Death Force (1978) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a man shot and left for dead by his drug lord partners. He wakes up stranded on an island with Japanese soldiers left there since World War II. They train him on the art of fighting and sword work. When he is rescued from the island the man sets out on a path for revenge against those that left him stranded to begin with.
This movie is directed by Cirio H. Santiago (Firecracker) and stars James Iglehart (Savage!), Leon Isaac Kennedy (Lone Wolf McQuade), Carmen Argenziano (Broken Arrow) and Jayne Kennedy (Chips).
This is one of those movies that's more fun than good. The cast is well selected and fit their characters perfectly. The action scenes are entertaining with some fun shootouts, sword fights and hand to hand action sequences. There is a decapitation scene in this that's awesome.
The training scenes on the island are fun too and had me laughing at times. The background music is very well selected and give the movie a classic feel from this era.
Overall, this movie is far from perfect, or from being one of the better blaxploitation movies, but it is worth a watch. I would score this a 5.5-6/10 and recommend seeing it once.
