Watch Mandinga For Free

Truly Dreadful Film

Perfectly adorable

A Disappointing Continuation

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Obviously made on the cheap to capitalize on the notorious "Mandingo," this crassly pandering hunk of blithely rancid Italian sexploitation junk really pours on the sordid stuff with a commendable lack of taste and restraint: The evil arrogant white family who own and operate a lavish slave plantation spend a majority of the screen time engaging in hanky panky both each other and their various slaves. Director Mario Penzauti and screenwriter Tecla Romanelli cram this fetid filth with a teeming surplus of sizzling sleaze: we've got nasty rape, interracial copulation (one white lady makes wild love to a muscular black stud while he's tied to a cross), copious female nudity, brutal whippings, vile degradation, lots of lurid soft-core sex, and a severely twisted tragic surprise ending that mixes elements of incest, murder and miscegenation in a questionable attempt at making a statement about the horrid inhumanity of slavery. Special kudos are in order for foxy brunette actress Paola D'Egidio, whose lusty and uninhibited portrayal of depraved and lascivious wicked bitch Rhonda positively burns up the screen. Moreover, Marcello Giombini's funky, throbbing tribal score hits the groovy spot. Maurizo Centini's fairly polished cinematography likewise does the trick. A satisfyingly seamy chunk of slimy swill.

Incredibly hilarious mid-70's Italian Rootsploitation with lots of non-consensual S&M, lesbian sex, gratuitous racial cruelty etc...Few redeeming cinematic qualities, except for the fairly cool theme music with dubby "African" drums and flute. Brilliant sample dialog: White Slave Owner (to White Plantation Manager): "You're so dumb, I'll bet you forgot to interrogate that n****r midwife!"White Plantation Manager: "Not only did I interrogate her, I did it so well she died before I could get any answers from her!"All the black actors have 70's afros, and say "yes, massa" in a high-pitched voice. The female lead has sex with everybody on the plantation. 10 Stars for fans of tasteless sleaze.

Italian rip off of Mandingo and The Drum is a badly dubbed Italian life on the plantation yarn. Lots of people who don't look like they belong in the American South wear badly tailored costumes and wander around locations that look nothing like the American south. The plot has something about the romance between a rich man and a certain young woman, the jealousy that ensues and the tragedy that follows. The film promises hot steamy sex and lots of twisted violence but nothing ever really comes of any of it, its all tease. Its all probably racially insensitive, I couldn't notice since its artistically bankrupt. The final twist is at best laughable. A major turkey.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I bought this one for five bucks at my local video store. The cover has a white woman embracing a black man while he's chained up. Did someone order a sleaze sandwich? Yes sir! "Mandinga" is an Italian rip-off of "Mandingo" that is hot and ready to eat.As the movie begins, we see life on the plantation: Slaves getting whipped, slaves talking back and then promptly getting whipped. Lots of whipping. A white woman is lectured about how she should never lower herself and have sexual relations with a slave. Then she immediately has sex with a slave. The slave is chained up so she jumps on him. Well, at least the video box cover didn't lie. Soon the white man running the plantation has sex with a chained up slave woman. This is all in the first fifteen minutes. So besides interracial slave sex, what else does this movie have on it's mind? Not much. The plantation owner's son comes back from England. He is going to run the plantation and have sex. He falls for the local preacher's daughter and some family drama happens. More chained up slaves have sex with their masters. All in all, I counted about eight sex scenes. There is a nice, sordid vibe running through "Mandinga". I would bet there is another, harder version of this flick running around. But even this version was pretty strong for softcore. I can only recommend this one to the most fervent admirers of B-sleaze. Everyone else should avoid.
