Mean Johnny Barrows (1975)






















Starring: 
Johnny Barrows (Fred Williamson, Black Cesar) is a Vietnam vet who received a dishonorable discharge and is now unemployed and living on the streets of Los Angeles. A mobster (Stuart Whitman) offers him a job in the syndicate to kill the rival drug-running DaVinci family (led by Roddy McDowall, PLANET OF THE APES). This classic blaxploitation action film co-stars Luther Adler (CRAZY JOE), Mike Henry (TARZAN AND THE VALLEY OF GOLD), Leon Isaac Kennedy (PENITENTIARY), and Elliott Gould (MASH).
