Funny 
2008-05-02
I'm all into those black explotation films and this is another one.. but if you're into those then you will enjoy this movie.. Funny at the end of the movie like nowdays they have the interviews with the cast well it looks like back in the day, maybe that wasn't possible this movie has a transcript of an interview with cast members.. Maybe money was tight.. :)
Sorry Movie

One of the worst black movies I have ever seen. A so-called tough hair stylist. This movie was not even worth the time invested to order it. let alone to watch it. Poor plot, aimless direction. Not in par with the great movies during the blaxploitation era I grew up in. Don't waste the money or the time watching this poor excuse of a movie.
dynamite movie

All I can say is dynamite acting and story line. Also, this movie has a great soundtrack LP.
Better with the sound off

Being a huge fan of "Army Of Darkness" and the "Evil Dead" movies I'm easily excited by a chainsaw wielding hero... but no dice here. The budget and perhaps the times may be to blame for an extremely safe interpretation of chainsaw battle. This movie is also very slow.
3 stars for some decent visuals (very much represents the styles of the times) ~Could be fun as a silent screen saver during a party (maybe with some Snoop Dogg or chainsaw styled metal guitar playing).
A Near-Perfect 70s blaxploitation film 2006-08-01
If ya wanna see a pre-Days of Our Lives Tanya Boyd (who also co-stars in the direct-to DVD For Da Love of Money) in all her natural glory, then peep this, fo real. It's very stereotypical from first frame to the last with Mr. Jonathan seducing a white customer at the sink! The film goes a bit soft core porn with he and Tanya, and prior to that, he and one of his insatiable customers. Let's not forget the two gay hairdressers he employs are funny (for the day) and the film goes from one conventional plot point to the next, but what film from back in the day doesn't? Sit back, enjoy, pop some popcorn, get some 420, chill, and enjoy.

John Daniels stars as Jonathan Knight, the owner of "Mr. Jonathans," the most successful hair salon for women on the Sunset Strip. Jonathan is tall, muscular, black and ballsy. His reputation as a lover has become so awesome that he is sought after almost as much in that capacity as in his experience as a hair stylist. Everything is cool for Jonathan until he messes with the mob in an effort to protect his young attractive receptionist from her former boss. Action explodes when the "loving machine" becomes the "killing machine". Jonathan, equipped with chainsaw in hand, gets down on the vicious mob gang.

Nobody messes with my hair salon!

Right before director Greydon Clark did "Satan's Cheerleaders", he made this 1976 violent blaxploitation cheese ball about a salon owner/gigolo, Mr. Johnathan (John Daniels, who looks like a smaller, african american Lou Ferrigno) getting revenge on the white mobsters who kidnap his secretary/girlfriend, beat up his gay hairdressers and trash his salon. This has plenty of cheezy acting, especially from the stereotypical gay hairdressers. The film is definitely not boring, except for some romantic 70s montages in the middle. There's plenty of sex, nudity, and violence resulting in a conclusion that involves chainsaw mutilations and a pool cue impaling! It shouldn't dramatically disappoint fans of the genre, but don't expect laughs like the Dolemite films. After you see it once, you probably won't come back to it. Its good for a cheap rental on bad 70s night. Black Shampoo goes mostly for a serious tone, although it has problems staying there. How serious can you take an angry hairdresser?
