DRUM (1976). Sequel to MANDINGO (which I have not seen) continues the saga of life on a Slave holding plantation before The Civil War, with the main topic it seems, is sex between slaves and owners with plenty of violence, nudity and sleaze dished out as well. very sure a film like this could not be made today.
Boxer Ken Norton is billed as the star for name power and tries hard-certainly looks good-but he's surrounded by more experienced actors and the cast alone is enough to make You drool...Yaphet Kotto (ALIEN), Isela Vega (BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA),John Colicos (THE CHANGELING), Paula Kelly (SOYLENT GREEN), Brenda Sykes (BLACULA), Fiona Lewis (DR PHIBES RISES AGAIN< TINTORERA), Cheryl "Rainbeaux" Smith (MASSACRE AT CENTRAL HIGH, THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN, CAGED HEAT), Pam Grier (COFFEE, JACKIE BROWN) and a seriously slumming Warren Oates (RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY, THE WILD BUNCH, STRIPES, BADLANDS among many others). Only in the 70's could such a film come out with a R rating, probably get a NC-17 one today.
Truly something in here to offend everyone, so what are You waiting for? ***
