Review of Mandinga

Mandinga (1976)
The other installment
4 February 2005
This time around no one who was behind the production of "Mandingo",and "Drum",were no where in sight. Do you blame them? I first saw this film once when it was showed years ago during Friday After Dark on Cinemax,and I found this film to be the most humorous if not piece of pathetic cinema I've ever seen,and for good reason why this film is nothing but cheap imitational garbage that was made for a few dollars on the penny. This was one of the worst films ever to come out of the mid-1970's,and to me the year 1976 brought out some of the worst,especially from the format of you might say,"Bad Italian Cinema". The film "Mandinga" is an Italian rip-off of the 1975 film "Mandingo",but with more sleaze and explicit sexual content you can handle that is absolutely hilarious to watch,especially with some of the ugliest actors ever to grace the screen. As the movie begins.we see life on the plantation:Slaves getting whipped,slaves talking back and from there getting their butts promptly whipped. In the first fifteen minutes of this film,and this is below the belt where a white woman is lectured about how she should never lower herself and have sexual relations with a slave. The slave is chained up so she jumps on him. Soon the white man,or master of the plantation is having sex with a chained up slave woman,and it gets even worse,because throughout the course of this film,which runs no more than 89 minutes,there are about as many sex scenes that they could get into this movie,and I counted more than eight,and some include bits of homosexuality where the white woman and the chained up slave woman are in a lesbian romance. The rest of it is nothing but sleaze,showing more breasts and lots and lots of interracial sex,with a low budget and some very bad acting. This isn't a installment. Its a disgrace.
