Member venoms5 Posted December 30, 2007 Member Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yes, it played a lot of theaters back in 1975 and was a huge hit then. It caused quite a stir. The poster is awesomely inflammatory too with its GONE WITH THE WIND inspired artwork. MANDINGO wasn't meant as a comedy and I didn't find anything funny in it but the sequel has 100 times more crazy exploitation value than the first and is so OTT you can't help but laugh. I wonder if Warren Oates was embarrassed for having done that one? So many big names in both of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have gone for a Roger Corman vibe than a "My Dinner with Andre" vibe. He should have especially stuck to Roger's credence that a movie should be no longer than 90 minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
