Black Samurai

ActionAdventureCrimeRomance88 min

A D.R.A.G.O.N. operative goes after the organization that kidnaps a royal family’s daughter, turning a hostage case into a direct assault on a criminal network. Jim Kelly is the martial-arts expert at the center of the mission, moving through a 1977 mix of espionage, crime, and hand-to-hand combat. Marilyn Joi and Bill Roy appear alongside him as the hunt closes in on the group behind the abduction. The setup pulls spy-thriller machinery into blaxploitation action, with Kelly’s screen presence driving the film’s fights and standoffs.
