Plot: The heroes in The Black Godfather are members of an African-American criminal organization. Like Brando in The Godfather, they're not averse to robbery and murder, but they do draw the line at narcotics. When the Mafia infiltrates the 'hood with dangerous drugs, the Black Godfather (Rod Perry) orders his minions to put an end to this perfidy. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

That word was how i felt after i watched this. A lot was left out as far as the plot was concerned. It was somewhat interesting but i expected more. Overall it just didn't do it for me. But once again, if you are a collector i suggest you purchase it, Otherwise sit back and read a book.

Leroy Jackson is one bad moutha!!! He's wanted by the Mafia, the FBI, drug dealers, and many others!!!

Leroy Jackson was one of the first black toughguy characters. Leroy does things his own way. It's his way or the highway.

He's also loved by the ladies. He has a way with street hookers. They don't even make him pay!!!

Anyway, the script is great and the acting is top-notch. Everyone's trying to keep Leroy down, but he refuses to stay down. My favorite scene is where Leroy is jaywalking and a driver honks at him to get out of the way. An incensed Leroy yells "Kiss my black ***!" Where did the writers come up with such dialogue?!!

Buy the Black Godfather. It's a classic!
