Friday Foster (1975)

Blaxploation film adapted from the syndicated comic strip of the same name that ran form 1970-1974, 'Friday Foster' stars Pam Grier as the titular magazine photographer, who stumbles upon a plot to murder the worlds wealthiest black man (Thalmus Rasulala). Impressive cast includes Carl Weathers, Eartha Kitt, Godfrey Cambridge, Scatman Crothers, Jim Backus, Yaphet Kotto, and a mustacheless pre-'Love Boat' Ted Lange. Most of the movie is actually pretty interesting, lots of action, a good assortment of characters, I was legitimately curious as to what the evil scheme was, but when we find out its kind of pointless and simplistically motivated, which is goanna cost it half a star. So **1/2.
