Summary: Awful Transfer
Comment: I absolutely love this movie. I am one of the world's biggest Jim Kelly fans. BUT this DVD is an awful transfer. It is taken straight from a VHS and has not been digitally remastered. At the beginning of my movie I have old VHS tracking noise, then the company gets the tracking right I guess by holding the tracking button on the VCR. There is only about two instances of this, but when one buys a DVD, he expects no VHS type tracking noise.

Summary: Black Belt Jones
Comment: I watched this movie as a young adult, my son enjoyed it as a teenager and my grandson has seen it. Lots of action. Jim Kelley has been through three generations. Thanks again.
Peace and Blessings,

Summary: Its a 70's Karate Fest!
Comment: I take it from the other writer he didn't like it. However you have to look at this movie that in its day it was a good movie. Jim Kelly had just did Enter the Dragon, and many wanted to replace Bruce Lee. Jim Kelley was the next best thing at the time. Some of the Scenes are funny, and I agree that you can't take this seriously. But you can enjoy the movie if you look past some of the corn ball stuff. They did a black version of Enter the dragon. Not! I gave it 3 star's for a good effort and I have to say it is still a classic.

Summary: A bad movie that takes itself seriously
Comment: Had they made this movie a bit more campy, it could have been hilarious. There are some pretty funny parts, but, it takes itself seriously and ends up being one of the slowest-moving movies I've seen. I would not recommend this to anyone, even if you like kung-fu movies, which I do.
