Anyone who buys this dvd for the cover is going to be sorely disappointed as neither person pictured is in the movie due to this being a 1976 Al Adamson blaxploitation flick. It seems to me they should market the cover towards someone who might actually want to see it, rather than those who will be totally alienated once they see what they've purchased. I wouldn't take a second look at this cover. The original poster art is much better and let's you know exactly what you're getting. Personally I hate updated cover art as it is always worse than the original and is completely generic.
Kicks Carter and Tony are after two local bad guys, Guido and Ziggy. Carter's reporter girlfriend carries around a movie camera which takes up a huge portion of the front seat of her car. Tony's girlfriend has a gambling problem which gets worse after his death in a car crash engineering by Ziggy.
There is an incredibly bad lounge song called "No More Mail Until Tomorrow", and yes the lyrics are as bad as the title leads you to believe.
There are also several misspellings in the film, such as the "Neigbor" Hood Pool, or the boxes marked "amuniton".
Not one of the better movies of this type, especially since it is noted in the liner notes that the movie had two different opening reels so that it could play in two types of theaters, either as Girls Hotel (naughty girls getting in trouble), or Black Heat, (action blaxploitation flick).
