The Candy Tangerine Man
Sunset Boulevard is a lucrative place to work for the Black Baron, a pimp with a distinctive red and yellow Rolls Royce and plenty of girls on his books. He don't take no mess from his girls, his madam or his competitors and viciously defends his patch. First, he clobbers the Mob who attempt to move in on his patch. Second, he tracks down one of his girls who runs off with a suitcase full of his cash. Third, he disposes of two policemen. But by now he knows his pimping days are numbered, so after a final explosive gun battle he switches to being his alter ego, mild-mannered businessman Ron who lives out in the leafy suburbs with an unsuspecting wife and family.

How sad is this?
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
When will this blaxploitation classic get the cult reputation it so richly deserves? John Daniels is a suburban businessman by day who becomes tough, garish pimp "The Black Baron" by night. Surrealy bad acting from the cast, (apparently) real hookers (with their breasts cut off) and more nasty violence rules the day as the Baron battles Italian gangsters. He also drives around in a candy-coloured Rolls Royce with a set of machine guns behind the headlights. Films don't get much more fun than this, i just wish i could have seen it in a theatre. With Marilyn Joi and George "Buck" Flower. Theakos also wrote LADY COCOA and THE BLACK SIX for Ottaviano (a one-time Jayne Mansfield husband).Movie reviews at: spinegrinderweb.com
Awesomely good little blaxploitation jewel features more stilted 70s fashion, gun violence, and pimp/whore sensationalism than possibly any other example of its subgenre.Inner-city King-Pimp leads an exhausting double life...by day, he's your average, picket-fence suburban family man with a mild nature. Surrounded each night by beautiful hookers eager to "treat him right", he declines each shapely temptation and remains faithful to his wife(who is unaware of what his real "job" is). As reticent a character as this man may seem, don't doubt for an instant that there is a mean-streets edge that comes shining through when necessary roughness is condign for maintaining order within the ghetto underbelly.A plentitude of hard-ass action and snap-crackle dialog make CANDY TANGERINE MAN one of blaxploitation's best...a technically on-the-ball production for a movie of its breed, but not at all lacking in glorious B-grade edginess.Recommended 7.5/10
A FILM NOT TO BE MISSED! This is a bigger than bizarre (poor directing on a shoe-string) style of a movie. Totally and most wholeheartedly WELL WORTH WATCHING for all the wrong dum-ass reasons. Gangster hot heads and stiff pimping galore. Staring John Daniels as super-hero style pimp, 'THE BARRON.' A respected, well known family man by day and by night becomes a money making slap ma "HOSE" dood, with attitude. This film has it all. Jokes in all the wright places and jokes in all the wrong places. Classic ahead of its time, obscene language. Witty lines like, 'Mr B is gona run the 1-2-3....' or 'You xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxx xxxx xxxx you were gona xxxx xx xxx xxxx, I did it...' The movie concludes with a pure GUNSMOKE ending. THE BARON finally reveals he to has more moves than ever expected. (SEE POSTER)
One of the more imaginative Blaxploitation films I've seen... This movie would make a good Windows theme, with dialogue where a "chalky, honkey" cue ball is blamed for the loss of a bet, and the CTM's car is a Rolls with painted-on flames and pop-up machine gun headlights (the scene where those are revealed is truly the high point of the whole movie). The whole "slum superhero" bit has been done before, but never quite as comically. If your video store doesn't at least have "The Mack" don't even bother looking for this one.
