Cult director Larry Cohen (It's Alive) directed this violent blaxploitation film. Nasty racist John McKinney cripples a black shoeshine boy, who grows up to be Tommy Gibbs (Fred Williamson), the Godfather of Harlem.

The film was great because of his thugness, love for his mother, and commitment to Helen. I was slightly confused about Tommy's (Fred Williamson) occupation, but as I watched the film, I figured it out.
