Serious side-burns is back! After the success of Black Caesar earlier in the year, this sequel was rushed into production to hopefully cash in on the clamour for Blaxploitation shenanigans. Sadly it's a rush job that is all too evidently half bake...

A lot of crazy shit happens in this film. Like an entire season's plots in 90 minutes. Some gags too. Airport baggage claim was a good gag. I wasn’t always excited for the action or acting. Jarring but inventive. Best assassin in Harlem for a reason....
