"Black Sampoo" tells the story of a black hairdresser, who, due to his physics, is booked by lonely ladies hungry for sex. When he falls in love with his new receptionist, things soon turn ugly, as he discovers that she has been previously involved with the organized crime and is now chased by them, thus bringing everyone in the saloon in serious danger.The movie pretty much starts as a soft porn and develops into a very average mob story. It is neither very creative nor innovative, but at least it tries to provide some sort of story to connect the nude scenes in between. The acting is actually not bad and all together this could be just an average trash movie, if it wasn't for a very ugly scene. In this scene the character tries to rape a girl and, after a while, seems to convince her into mutual sex. Now of course this whole film objectifies women anyway, which is bad enough in itself, nevertheless this tops everything that happened before. The idea that is sent out through this, that "No!" is really just a "Try harder!" is so ugly that I cannot but give the lowest rating here.All in all this is a lot of nudity connected by a mediocre story and a very unhealthy attitude towards sexual independence.

This is the best movie ever made! This movie is so great, I chose this as my name here at IMDb.There is not a dull moment in this movie. This is a classic tale of good vs. evil. Lot's of character building, nudity, natural beauty, gotta love the car scenes, and the chainsaw killings in the end. This movie could have only taken place in the 1970s. The plot, the clothes, the cars and the acting is over the top. That is why I love this movie so much. Movies today suck really bad and really too much on CGI with the same actors that portray the same role in every film they do. The only thing this move is missing is a high-speed car chase scene and perhaps a scene from the airport with a Boeing 707 flight on Pam Am or Branniff. That would make the movie flawless. :)Go out and ad this DVD to your collection. This is a great movie to watch with your buddies or even on dates. Yes I've even shown this movie on first dates and ended up as lucky as Mr. Jonathan himself. ;)

Well I'm not saying it's one of my favorite movies but it's entertaining in a "that could never happen" kind of way. I think really bad acting can be funny, as is the case in this movie..also bad editing and cheesy "soft core"...material is humorous to me. I got a good laugh out of it! For instance, there's a scene in the beginning where Mr. Jonathat does a 'house call' and he gets 'attacked' by two white chicks, and the camera pans to some floating object in the pool! There was no reason for it, and I can't even tell what the object is to be honest! That type of really bad film production is entertaining somehow.

This is one of the worst blaxploitation flicks I have seen. More incompetent than Disco Godfather. Tries to be an action/skin flick; fails at both. Starts with lots of skin, although one of the women is just not attractive in any sense. Goes through the motions with an "evil white mobsters" plot that goes nowhere. Half the movie is dialogue free montoge to music that, mercifully, is easy enough to fast forward. The ending sequence with the chainsaw killings and poker-cue as spear ripped straight from "Sweet Sweet Back" are violent enough I guess. Only really amusing feature is the ridiculous dialogue given to the hairdressers; but even this is soured by an unnecessary curling iron as anal probe sequence. Avoid this picture at all costs; I wish I did.
