sol (SPOILERS ALERT) After knocking off a number of top mobsters from the L.A Syndicate down Mexico way Slaughter-no first name necessary-played by Big Bad Jim Brown, the baddest dude on the planet, becomes a marked man with the mob having a contract put out on his life. As we all would expect Slaughter is no one to mess with and the mob finds that out the hard way. By being blown away by him by the time the movie is finally over.In between we have Slaughter have some action with the ladies who ends up either dead or beaten into a pulp, by the mob, for associating with him. There's also Slaughter's two top adversaries in the film mob boss Duncan played by a buffoonish looking Ed McMahon and his top hit-man Kirk played by real life hero, who lost the sight of one eye breaking up a mugging in NYC, Don Stroud. To make things even worse for Stroud or Kirk is that he ends up beaten into raw hamburger meat by a gun-less Slaughter and then shot to pieces by him when he obviously had broken his fists banging them against the helpless man skull. That's without Kirk, who looked either drunk or on sleeping pills, never even bothering to throw a punch back in return in trying to defend himself!Slaughter of course has no trouble slaughtering anyone who gets in his way and on top of that the local police don't even bother arresting and questioning him for all the slaughtering he's done in the movie that must have push the body count higher then the body count of 1992 L.A riots! With his job now done after wiping out the entire Southern Califronia Crime Synadicate Slaughter who had unearth a list of all the politicians and police higher ups working for the syndicate is then allowed to leave town on an all expenses paid vacation, courtesy of the LAPD, to Paris France to continue his slaughtering exploits there!P.S I was bracing myself for a sequel to the movie "Slaughter's Big Rip-Off", which incidentally was a rip-off of the original "Slaughter", to follow in it's blood splattered and bone crushing footsteps. But happily enough for the people living in the "City of Lights" they as well as we were speared the third expected "Slaughter",or slaughter-house, film that if released would probably have been called "Slaughter in Paris".

lastliberal Stella Stevens is off on the Poseidon Adventure, so Slaughter has to find a new girlfriend in this sequel in his battle with the mob. Judith M. Brown's audition was certainly a nice start, but she's no Stella. Of course, Gloria Hendry is working hard to keep him on a leash.It was a treat to see Ed McMahon and Don Stroud, and Scatman Crothers, along with Brock Peters. They definitely made the sequel more interesting.Dick Anthony Williams plays a classic pimp with the jive talk and flashy threads who joins Slaughter in a rip off scheme. Unfortunately, Stroud takes him for a ride. Stroud makes a classic mistake, however, and Slaughter is ready for action.The cool dude just does the job.

Poseidon-3 Brown returned to his role from the year before (in "Slaughter") for this rough follow-up film. In the original, he had avenged his parents' slaying by wiping out a huge mob organization in Mexico. Here, he is the one being pursued (retaliated against) by a money launderer portrayed by McMahon. When the first assassination attempt fails, Brown is back in action once more, kicking gangster butt all over the place while trying to protect his new girlfriend Hendry. While the original film was, overall, a better and more coherent movie, this one delivers all the exploitation aspects in far heavier doses, making it more pleasing to fans of the genre. Aside from a fairly dreary opening on horseback and a downright deadly car ride down a city street at night, this movie clips along at a very brisk pace. Every few minutes there appears one or more of the following: drug use, sex, nudity, gunplay, murder or some other action. Brown is his usual reliable, amiable self, helped by his amazing physical presence which goes a long way in glossing over any stiffness in his acting. McMahon is a riot! With tinted glasses and his hair parted down the middle (!), he is shown meting out orders to his gang of thugs and is overheard making passionate love to his fur-clad bimbo. Seeing Johnny Carson's sidekick in a role like this is a perverse thrill. Stroud makes an impression as an intense, racially-bigoted hit-man while Peters adds just a tinge of class as an upright police detective who enlists Brown's aid. Sadly, no mention at all is made of Brown's original sidekicks Don Gordon and Stella Stevens. Suddenly, Brown now has a girlfriend (Hendry) who is likable enough, but lacking in the voluptuousness and personality that Stevens had before. Williams does an outrageous turn as a pimp who can seemingly pick any girl out of a bar and make her an instant member of his harem. The cinematography and overall direction is less polished than the first film, but this one does have a drive and a sense of danger that exceeds the original's feel. The film spends a lot of time in the sewage of organized crime, drugs, prostitution and other vices, but it retains interest through the creativity of its action scenes and the now-startling lack of political correctness. One odd note: A key supporting player in the first film was shown getting shot to death, but pops up here in a different role.

wash-3 The movie itself is pretty good - but only the ORIGINAL version with the awesome soundtrack by James Brown. For the dvd release, the studio was too cheap to buy the rights to original music, so they replaced it with new, generic sounding funk music! And they didn't even change the credits or the packaging to reflect that! That's a pretty big slap in the face to the father of funk himself, so that's why I say avoid this DVD at all costs.
