Blackenstein
To Stop This Mutha Takes One Bad Brutha
Directed by William A. Levey
Produced by Frisco Productions Limited
A blaxploitation-era monster movie that transforms a disabled Vietnam veteran into a tragic killer through scientific sabotage, blending exploitation thrills with period-specific social commentary.
Eddie is a Vietnam veteran who loses his arms and legs when he steps on a land mine, but a brilliant surgeon is able to attach new limbs. Unfortunately, an insanely jealous assistant (who has fallen in love with Eddie's fiancée) switches Eddie's DNA injections, transforming him into a gigantic killer.
