Review of Black Fist

Black Fist, one of the many martial arts films produced during the mid-1970’s, revolves around a young man who works on the streets of Los Angeles as a street fighter, Leroy Fist. Fist, who is portrayed by Richard Lawson, becomes involved with the mob and actually begins working for the local mob boss. During this time he works with a wide variety of seedy characters, including hoodlums and even some dirty cops. Eventually he changes his mind and decides that he wants to try to change his life.

After a receiving a large sum of money from a successful fight he purchases his own club; however, he discovers that his decision to break free isn’t as easy as he had originally thought. The mob kills his wife and Fist finds himself forced to seek revenge and retribution for the killing. The process of his revenge shows a lot of exhilarating and exciting action that will be sure to thrill any martial arts fan.

This film was also released under the names of Black Streetfighter as well as Homeboy. This is an excellent film, filled with a lot of exciting action and adventure. Unlike some martial arts films, there isn’t a lot of deep characterization; however, if you’re simply looking for a film to wow you for a couple of hours with some amazing martial arts stunts and tricks, this one is a winner to choose.
