Viewing Notes
That my library has the Arrow Films blu is nuts and yet unsurprising. Oddly this transfer doesn’t really look better than the one Amazon Prime had (maybe the same one?). Looks like DVD PQ dropped on a blu-ray. Could be the source materials weren’t great to begin with given the time period.
Since I didn’t get to my blaxploitation project last year maybe I’ll kick it off with this film.
