While I'm still awaiting to hear from another stranger who can figure out the mystery behind the missing plot, let me say that THE BLACK CONNECTION is simply one of those rare occasions where everything from the acting to the violence talks dirt cheap. This was generally known for casting a soul singing trio called The Checkmates Ltd., whom you most definitely never heard of, or if ever in your life. They spice up the 70s soul sound with their stylish keyboard-driven tunes, if not the most spectacular thing I've heard. Expect any "bad" movie to be good just for fun and laughs, and it's the centerpiece you need to recreate a nostalgic drive-in movie night. You can lay around or kiss your sweetie during the show if you'd like, or wait for the bitter end to slowly arrive, which is worth the admission. But don't miss that infamous "Fat Man Chop Socky" scene, going down in history as the craziest idea ever planned for an "action" film! I would never rate this, or other bottom-of-the-barrel goodies higher than three, but it's definitely good if you want to keep out of modern culture for a while. Then again, let's always remember to spare some time left over for seeing what once was forgotten.
