Bill K @BDKowalski 1d Literally the official movie of my family. My mom, dad and Brothers and I have watched this many times. We have memorized large chunks of the dialogue and are happy to repeat them in authentic accents upon request. Perry King limps his way into mega-ham status as the horny son of James Mason’s faux-drawling character. And every white person in this movie is a dimwit racist as well as a possible sadist. There’s really nobody redeeming in the bunch who isn’t enslaved. My ancestors owned slaves, which I deplore as even back then nobody thought this was right, but this movie helped me to be even more disgusted in them that I already was. What’s not to like when you hear James Mason straining to sound like a sudden when he says "What’s the matter boy? Don’t you craves Big Pearl?"

See more 09/16/2021 A disturbingly accurate rendition of the most horrible of times for Black people in history. I saw this as a child mainly because I was a huge Ken Norton fan, & always will be. He plays the "Mandingo," a specially trained fighter for gambling in those days. Norton does a tremendous job, almost a Natural in Acting at least in this, his first of only 2 films, the other being a similar Bomb called "Drum," again the title character, Norton. So this is worth watching not only for its brutally accurate historical value, but for the acting & especially the fight scenes which are awesome. Not for the young, under 16 audience, maybe even under 18. Disturbing, brutal, well directed & the great Ken Norton make for a very memorable, underrated classic, even in 2021.
