Not gonna rate this one because I didn’t finish it. My car died at the drive-in and I had to get a jump. Very embarrassing! Anyway, I liked what I saw. Strange to watch a movie that you can fully recognize as having influenced an entire generation of film lovers while also knowing that the movie and most of the movies it has influences have just totally passed you by. Was delighted when the whole drive-in honked at Jim Kelly beating up two racist cops. Also delighted at everyone honking as Jim Kelly was about to have sex. The drive-in loves to honk at a horny moment. Who can blame em! It’s what the bumper stickers want!John Saxon looks like Zac Efron. Why isn’t the news talking about this?

Josh Lewis4.0

60s Bond film through the lens of 70s martial arts/blaxploitation. Lee was an unbelievable athlete.

Ian West5.0

If you put martial arts, blaxploitation, and espionage into a tea pot it becomes the tea pot, boiling over with perfection thanks to an immense Lalo Schifrin score, John Saxon, Jim Kelly, a claw/knife handed Dr. No villain, a shitload of mirrors, and Bruce Lee. Incredibly influential and endlessly enjoyable, this is essential 1973 cinema.
