Black Fist (1974)

An American crime film directed by Timothy Galfas and Richard Kaye.
An African American street fighter goes to work for a crime boss who ends up being in league with a corrupt cop. The fighter is unhappy with this arrangement and violence ensues.
This is another one of those "Blaxploitation" films where the tough guy with dark skin seeks revenge on those who have wronged him. The soundtrack was AMAZING! There's some really groovy funk and disco going on through the whole film. The fight scenes weren't anything special and I've experienced a very similar plot before. Comparing this to Killer Of Snake Fox Of Shaolin is worthwhile because it demonstrates what I mean by "visibility". Most of this film was made in low light settings and even when the setting is outside during the day, the contrast looks weird. It is, in fact, not very visible. I'm rating it o.k. because of played out plot, shitty video but really really good music.
