[Deadance]

I have saw the movie Mandinga It was a Italian movie about salvery anyway I saw it. But they was a movie call Mandingo are there the same movie or different. but the movie Mandingo was on cable last night and I was so tired from work I fall asleep. DAMN I HATE THAT WHEN THAT HAPPEN. So anyway if anybody know what  I'm talking about give me a reply and tell me about the movie Mandingo.

I'm watching it right now. It's about this plantation in Louisiana where slaves are bred. There are lots of sex scenes, bordering on softcore porn, and it's basically about how badly slave owners treated them.

MANDINGO was produced by Dino DeLaurentes in the early-mid '70's. It starred James Mason & Ken Norton (former Heavyweight Boxing Champ).
It's very exploitive. Rough, seedy, violent - a real eye opener!

Same subject. Different films. Mandingo (1975) Mandinga (1976) Can you say possible rip-off? I knew you could.
Dino de Laurentis is not a director, he is a producer. He started producing Italian language films and moved into producing Enlgish language films.
His next film is Alexander the Great (2004) and his last three films were "Red Dragon," "Hannibal," and "U-571."
Producer of "Flash Gordon," which is reviewed at this site, he is also produced "Maximum Overdrive," which is also reviewed at this site.
Richard Fleischer was the director of "Mandingo." Though, he often worked with de Laurentis, including directing "Conan the  Destroyer." John Milius is the director of note for "Conan the Barbarian."
As a side note, for those interested in animation, Richard Fleischer was related to pioneer animator Max Fleischer. Enjoy!

I saw Mandingo in a black studies class.  I was pretty much the only white person. It was tense.  Virtually every scene is over the top, especially the finale and the "love" scene.
