Storyline Based on a true Military operation by Israeli commandos. An Air France
flight is hijacked by the PFLP. The plane has about 100 Jewish
passengers. The plane is grounded in Uganda. Israelis would not
negotiate. The movie then shows how less than 500 soldiers actually flew
so far and rescued the passengers in one of the most successful
Military operations in history. The only casualty for Israely soldiers
was Lt. Col. Jonathan "Yoni" Netanyahu..
Storyline Georgia, Georgia is a 1972 Swedish-American drama film directed by Stig Björkman. It was entered into the 23rd Berlin International Film Festival. Its screenplay, written by Maya Angelou, is the first screenplay written by a black woman; Angelou also wrote the film's soundtrack, despite having very little additional input in the making of the film. -wiki
Acclaimed actress Diana Sands and Dirk Benedict star in this provocative
romantic drama. While performing in Sweden, black singer Georgia (Diana
Sands, The Landlord, Honeybaby, Honeybaby, Willie Dynamite) falls in love
with white photographer Michael Winters. The romance is scorned upon by Georgia's black
traveling companion Alberta (Minnie Gentry, Black Cesar, Greased Lightning), who is most upset by the
interracial relationship as Alberta despises all whites with a
vengeance, and it is her hatred that formulates the film's explosive
climax.
This is an official soundtrack release for the Blax-fu film guest starring Jim Kelly, Golden Needles. The music was composed by the legendary Lalo Schifrin (also the composer for Enter the Dragon). This is not your typical Blaxplotiation soundtrack that you would normally hear. No need to expect much of that funky bass "wah-wah" or the hard hitting congas. This soundtrack has more of a jazzy and stage-screen type of sound. Mostly mood music to correlate with scenes of the film, such as "Health Club Fight" track that is of course, uptempo.

The film is primarily in Italian with English in various parts of the film. I done my best to translate the storyline of the film. The film offers an interesting perspective on Blaxploitation as this film was not made for American release, but filmed in urban areas across the United States while showing the political fight for African-American rights and justice.
Storyline John Bonfiglio (Paolo Villaggio) was sent to attend to some business in the United States by his employer, a wealthy industrialist from Busto Arsizio. Already located there, John is also in charge of hiring a promising American basketball player of color, Ben Ferguson (Sterling St. Jacques, the son of famed blaxploitation actor Raymond St. Jacques) for the Corporate basketball team, which is in need of a player that makes them invincible. Ferguson is immediately available, but before leaving for Italy, he forces Bonfiglio to accompany him on a tour across the United States to settle some personal matters. During the journey, John discovers that the basketball champion actually has not only the interest of the sport, but also politics...
