The Italian mafia tries to horn in on

The Italian mafia tries to horn in on the ghetto numbers business in 1956 Chicago. Stars Paul Harris and Frank DeKova are too good for this incoherent, exploitative, and occasionally incompetent period blaxploitation picture that features a transvestite hit man.

Jive Turkey should actually be heard of a

Jive Turkey should actually be heard of a little more then the genre talks about because it does have a true flavor of the streets. Unfortunately it's super low production values ends up being its undoing in the end & keeps it from rising up from just being a middle of the road film. That's not a snobbish remark because something like Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song was able to accomplish a hell of a lot more w/ a fuck of a lot less. The gum that makes Jive Turkey all stick together is just a bit stale @ times & lacks flavor. It does have times that it burst that flavor of chitlins & collard greens from time to time in your mouth but it only comes in waves. Paul Harris a is deep voiced Barry White cool mother-fucker though & the best thing about it. Gonna have to check to the likes of The Mack & Truck Turner again & watch The Slams & keep an eye out for him

Gave this a look while trawling through the last handfuls of Blaxploitation films that I had yet to see, and this one was unfortunately lesser-known for a reason, as it is a period piece that they obviously couldn't afford to really carry through with, as nothing looked of any other period save for a few vintage autos used here and there, and it was just distracting. Pass, unless you're just crossing stuff off a list the way I was.
