Three the Hard Way (1974)

Directed by Gordon Parks, Jr.
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Bros)

Three blaxploitation legends get together and make a boring movie. They have to stop a genocide planned by a white supremacist group as well as rescue Jim Brown's girlfriend. Brown recruits Bruce Lee-wannabe Jim Kelly and Fred Williamson to be part of his team. They spend their time in LA, Chicago, New York and Washington in shoot-outs with anonymous, red beret-wearing bad guys. Those fights are very poorly staged and go on forever, almost the entire second half of the film. However, the leather fashions are good for a few laughs.
