Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

ministerbob Hey all you jive hustlers, you stone foxes, you mean dudes. Watch out cause Slaughter is back in town! If you are looking for a bad-ass, funky film to watch some night, this is just right. 'Slaughter' is back and trying to take it easy n' relax after his adventures down in Mexico. But if you are a narrow-minded gangster like 'Duncan', you are bound to seek revenge. Why, I don't know. Was 'Hoffo' in the first one his brother or what? Any who. The movie starts off with the old "assassination from a plane" routine. We all know that that is THE most effective way for taking out one guy in a picnic, full of people. Needless to say Slaughter survives the ordeal, but Cmndt. Eric Lassard, sorry George Gaynes I mean isn't that lucky. SMACK!! Also Slaughters best friend Pratt is killed. This is the start of a grand adventure, filled with the hippest, funkiest music James Brown himself has to offer. That's right 'The Godfather of Soul' has put his trademark up on this bad-boy. In addition to Jim Brown in the lead part, this movie is filled with some of the biggest names the blaxploitation scene has to offer. How about Scatman Crothers, Dick Anthony Williams, Gloria Hendry and Brock Peters. In other parts we see none other than Judith M. Brown and last but definitely least the fantastic Don Stroud as the evil henchman.

Scarecrow-88 A mob kingpin(Ed McMahon) murders Slaughter's(Jim Brown) associates and he seeks to get even.Duncan(McMahon)puts a hit out on Slaughter, but his friends get shot instead while the gunner flew over his party in a Spearman. Duncan goes to his reliable trigger man(mechanic), Kirk(Don Stroud)to clean up the mess left in the wake of this failed hit. But, Slaughter isn't about to go down without a fight.Plot's simple as that. A revenge actioner where big Jim Brown takes out a mobster's goons as Kirk targets him for extermination. Duncan is in bed with the chief of police(..and other city officials) and Slaughter must secure a list with his name on it for detective Reynolds(Brock Peters).Fans of Jim Brown and blaxploitation should enjoy this, but the plot itself really isn't anything to write home about. Brown, built like a mack truck, makes both black and white women swoon and kicks a lot of ass..a tailor made vehicle designed specifically to make him look cool while defeating those who wish to kill him. Dick Anthony Williams steals the film as a sneering pimp, Joe Creole, who also has a reputation as a safe cracker and is enlisted by Slaughter to lift the list from a safe in Duncan's mansion. Stroud inhibits the usual heavy role of Kirk, a ruthless, cold-blooded henchman who has obviously eliminated a lot of Duncan's competition.The yummy Judith M Brown has a minor role as a former squeeze of Slaughter's who negotiates with him over information regarding those he is after in return for sexual favors(..and, we get to see her fabulous nude body as she disrobes for Slaughter, who didn't need too much coaxing). Gloria Hendry(Live and Let Die) is Slaughter's girlfriend, Marcia, her life soon threatened as Kirk desires the list for his boss. Hoke Howell has a funny cameo as a plane mechanic who, at first, doesn't give out the name of the person who hired the Spearman which flew over gunning down Slaughter's friends. Scatman Crothers stops by as an old friend of Slaughter who leads him to Creole as a favor in regards to finding someone available for opening Duncan's safe.Preposterous sequence where Slaughter somehow survives a car's plunging into the ocean after driving off a cliff, and how he's able to move about freely despite the powerful connections of Duncan is a major logical problem(..you'd think Duncan would have gunmen throughout the city with Slaughter encountering them everywhere he goes, but this is not the case). Plus, the whole opening sequence doesn't properly set the stage for the revenge of the movie(..shouldn't we get to know Slaughter's comrades a bit before they are murdered?). It does deliver the violence, though, as Slaughter lives up to his name, blowing away quite a many of Duncan's men, with blood all over the place. Brown's sheer charisma and presence are of major importance as the plot itself doesn't exactly do him any favors. It's too bad the film doesn't use McMahon more because he is fun to watch as the mafioso with those big shades and ugly suits.

