Watch Black Belt Jones For Free

A Masterpiece!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

After appearing in Bruce Lee's blockbuster hit Enter The Dragon, Jim Kelly(who had a bit part as the ultra cool Williams)returns with ETD director Robert Clouse in Black Belt Jones. Black Belt Jones is 70's action camp at its best. Jim Kelly(RIP)was not the most talented actor, but more than made up for it by having a good build, great karate moves and one amazing afro. Jim Kelly was definitely one cool cat and in this film totally invincible against out of shape Italian mobsters and Pinky's gang of goofballs who are after Papa Byrd's(Scatman Crothers)karate school. BBJ has great colorful and entertaining characters, hilarious quotable dialogue and an awesome score by Luchi DeJesus. Black Belt Jones is a great blaxsploitation film that turns the camp to eleven. No matter how many times I watch this classic, it always makes me laugh and puts me in a better mood no matter how crappy my day was up to that point. So do yourself a favor and watch Black Belt Jones and have yourself a great time.

Blaxportation has made it big in the 1970's. After Richard Roundtree did "Shaft", and some others later, Jim Kelly puts his martial arts chops to the test in "Black Belt Jones". This Afro sporting avenger protects a karate school run by Pops(Scatman Crothers), is being threatened by Pinky and his crew. When Pinky and the crew went to the school for the first time, they got ridiculed by the class. The go find Pops at one of the hangouts and accidentally kill him, they get the wrath of his daughter, Sydney(Gloria Hendry). She goes over to Pinky's place to find him, she wastes them all after they get smart-mouthy with her. I liked when she removed her shoes and said, "I'm gonna make you look like a sick faggot". Then of course Black Belt has his gymnast crew at the beach house who he trust very well, help him and Sydney deal with the Mafia who was helping Pinky get the school. Enjoyed the music score, the choreography, and skills Jim Kelly put to make this movie awesome. "Enter The Dragon" was just the beginning, he could easily make the sequel called "Enter The Black Dragon"! 3 out of 5 stars!

What can I say? – This is simply awesome stuff! From the super cool Jim Kelly in the main role, the numerous chop-socky fights, car chases and general mayhem to the absolutely side splitting humour throughout this is an absolute gem and a true pleasure to sit through from start to glorious finish.Director Robert Clouse who also directed Kelly in the classic Bruce Lee opus Enter The Dragon takes a far more light hearted approach here and delivers a film that blatantly doesn't take itself at all seriously (which proves to be a most sagacious decision). Just check out the utterly hilarious scene for instance in which Kelly single handedly beats up a whole room of thugs by having his pal (played by the ever likable Alan Weeks) turn the lights on and off – the dialogue from the villains is guaranteed to leave you on the floor with laughter for sure!Other scenes of particular note (every single scene is great in fact!) include a number of funny brawls in Papa Byrd's (played by the welcome face of Scatman Crowthers who actually joins in the fight!) karate dojo, an amazing punch up in a train carriage during which Kelly manages to smash every opponent through separate windows in turn(!) and last but not least the classic soapy finale!A great assemble cast of highly recognisable faces including the aforementioned actors in addition to the likes of the lovely Gloria Hendry (Rosie Carver from the James Bond classic Live and Let Die), (Earl Jolly Brown - Whisper from the same film!), Malik Carter as Pinky (a character of comic genius!) Mel Novak (who also appeared in Bruce Lee's final unfinished Game Of Death as Stick) and keeping in with the Bruce Lee connection a brief appearance by Tang Soo Do champion Bob Wall (O'Hara from Enter The Dragon and Carl Miller from Game Of Death) who also choreographs the fight scenes in this film.What more can I add? Fans of seventies fashions (including a majestic display of solid looking Afros!), groovy seventies beats, kung fu and indeed comedy would be well advised to boogie on down to your local video outlet and grab up a copy of this veritable classic!

Well, I can easily say that this is my favorite movie ever. Ever! Jim Kelly provides non-stop kung-fu-rific action with a style of the 70's no-one can match. Filled with tons of creative fight scenes including a crutial battle, fought in a rising bed of BUBBLES! Black-belt's female counterpart Sydney also provides a mean ass-woopin throughout this masterpiece. One warning though, its as full of off-color, non-pc dialog as it is great fight choreography (just keep in mind, its a 70's "B" movie, so just take them as funny, "i can't believe they said that" humour and you're set).So ya, basically its a must see in my eyes. It's so great i own a sealed copy of it! Enjoy.
