Jive Turkey (1974) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a pimp, street hustler who is approached by the mafia to be bought out of his business.

This movie is directed by Bill Brame (Scream Free!) and stars Frank DeKova (The Ten Commandments), Paul Harris (Truck Turner), Ernie Lee Banks (Mystery Man) and Henry G. Sanders (Selma).
The best part of this movie is the female muscle. The opening kill sequence with the ring and the use of the heel were my favorite parts of the movie. The storyline is fairly cliche and straightforward, but the soundtrack is superb and fun. There was some 70s nudity, but the seductive scenes are awkward and a bit funny. The cinematography was poor and felt low budget.
Overall, this is a very average blaxploitation movie that is still worth a watch. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing once.
