TNT Jackson (1979, Color, 72 Minutes): Superfox Dianna Jackson is known as "TNT" Jackson. TNT is out to avenge her brother's murder and bust up the heroin ring that ordered the hit. Baring her body or using excessive force, TNT is ready to go all the way to settle the score. Crazy nude kung fu and fake funerals with narcotic-filled coffins highlight this supercharged blaxploitation saga. Filmed in the Philippines by the extremely prolific Cirio Santiago, who is best known for over-the-top women-in-prison movies such as Big Bird Cage, The Big Doll House and Women in Cages. Jeanne Bell (aka Jeannie Bell) was a Playboy Playmate of the month (October 1969) before appearing in a string of black exploitation films starting in 1972, including Trouble Man, Black Gunn, Three the Hard Way and others. Starring Jeanne Bell, Stan Shaw, Pat Anderson, Ken Metcalf. Produced and Directed by Cirio Santiago.The Black Godfather (1974, Color, 95 Minutes): Modern day asphalt warriors battle it out in a dark world of liquor, sex and bullets. Overseeing it all is ruthless numbers king, Nate Williams (music legend Jimmy Witherspoon). This Black Godfather realizes that the old school ways of doing business are being abandoned and his reign is soon to end. Without a son and heir, Nate looks to master pimp JJ to take over his rackets and hustles. JJ starts a drug war with white trafficker, Tony Burton, as part of his ambitious plan to use corrupt drug profits to fund a glorious, militant black power uprising. The Black Godfather is a raw exploration of inner city life filled with fantastic 70's fashion, funky music, shocking violence and primitive sex. A relic of its time but also an obvious influence on hip, modern day filmmakers, The Black Godfather is an iconic and engrossing low budget crime melodrama. Starring Rod Perry, Damu King, Don Chastain, Jimmy Witherspoon. Written, Produced and Directed by John Evans.

Action Packed!
The main attraction for this double feature is "TNT Jackson". Diana aka TNT travels abroad to seek revenge for the death of her brother. She discovers that her brother was mixed up with some serious drug dealers. This tough lady uses karate to survive in this male dominated movie. The movie is action packed and also stars Stan Shaw as TNT's love interest.The script really is good, even though the film is low budget. If you are a fan of black soul cinema movies from the 1970s (black exploitation movies) then this is a must have for your collection. You get two movies for the price of one (just like the theaters offered in the 1970s). The second movie is "The Black Godfather". It is what it is.

like a Chinese bar owner with an obvious Philippines accent
Problem was quality of the picture, which is low VHS, watchable but not ideal. You need to ignore some of the issues of the 70's time, like a Chinese bar owner with an obvious Philippines accent, some HK thugs speaking Mandarin instead of Cantonese (at times mixing the 2), almost comedic fight scenes, not well choreographed... The picture and acting is good for that period.

TNT Dynamite!
This was a great film in my opinion. I love black movies of the 70s. But that's just me. I always thought Foxy Brown and Christie Love were the best back then. But Jeanne Bell did a great job! She reminds me of a female Jim Kelly. The story slowly gathers momentum but is easy enough to ride along with. She really begins to kick ass as time moves forward. And even the black guy co- star seems pretty interesting. They throw in a curve here and there and end with a predictable climax. But for the 70s, this was a good one!
