Director: William Girdler
Sheba, Bab
Blaxplotation was very popular in the 70s and was simply described as a depiction of black people in movies or other media in a way that appeals to popular and often inaccurate or negative notions of their experiences and qualities. The movie Sheba, Baby was categorized as a blaxploitation film which consisted of long sharks, pimps, and an angry Black Woman with a gun. The star of the movie, Pam Grier, was a gun toting ex cop who returns to Kentucky to confront thugs who are trying to intimidate her father into handing over his legitimate loan servicing business.
Overall, I found the movie to be pretty decent, even with the bad acting from some of the characters who would look directly into the camera while saying their lines. The action scenes were shot very well and the angles used to capture each characters words and expression was displayed very well. I am a huge fan of Pam Grier movies but this was one I had yet to see. I honestly can say I enjoyed the film.
One of the things I can't say I enjoyed was the fighting scenes between the good guys and bad guys. although we know the punches in todays films are fake, they don't appear to be. Well in this movie, the punches looked rehearsed and sounded fake.
