User Review - 10/10 by Nate Wselling crack to kids is bad assssssss sucka.
User Review - 10/10 by Sgt. CThe Black Gestapo is one of the most gloriously stupid films I've ever seen. The premise alone about a black militant group modeling themselves after Nazis promises a great deal of humor, but this film takes that ridiculous premise and adds a whole bunch of stupid things into the mix such as romance, sex and nudity, plenty of action scenes, hilariously bad dialogue, gangsters, drugs, back-stabbing, and so much more. This film made me fall in love with it in the same way films like Escape From L.A. and Doomsday by being gloriously idiotic and embracing its campyness to the fullest degree. It's pure, nonstop fun that will have you laughing, saying "What the fuck?" constantly, and feeling a sense of joy from watching so much stupidity unfold. The Black Gestapo is beyond any doubt one of the greatest so bad it's good films I've ever seen.
User Review - 10/10 by David HA real Blaxpoitation Dynamite it is one of best Movies of this Genre and also a Crossover with the Naziploitation Genre it is a very exciting, amazing and shocking Movie and shows how a good-willed Thing can overflow in something bad and brutal many Gangs have a similiar History a current Case is the Mara Salvatrucha
User Review - 10/10 by Jarrett Jthis movie is deep; deep parallel between the gestapo's rise (and demise). and yes, yes, it stars coatesville's own rod perry (also appeared in Babylon 5, Barney Miller, Good Times, Project UFO, and S.W.A.T. - with starring roles in many shows). deeper meaning between the definition of black-on-black crime - you don't know where you're going unless you know from whence you came. kudos to rod's acting abilities; he's been one of my favorite actors. coatesville representing in hollywood!
User Review - 10/10 by Tommy Lreally good portrayal of alot of shit that goes on in my mind when i'm "locked in"
User Review - 10/10 by Private Ui'm not going to waste your time with some erudite synopsis of this film's exploitative implications, i'm just going to tell you to love it.
User Review - 8/10 by John KThis movie is pretty insane. Basically, there's a watchdog group started to police the ghetto who become drunk with power and they start dressing up like Nazi's...yup, AWESOME
User Review - 8/10 by Randy PIt's a great grind house flick, I really hope Tarantino gives this a thought. Since the idea is thought provoking that what if blacks turned against whites or even enslaved them. Back in the 70's this would have been really offensive, but today standards the offensiveness makes this more enjoyable. It could be a much better film if this was remade. Fun film to watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Bryan GI've kind of got a soft spot for blaxploitation films, which sometimes are among the strangest films around. Last year I experienced some of the horror films that filled this genre of film, and that interested me in seeking other more unusual ventures in blaxploitation. So naturally when I stumbled on a film called The Black Gestapo I had to pick this one up. Because, when it comes to the Nazi's and what they stood for, seeing a bunch of black men joining the ranks just didn't make sense to me. Well, it turns out that The Black Gestapo isn't as I thought it to be. Sure, this group of men do wear the signature threads that the Gestapo wore, emblems and all, and even mimic some of their salutes and such. But they aren't going around singling out Jewish people, but rather the oppressive white leaders in government, the police force and local mobsters. Such a weird identity for this group to assume, but within the context of the film it does actually work. And I genuinely liked what The Black Gestapo had to offer. The movie starts off with General Ahmed (Rod Perry), who leads an inner-city group in Watts, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. The group's original intention was to protect the black citizens of this area, but the oppression of the more powerful whites makes this difficult. So Ahmed's second in command, Colonel Kojah (Charles Robinson), asks if he can form a secret group that will use violence to cut down on the threats facing Watts. It works at first, as the Black Gestapo drive out their enemies. But the Black Gestapo's power hunger gets too severe, and they turn into what they swore to protect their people from. That is what I came to like about The Black Gestapo so much. This group was using terrible, violent acts to protect themselves, which is usually condoned in these sorts of films. But about midway through the film our heroes turn out to be the real villains of the story, and Ahmed must become a one man army to bring them down. It isn't the deepest film you're going to see, but The Black Gestapo has a lot more substance to it than one would originally think it to after reading the title. The Black Gestapo is one of the better blaxploitation films I've seen, with better acting and storytelling than I've come to expect. It's a nice little hidden gem that I think fans of this genre of film-making should seek out. You'll never look at the Gestapo the same again, that's for sure.
User Review - 8/10 by Alli APretty cool blaxploitation has the good guys go bad, except one who retains his dignity. Violent and action packed, fun and disturbing.
