Good story
Added 11/6/2009
I thought this was going to be another over the top blaxpoitation film, but I was wrong. There was a good moral story behind Black Sister's Revenge and I'm not going to spoil it. The picture quality is fine for a movie like this, plus the cost is low. I've watched it about 15 times, so I can honestly say that I don't regret the purchase. If you're looking to add to your blaxploitation collection, this is a worthy purchase.

Nice Movie from the 70's
Added 5/15/2009
If you love those 70's flicks then this one is a winner. I love action packed movies and typically I am not too fond of the old ones because they are not as realistic as the new age, but this one is good. It has a good meaning and it keeps you into it.

Oh, what a day in the hood it turned out to be for Jesse

I was lucky, or unlucky, enough to see this movie Fri. night 3/21/08 on the TCM channel. This is what you get when you can't sleep. By the way, it was followed by Penitentiary, but I digress. This movie hooked me like a roadside fatality car accident, I didn't want to look, but I couldn't look away. The acting was awful, but the story was interesting; it showed the lengths a sister would go to for her man, when she ain't got nothing to lose and she is from "Sippi" or Mississippi for the unhip. And, let those last five minutes be a lesson to those of you who don't know that "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". Especially a country black woman who has robbed a bank to bring about the release of her man from the big house.
I'm going to buy this movie right now so I can watch it again at my leisure with my friends.

I love this movie! I grew up in the 70's and just takes you back to the days in the "hood" and how things use to be.

Title is misleading
Added 4/16/2007
I saw this movie way back in '91. You see the cover and you think a soft porn, women prison flick. Actually it's about hustling black youths in poverty stricken, Compton. Has its hysterically funny moments like Burgeouis (Boo-zwah) Californian cousins looking down on cornbread, southern accented Emma and her World War 2 looking sandles.
'Will somebody please buy the girl some new sandles.' No wonder her feet is so rough she can walk on fire and feel nothing.
Or you can laugh hard at how she kicks Jess' behind for cheating on her with a bald headed woman complete with red lipstick, (Remember those old bald headed mannequins that used to scare the pants off you, when you were a kid in those dept. stores? Yeah, she looked like that.)
You also laugh at the music score and how the movie really looks like someone was bored, rounded up a few kids from the hood, grabbed a camcorder, gave 'em a few cheasy lines, started filming, gave 'em $20 for their time and sparse acting skills, and somehow managed to get it all on VHS/DVD. This movie couldn't have cost more than $1000 to make, but it isn't bad for a few laughs when you're rained in, tired of watching tv and movie reruns and looking to make fun of something.
By the way, you have to see one of the boyfriends tie his shirt into a bow in the front. Women used to do that in the '70's. It's funny to see.
