Blaxploitation Clip: Death Force (1978, James Iglehart, Leon Isaac Kennedy, Jayne Kennedy)

www.daaracarch...
Tossed out to sea and left for dead by two friends, Doug Russell (James Inglehart) washes ashore on a remote island where two Japanese World War II soldiers reside. While the soldiers nurse Russell back to health, they teach him the way of the samurai. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, his former friends Morelli (Carmen Argenziano), and McGee (Leon Isaac Kennedy) wreak havoc in the city on rival gang members to control territory and drugs. Russell's wife Maria (Jayne Kennedy), mourns the death of her husband, after being notified by McGee that Doug died in an accident on the way home. After spending several months on the island, Russell returns home to seek revenge on the men that left him for dead and is terrorizing his wife and city.

Jayne is a Legend. Leon needed to memorize and practice his lines.

[@anthonywest7583]

JAYNE'S BEAUTY WAS BREATHTAKING.

[@anjiharrell6175]

It’s the 1970s

[@SHAKA38]

Nothing like a good ole Saturday Matinee. Jayne was my baby!
😃👍🏿😎

[@beanbean321]

Why are black action movies from the 70s called blaxploitation but other action movies do not get an ethnic ploitation , For example Chinese action movies are never called chineseploitation .

[@cn6519]

Exactly.. it is a label that was falsely placed on black directed movies.. Meanwhile whites and asian cinemas were showing their own ethnic b quality movies all of the time, and they were never called similar. People just came for the the action or suspense. They wasn't too much concern if it was cheesy. Because the NAACP asked to boycott such movies, now we barely have any movies directed and distributed like we did in the 70's.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

I mean, the term literally came from the president of the Beverly Hills NAACP.

[@randy2643]

Never heard of this movie and I'm the biggest Jayne Kennedy fan ever!!!!
Was this before Jayne and Leon hooked up?

[@superlyger]

-the way porn was from this period.

[@cooper482011]

Leon and Jayne are natives of Cleveland, Ohio. Both of them left Cleveland for Hollywood together, dummy.

[@1990758]

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

They were married back in the early 70s

[@SparkleInYourEyes2024]

[@fredwooten14]

Leon worst actor of all time.

[@raggaeldestro]

Freddie Wooten you’re wrong. Treach from Naughty by Nature has that. He makes him look like James Earl Jones.

[@DEKMAN99]

raggaeldestro Right Leon was the worst .

[@oradixiegalloway672]

Leon was a good actor and a fine actor.

[@FranPett]

@ Freddie Wooten Leon wasn’t the worst if you needed a side bursting laugh.
