Let's put it this way. Wile E. Coyote and Elmer Fudd are disguised as dimwitted mafia members here, trying to force Scatman Crothers to give up his boxing space which ultimately brings out his daughter (Gloria Hendry) and the title character Jim Kelly to fight them, and these two delightful martial art experts are a rough and tough variation of Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner. This is delightfully funny action film that focuses on martial arts, choreographed and performed in a way that is often comical with buffoonish mobsters unable to deal with the fast-moving Kelly and Hendry. Not for the kiddies though as no matter how it is performed, it is still a glorification a violence, although the teen girls utilize as trampeze artists to perform various duties is more cute than violent.
Every time a slug or slap or kick or whack is done, you expect the pow and bam famous from the "Batman" series. On the surface, Kelly doesn't look so tough, thin and lean yet fast and furious, very sexy wearing nothing but gym shorts in most scenes. When Hendry gets into the action, the action is more profound than funny at first, although watching her take down a bunch of pool room hustlers who were involved in the death of her father, Scatman Crothers, does bring on lots of chuckles as she takes off her shoes and unbuttons the front of her dress to get into action. He has a lot more to do here than she did in "Black Caesar". This time, you really have someone to root for, because the leading players are not Mobsters or Killers, just out to stop them from taking over and start more illegal activity. I don't think I stopped smiling at this one throughout because it is entirely just a complete delight, very funny as the beautiful Henry chases down men twice her size.
