The Black Connection (1974) - Cult Film Index Review

Obscure exploitation cinema has a way of slipping through the cracks, but The Black Connection (1974) feels like a film rediscovered from a forgotten corner of grindhouse history. Directed by Michael Finn, who had previously worked on multiple Russ Meyer productions and produced by exploitation veteran Harry H. Novak, the film is set in Las Vegas, following drug dealer Miles Carter (Bobby Stevens) as he finds himself in deep with the Italian mob over a missing kilo of cocaine, while simultaneously being hunted by a hitman hired by his own banker. Bobby Stevens is joined by fellow Checkmates Ltd. members Sweet Louie (as Two-Man) and Sonny Charles (as Bruiser), blurring the line between musical performance and crime storytelling throughout. The film's cult reputation rests largely on its almost surreal volume of phone call scenes; characters spend an extraordinary portion of the runtime on the phone describing what they're about to do, giving it an unintentional comedic quality that has endeared it to bad-movie devotees. The Checkmates Ltd. score is consistently singled out as the film's genuine saving grace, keyboard-driven soul that far outclasses its surroundings.
