Black Gunn is a 1972 blaxploitation film directed by Robert Hartford-Davis. The film stars Jim Brown as Gunn, a successful nightclub owner who becomes embroiled in a violent conflict between his militant-minded brother and the white gang syndicate his brother has attacked and robbed.
Gunn is a respected businessman who has worked hard to establish himself in the community. He believes that financial independence is the key to equality and success for black people. However, when his younger brother Scotty (played by Martin Landau) becomes involved with a group of radical activists, things start to get complicated.
Scotty has been robbing white-owned businesses in an effort to strike a blow against the establishment. When he steals a large amount of money from a local drug dealer, Gunn finds himself caught in the middle of a dangerous situation. The drug dealer, a ruthless man by the name of Capelli (played by Bruce Glover), demands that Gunn help him locate Scotty and recover his money.
Gunn is reluctant to get involved, but he knows that he has to help his brother. With the help of his loyal employees, including his right-hand man Roy (played by Bernie Casey), and a beautiful woman named Toni (played by Brenda Sykes), Gunn sets out to find Scotty and put an end to the violence.
The film features several thrilling action sequences, including a high-speed car chase through the streets of Los Angeles, a shootout at a waterfront warehouse, and a final confrontation between Gunn and Capelli that is both brutal and satisfying.
Overall, Black Gunn is a classic blaxploitation film that explores themes of brotherhood, loyalty, and the struggle for self-determination in a world that is stacked against black people. With its strong performances, exciting action, and catchy soundtrack, it remains a cult favorite among fans of the genre.
