescue her and fight his way back to America.
This movie is written and directed by Oscar Williams (Death Drug) and stars Jim Kelly (Enter the Dragon), George Memmoli (Mean Streets), Judith Brown (The Big Doll House), Irene Tsu (Airport 1975) and Ching-Ying Lam (The Prodigal Son).
The best part of this movie are the settings and backdrops. Unfortunately both the writing for the storyline and dialogue were awful as were the fight scenes and choreography. There is a fat man that is supposed to be funny but didn't work out as intended. It's unfortunate so much of this is average to bad as it is easy to root for Jim Kelly.
Overall this is a disappointing addition to the blaxploitation genre that I would score a 3/10 and recommend skipping.
