Mr. Mean (1977)


Lone Star Pictures
Directed by Fred Williamson
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Code Red)

Fred Williamson is hired by the mafia to make a hit in Rome. He spends most of his time there picking up women, including the girlfriend of a rival hit man trying to kill him. A Williamson vanity project (he wrote, directed, produced and starred), he gives himself plenty of scenes with beautiful women while wearing only a Speedo. It is poorly edited with a plethora of continuity problems and just awful acting. What it does have, however, is an abundance of 70s ambiance that just cannot be replicated today, including a funky soundtrack (and appearance) by the Ohio Players.
