Editorial Review: Amazon.com: It's been branded with the "blaxploitation" label, but there is little that's exploitive in J.D.'s Revenge, a film of well-drawn, articulate characters dragged into a supernatural showdown. Glynn Turman (Cooley High) is especially fine as the sensitive and quiet Ike, a determined student moonlighting as a cab driver, so wound up he's on the verge of cracking. Enter (literally) the ghost of J.D., a violent, vengeful gangster murdered in the opening moments. He could be Ike's own Mr. Hyde, a dapper, flamboyant ladykiller with a fiery temper and a straight razor who slowly smothers Ike's easygoing personality. Driven by flashes of memory, he sets his vengeful sights on fire-and-brimstone preacher Reverend Bliss (Louis Gossett Jr.), whose dark past is intricately tied up with J.D.'s murder. Director Arthur Marks (Detroit 9000) sidesteps the usual spooky clichés to stir up a modern New Orleans gumbo of ghost story, gangster tale, and character drama. J.D. is both devilish sadist and avenging angel, while the tortured Ike awakens from J.D.'s violent rampages with a hole in his memory but a sick feeling from his imagined complicity in the crimes. The story gets wrapped up a little too neatly in the end, but the dark character shadings and the evocative mystery at the center of Ike's possession makes J.D.'s Revenge an unexpectedly compelling supernatural thriller. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great Blaxploitation film. A classic!!If you are a fan of the Blaxploitation films of the 70's this is definitely a great movie for your collection. This film is not low-budget and has a great story line and plot. Although the main character being possessed by the spirit of a criminal from the 1930's who is seeking revenge is a little far fetched. Overall, this is a great movie with a great cast. Rating:  - White Shadow Connection...The best thing about this movie is seeing Joan Pringle topless. She was the principal on the "White Shadow" broadcast on CBS. Most impressive. Rating:  - THIS MOVIE CAME OUT THE YEAR I WAS BORN...GOOD FOR ME!JD HAD ME ROLLING JUST SNICKERING,CRACKING UP...NOTHING BUT HA HA HA!YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYING.THIS WILL BE MY BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!...THATS GANGSTA!!,PLUS REMINDING ME OF A FORMER FRIEND NAME MIKE BILLIE,HE WAS SEEING AND HEARING SH.T TO HA HA HA HA HA,YEAH!!! Rating: - Endless Repetition...I first saw this in the late 70's while on a USN ship in the Med. It was a good distraction - and absolutely hilarious! In those days, the crews would exchange movies while underway via a large canvas bag. We'd send our "viewed" movies to another ship in exchange for the movies they'd seen. EVERY EXCHANGE we'd end up with a copy of J.D.'s Revenge and Revenge of the B Girls. J.D.'s Revenge was so funny that the crew and wardroom watched it nearly every night for nearly 6 months. In a few months, ... Read More Rating: - J.D.'s Revenge (1976)I had to get this title. The movie is ok and is worth buying. I enjoyed this movie. It's a movie that I grow-up with as a kid. I refers DVD's to the VHS Tape edition. Browse for similar items by category:
