That Man Bolt (1973) Henry Levin & David Lowell Rich

To take a briefcase from Hong Kong to Mexico City, via Los Angeles, is it necessary to call on that man – Bolt? With the number of dangerous spies and gangsters who are after that briefcase, maybe Jefferson Bolt is not enough.

Exactly that is what you get. A somehow black version of James Bond. Blaxploitation star Fred Williamson does a good job, fast story lines and a lot of action. He even uses some special gadgets and travels around the world – of course not to forget – he gets the hot chicks. One of his best one liner – if he just finished some part of his job “charming”. Of course not a shaft, coffy or foxy brown but a really nice second line blaxploitation flic. The addition of some martial arts shows also the KungFu heyday – of course not too professional but enjoyable.

Very good stunts, nice international locales and decent acting, this one is cool ‘turn off your brain’ fun. This film is rated R for tons of violence and a bit of nudity–and it’s probably not a great film for kids or mother-in-law.
