Obscure blaxploitation

Despite having a lead actor who was one of the prominent actors in the 1970s blaxploiation film genre, "The Slams" has been all but forgotten since its theatrical release, not even getting a release on VHS or DVD. Watching the movie, it becomes pretty easy to figure out why no one has been clamoring for its resurrection. Even for 1973, I am sure audiences found nothing really that original here. Every plot turn will be familiar to people who have seen their share of prison films or prison television shows. As a result, there is no excitement, even though there are plenty of prison beatings and fisticuffs along the way. Jim Brown tries, but there is little he can do with such a flat script. Recommended only for die hard fans of the blaxploitation genre.

Anecdotes
Jim Brown insisted that someone as big or bigger than him be cast as the lead bad guy in the film in order to make his major confrontation with Glover at the end seem like a fair fight. This is why the hulking Ted Cassidy was cast as Glover.

Gaffes
There is no way a cement mixer truck would be left overnight in a prison, especially with cement in it. The disposal of the prison guard in the mixer is gruesome but very unrealistic.

Versions alternatives
UK pre-cert VHS on MGM, catalogue number UMV 10444, is censored for violence. Possibly pre-cut by MGM, nervous of then-brewing Video Nasty rumpus. Strangely, the cassette offers a running time of 97 minutes, six minutes longer than the accepted duration for this film.
