Product Description:
Based on the best-selling book, Mandingo is a shocking look at plantation life in the Deep South. Mede (Ken Norton) is a slave whose master, Hammond Maxwell (Perry King), intends on keeping him as a prizefighter. As Maxwell focuses his attention on his wenches and Mede's brutal training, his neglected wife (Susan George) turns her passions towards Mede himself. The sordid doings explode across the screen as Mandingo plays out its savage and dramatic story.

Rating:  - Tough Movie
Not your normal "Chic Flic" but it could be...one that takes a look at what might have been back in the bad ole days of the south. The acting and sets were great. The story was complicated but shallow in it's dealing with a possible event. The director went out of his way to "shock" us but in the end only came up with a bad ending. It should make for an interesting remake if someone has the guts to do it right this time...
Rating:  - A Fetish film - Black sexual prowess - White degrneracy.
This is an amazing film - How on earth did they dare? The mith of black sexual superority is exploited by Ken Norton's extrordinary body - He's simply a black "thing" to be lusted after by degenerate crackers - And a beautiful thing it is - Norton is beautiful naked - No actor, but a great stupid stud.
The DVD quality is good (the film itself was muddy - looking sleezy & cheap to begin with) - Get it if you're into nasty black sexual sadistic films - You'll "cream your jeans"!
Rating: - Wonderful film
Somehow, I missed this film throughout the years. I'm SO glad I purchased it, as it has some fine performances; and certainly, a story line that is pertinent for today.
I don't think James Mason EVER gave a bad performance. Perry King, in his young, sensitive days; always an under rated actor.
The supporting cast is to notch, as well. And Ken Norton; certainly as fine an actor as an athlete.
The production values are very good, too. All in all, I'm most pleased with this picture.
Rating: - Still relevant today
Awesome!!! This movie is a must for afro-american history buffs. True it is about Mandingo...black male slave and white woman, but it also showed the black female slave and white male slave owner. The wayward ideas alone will have you sitting on the edge of your seat wondering if it could've happened. Not only did it happen, it's still happening today...in a more modern fashion of course.
Rating: - Classic movie
Mandingo is a classic movie. Excellent actors! I was thrilled to see it finally in DVD. Brenda Sykes and Ken Norton are great in their roles.
