..Aside of some racial slurs by some bigoted assholes & having the dubious title of Black Eye in my books I wouldn't consider this blaxploitation. Most everything Fred Williamson did besides Black Caesar, Hell Up in Harlem & Bucktown I wouldn't consider as part of the genre. Williamson is a cool private eye this time out which isn't too hard b/c it's not too far gone from the detectives he often portrays. The only difference between the 2 roles is as a cop he tries to run. Here he gets in a couple scraps but most of the time just asks questions while eating peanuts from his pocket. Apparently he needs the high protein in case he has to kick some ass. I'm half way to being a private eye myself as my drawers are always filled w/ an assortment of tasty nuts to enjoy
