Black Shampoo

[Andrew]

Jonathan is part hairdresser, mostly gigolo, and all man.  This movie can never decide if it is a simple exploitation movie, a silly comedy, or a violent shocker.

Never heard of this movie before, but after reading this description, I'm rather glad I hadn't.  The movie sounds way to perverted for me and doesn't seem to have much a of fix on a genre almost from the description.  Oh yeah, this movie was definitely made before the knowledge of STDs because from what I read, probably the entire cast by now has one disease.

Um, yeah...  that wig mannequin looks suspiciously like a giant lime-green sex-toy with a human head mounted on top. I'm betting you could make a serious drinking game out of taking a shot every time this movie displays some kind of off-the-wall sexual imagery.

Since I don't drink, I'll just pass on the movie altogether.

Does anyone else think the circular white thing on the front resembles an old rotary dial phone???

That's one multi-tasking phallic object if it is!

Jeez, I cannot look at a hair curler without wincing now.  Thanks Andrew.

This film can be described in one word. "Blaxploitation." Whatever happened to "Blaxploitation?" Some good films came out of that, such as "Blacula" w/ William H. Marshall in the title role.

This, sir, is the mos EPIC win ever. I laughed so hard at this my sides actually hurt a little.

As for the movie, never heard of it, but after reading the review I know that I'll have to see it some day, just to check how bad it actually is.

I love this movie.   the acting is so bad it is actually confusing

[Ken Begg]

Yeah, saw this years ago, and the only thing I remember is the death by curling iron (also employed via a different orifice in, I think, Sleepaway Camp).  Man, that's just not right.

Hey, I didn't put that in the script.  I just made sure you heard about it.  Imagine my surprise the first time I watched this film and that occurred.

I don't remember a whole lot of phallic objects; it's just that one thing.  The wig mannequin tends to attract the viewer's attention in any scene that includes that hideous thing.

I know there were discrimination, poverty and segregation at the time, but from watching these movies, I do sometimes fantasize that I was a 20-year-old African American living in Newark, New Jersey in 1972 ...

i just wrote a review of this "movie" today, and found yours with a google image search...yours is even more hilarious than my take--good job!

The scene is funny, but also creepy in a number of ways, and do not attribute my "bush" comment to simple hyperbole. Have you ever seen a '70s porn film? It's like watching a bath mat fighting with a boa constrictor. Egad, but the '70s were woolly.

This is my absolute favorite Andrew quote.
