One of the forgotten, low key Blaxploitation film

Well, I first saw pieces of this film years ago on TBS, but I was either watching something else at the time or the ads made me forget to come back to it. I recall thinking that I never saw this one with Bernie Casey and PAMELA Grier before! Since those years (I am sure well over ten), I have not seen anything from this film since.
I could not find a download, stream or disc! Combine that with the oh so common movies name, that further complicated things. I was also waiting for a blu-ray to come out. Once I looked into it some more, along with other blaxploitation titles like "Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold" being available only on Warner burned on demand DVD, I figured I would bite the bullet and get this DVD, since a BD seems to be out of the question.
SO I get it and open to find that it is a burned DVD with fingerprints all over it. It did appear to have been factory sealed. The first thing I wanted to check for was the quality of the picture. Everything in my chain is 4K, and the picture quality was not bad. It was strong and colorful. It had strong enough detail to almost not make you care if a BD never came out.
The sound was basic and it would have been better if it would have been in mono, since center channel speakers sound better. it was clear.
This film was pretty good. If you thought that Pam Grier got naked in her other films - this was takes the cake! My lord! This makes me want to go visit the 74 year old right now to find out what she has left! Man, people sure got totally nude in those 70's films!
I hate to give away the layout of the film and I like to focus on the quality. Since you are unlikely to find this on BD of download, or bootleg, or anything else - you might as well get it on DVD. I personally don't like adding any new DVD's to my collection, as I prefer BD or 4K only, but I had no choice. At least Warner did not give Mill Creek type of poor quality on the disc, so that is positive.
I would recommend this to a friend

Early 1970s one of the best black action movies of all time with Berie Casey & Pam Grier
