| User ReviewMike WBest film ever made. Check out the DVD -- I wrote the liner notes and interviews from Cashiers du Cinemart are a part of the disc. |
| User ReviewSam EIfs I coulds gets me a hairdo from that Jonathan mmmmgirl dont know what i do. Plus the part scene is one of the best choreographed scenes in the history of man and art. If people came back from the past and watched this movie now...they would invent immortality to live to see this again 6000 years later. in the age of the robots. HUH???!! |
| User ReviewA.J. EThe sex scenes in this film are exactly how sex scenes should be: gratuitous, random, unpleasant, awkward, almost ten full minutes long, loaded with ugly people, having nothing to do with the plot. It helps that they're followed by a chainsaw fight. Mr. Johnathan should be a hero to all. |
| User ReviewNathan DWatched this many years ago and I need to find it again. Taking out whitey with a chainsaw for beating up your camp hairdresser? It just makes sense. |
| User ReviewDavid Jprobably the best blacksploitation movie ever made! Adam Sandler's You Don't Mess With the Zohan (which SUCKED) seems even more wimpy now. |
| User ReviewJustin BWatched this one immediately after Shampoo, because I was anxious to get that taste out of my mouth, and I'll be damned if this one didn't just blow me away from start to finish. Well worth tracking down, this one has some great music, fun action, great fashions and some cute ladies. Recommended. |
| User ReviewJohn AMost bad-ass blaxploitation stars of the seventies walk hard and carry a big stick (if you know what I mean) But not "Mr. Johnathan". He's a sensitive hair-dresser that treats the dozens of woman that try pulling him into their beds with respect and dignity. His best friends are the two homosexuals he has hired to work in his salon, very liberal for 1976. But make no mistake - If you mess with Mr. Johnathan, his woman, his friends or his salon - he will take you down - big time! John Daniels didn't do enough acting, but his work here as well as in "The Candy Tangerine Man" are two of my favorite examples of low-end blaxploitaion. A strong contender in the "They don't make 'em like this anymore" category - It's not likely that anybody would make a Hero-hairdresser film called BLACK SHAMPOO today, without it being a comedic parody. |
| User ReviewBrother GThis is one of those films that are so bad that its good. Downright hilarious. Laughed hard at times. Action is as cheap as a crack addict whore (not saying that from experience of being with one) and the laughs mostly come because the movie is trying to be serious. |
| User ReviewChris RThe adventures of Mr. Jonathan, the most popular (heterosexual) hair stylist of Los Angeles, are the stuff of Blaxploitation legend. John Daniels is Jonathan Knight, a sex monster that just canâ??t help himself and despite being quite the wooden stiff, heâ??s also incredibly entertaining. I loved his relationship with his homosexual partners and the Cowboy barbeque at the center of the film is disturbing and hilarious. Filled with a wide variety of nudity and climaxing surprisingly with Texas Chainsaw Massacre levels of violence, Black Shampoo must be seen to be believed. VF. |
| User ReviewSylvester KOh Gosh, what a horrible blaxploitation film... It's campy fun but too over the top |