MartinHafer Like the first film in this series (SLAUGHTER, 1972), I think it would be a mistake to just label this a "blaxsploitation film". Sure, Slaughter is a tough, gun-toting, Black man but it's more of an action picture regardless of the color of the leading man or the bad guys--and a very good action picture at that.For the second and final time, Jim Brown plays the title character. The film begins with one of the goofiest scenes I can remember in a film. As Slaughter and his friends are enjoying an outdoor party, along comes a biplane and begins spraying the group with machine gun fire! No, Slaughter isn't so tough that he then shoots down the plane with his .357! But Slaughter is ticked and no one is sure why this hit was happened--however, Slaughter is going to get to the bottom of it! Well, it turns out that the hit was attempted in retribution for the last movie. In it, Slaughter takes on the Mafia and kicks lots of butt down in Mexico. Now, in a horribly bungled and clumsy attempt, the guys in the plane kill and injure quite a few people but miss Slaughter. And, because the job was bungled so badly, the mob boss (Ed MacMahon!!) orders the pilot and gunman killed by his brutal assassin (Don Stroud--in a very typical sort of role for him). Stroud is great--scary and nasty to the core, but Ed MacMahon as the boss?! Wow, that's an interesting twist! Slaughter is now stumped. He figured out who the two guys were in the plane but by the time he got to them, they were dead. So, to help him along in his own private vendetta, Brock Peters (who plays a cop) tells him who the mobsters are who ordered the hit and got Slaughter to agree to help by doing some illegal undercover work. So, Slaughter and his pimp friend break into the mobster's mansion and steal a list of payoffs to key government and police officials. And, naturally, there is a lot of shooting and bloodshed in the process.Stroud isn't about to let Slaughter get away with this and kidnaps Slaughter's girlfriend. Now it's a standoff--Slaughter has the list but if he doesn't give it back, the lady is dead. Being a tough but gallant man, you might just be able to guess much of what happens next.The action is very good in the film and Jim Brown is menacing and tough. The only negative I noticed was that while having MacMahon play this nasty boss, at the end, he simply folded--and way too quickly. When Slaughter catches up to him, MacMahon becomes a wimp and all the previous nastiness disappears--and this is too much of a cliché and inconsistent. Still, despite this minor quibble, it's an engaging film that is NOT for the kids due to all the violence and boobs.

kuciak Slaughters Big Ripoff could be called junk, but that is like calling Birth of A Nation Junk.Is it a good film,no. However it is an interesting film to analyze.Unlike the first Slaughter movie, this one is different in tone. Slaughter has no well meaning white partner like Don Gordon. In fact, except for the beginning, there is no good white male in the entire film. The screenplay writer, a Mr Johnson, who I believe to be African American, I believe is the real auteur of this movie. The opening scene, with an attack by an airplane may remind people of an incident in Tulsa Oklahoma in the early 1920's. Here, an elderly white man, the only good white man in the whole film, who has just lost a close horse race to Jim Brown as Slaughter, is killed by this plane, as is another black person. The attempt was made to kill Slaughter. During this scene, before the attack, their are several tables set up. Ironically, all the black people at this party sit together, separate from the white people. Even here, it is implied somewhat that while blacks and whites can be polite, they cannot be together.Later on, we will meet African American Brock Peter, who at first appears to be antagonistic to Slaughter, while his white boss, who appears to be a "nice guy", we will later learn is corrupt and dealing with the mob, led by all people Ed McMahon (I guess Johnny Carson show didn't pay him enough. Brock Peters however, will help Slaughter, and they form an alliance.The "White World" is shown to be decadent and in decline. Sluaghter beats up three "Rednecks", terrorize's a white perverted drug dealer". During a murder of a white gangster who failed to kill Slaughter, imaginatively done in a swimming pool, especially as all the people at this party (all white) all of a sudden disappear, implying somewhat that "the white world" condones such killing though they try to show that they are respectable. The only good white person from here on end, is a white woman, who just wants to have sex with Slaughter, somewhat suggesting that for her white men are of no use. Slaughter complies, but in no way does he seem to love this woman, while he is making love to a black woman later on, and we feel that he certainly cares more for her. Also a black pimp, who appears to be a sleaze, is allowed to show courage, and that even he, has more good character qualities than "the white man".Don Stroud makes an interesting villain. He appears at the beginning, while he is evil, that he may be a match for Slaughter. But in the end, when Slaughter faces him, he will be no match for Jim Brown's Slaughter. As Jim Brown faces the bad white gangsters in the end, I am struck by his getting his guns ready to put the massacre on these white baddies. Certainly it might go against Martin Luther Kings principals. However, metaphorically, one could see Slaughter getting his guns ready, to go after the people behind James Earl Ray who wanted King dead.This is no classic, it is not even good cinema, but Slaughters Big Ripoff is none the less an interesting movie for what it is saying.
