Rather than post a 'Daily Trailer' article on this glorious holiday, we thought we'd go all out and post a Blaxploitation 'double-bill' for your immense enjoyment. That's right - two complete (and completely crazy) films for you to watch! Can you dig it? The two films we've chosen are the 1975 'classics' The Black Gestapo and Welcome Home Brother Charles (A.K.A. Soul Vengeance). 



While many of the Blaxploitation films of the 1970s were interested in detailing the day-to-day struggles of the inner city black man, entries to the genre started to become more and more outlandish. Filmmakers started crossing into other genres to try stand out from the crowd, and to keep those box offices buzzing. 



Films like Blacula (1972) and Blackenstein (1973) were two particularly memorable (and somewhat inevitable) forays into the horror scene, but perhaps the most surprising genre crossover was that of The Black Gestapo - the world's only Nazi-Blaxploitation film.



​When General Ahmed (Rod Perry) and his People's Army fail to make a dent against the Mafia lowlifes running his town, his second in command Colonel Kojah (Charles Robinson) takes a more extreme and militaristic  approach, creating a 'security division' to take them on. While he is successful in kicking those mob jerks out of power, he and his followers soon replace them as the new criminal element in town. Before long, Kojah and his men are all decked out in Nazi-style black costumes, living out of a mansion with white bitches as servants. Can the peaceful General Ahmed stop Kojah before it's too late?
