Review of Drum

Drum (1976)
spoilers involving mandingo, too

Nobody should take this review seriously because all I know of Drum is the cast and the plot.

Any movie that had Ken Norton in the lead invites this sort of criticism.

Supposedly this movie is the sequel to Mandingo. Didn't Ken Norton die at the end of Mandingo? Doesn't that kind of prohibit him from being in the sequel apart from flash backs and such?

Okay.

Warren Oates plays the part Perry Kind had in Mandingo. At least one reviewer insists that this is okay because the story takes place 15 years later.

Well, if one character returns as his unrelated but identical twin, what the heck.

I understand that this movie is by turns realistic, sick, funny, has too much nudity, has not enough nudity . . .

Folks, back up. This movie has Ken Norton in the lead. Does anything else need to be said? Anyone who takes it seriously deserves what they get.
