South African-shot blaxploitation
21 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
MISTER DEATHMAN is a blaxploitation thriller shot in South Africa, oddly enough. This gives a suitably exotic backdrop for the usual Bond-style shenanigans to play out. The hero is a secret agent tasked with rescuing a kidnapped scientist from an evil corporation. David Broadnax is the unknown lead but he's pretty likeable in the part; a shame the movie itself is so cheap and sloppy, however. I'm sure in one car-off-a-cliff stunt it looks like the car was built out of balsa wood. Stella Stevens has an unusual role as the villainess but for once her sexuality is played down. MISTER DEATHMAN's heart is in the right place but in the end this is simply too cheap to be that entertaining.
