VHS Movie Reviews of Jd's Revenge
Movie Review: Great Blaxploitation film. A classic!!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are a fan of the Blaxploitation films of the 70's this is definitely a great movie for your collection. This film is not low-budget and has a great story line and plot. Although the main character being possessed by the spirit of a criminal from the 1930's who is seeking revenge is a little far fetched. Overall, this is a great movie with a great cast. Movie Review: White Shadow Connection...
Summary: 3 Stars
The best thing about this movie is seeing Joan Pringle topless. She was the principal on the "White Shadow" broadcast on CBS. Most impressive.Movie Review: THIS MOVIE CAME OUT THE YEAR I WAS BORN...GOOD FOR ME!

Summary: 4 Stars
I first saw this in the late 70's while on a USN ship in the Med. It was a good distraction - and absolutely hilarious! In those days, the crews would exchange movies while underway via a large canvas bag. We'd send our "viewed" movies to another ship in exchange for the movies they'd seen.EVERY EXCHANGE we'd end up with a copy of J.D.'s Revenge and Revenge of the B Girls. J.D.'s Revenge was so funny that the crew and wardroom watched it nearly every night for nearly 6 months. In a few months, nearly everyone had memorized the entire movie. It was like J.D. was taking over the crew...
Yup. Life was much harsher in the "Old Navy". How could anyone NOT want such an enjoyable (and quotable) movie?
Movie Review: J.D.'s Revenge (1976)
Summary: 4 Stars
I had to get this title. The movie is ok and is worth buying. I enjoyed this movie. It's a movie that I grow-up with as a kid. I refers DVD's to the VHS Tape edition.
Summary of Jd's Revenge
It's been branded with the "blaxploitation" label, but there is little that's exploitive in J.D.'s Revenge, a film of well-drawn, articulate characters dragged into a supernatural showdown. Glynn Turman (Cooley High) is especially fine as the sensitive and quiet Ike, a determined student moonlighting as a cab driver, so wound up he's on the verge of cracking. Enter (literally) the ghost of J.D., a violent, vengeful gangster murdered in the opening moments. He could be Ike's own Mr. Hyde, a dapper, flamboyant ladykiller with a fiery temper and a straight razor who slowly smothers Ike's easygoing personality. Driven by flashes of memory, he sets his vengeful sights on fire-and-brimstone preacher Reverend Bliss (Louis Gossett Jr.), whose dark past is intricately tied up with J.D.'s murder. Director Arthur Marks (Detroit 9000) sidesteps the usual spooky clich?s to stir up a modern New Orleans gumbo of ghost story, gangster tale, and character drama. J.D. is both devilish sadist and avenging angel, while the tortured Ike awakens from J.D.'s violent rampages with a hole in his memory but a sick feeling from his imagined complicity in the crimes. The story gets wrapped up a little too neatly in the end, but the dark character shadings and the evocative mystery at the center of Ike's possession makes J.D.'s Revenge an unexpectedly compelling supernatural thriller. --Sean AxmakerHorror Video
