Zebra Force (1976)

terrible... so disappointed.

Just perfect...

The first must-see film of the year.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I really love bad movies,when they are so bad they're fun but really zebra force(aka;code name zebra)is really bad,the acting is really below par and i think its really a racist premise,OK these ex military white guys disguise themselves as black men and hit the mafia,take their money and kill them.this would never work on the sopranos.the mafia in this movie is portrayed as dolts.and no its no comedy.the leader of the zebra force is a disfigured and one armed army commander. and then there's a surprise twist at the end.look for frank Sinatra Jr in a small part,hey he needed the bread.and character actor of bad movies; George buck flower,OK this is about 85 minutes of my life I'm not getting back.zebra force really should've been on the video 50 worst movies of all time,at least plan 9 from outer space is bad but fun,as for 70's schlock zebra force is the bottom of the barrel.hokey,bad acted and just plain bad.

This is one of those films where a bunch of stunt men get together write a script to glue together a portfolio of mediocre action stunts. Tons of explosions, gunfire, and bodies flying everywhere. This is a film about some Vietnam veterans who became vigilantes to make a fortune stealing from the mafia. Though it is played like they are heroes for society, they come off more like petty thieves pulling a 'big job'. This is a gangster/action film, containing a series of gangster/action clichés which probably won't satisfy exploitation fans. It has some moments, like some hard nose dialogue, some interesting shots, and a stupid scene where two gangsters get baked in a sauna. Not trashy, just sub-par.

This is nothing more that an excuse for a bunch of scenes of slaughter. It has virtually no plot or motivation. The characters are stereotypical and really questionable actors. Their reason for doing what they do wouldn't stand up under any scrutiny. It's the Zebra force against the Mafia. I don't know why because it's never clear. If they are both basically evil, why don't the just stay away from each other. There's virtually no conversation and when it happens it is senseless and pointless. The old running back, Timmy Brown, is in it. So is the Sinatra kid. It's a monumental waste of time. There isn't even the "bad movie" syndrome at work here.

Even though this late-night action flick has aged, it still has what many of today's multi-budget movies are lacking in: ORIGINALITY! Don't expect good guy heroes in "The Zebra Force" because this definitely is not your typical action film. Instead, this is a first-person anti-hero show that knows no limits. Watching the soldiers in black masks terrorize the innocent is rather deteriorating, but that's part of the fun. Overall, the real show stealers are the gang's leader with a deformed face who communicates via mini walkie-talkies, plus an unexpected finale. If you can live with obscure '70s trashies like this one, then I can't blame you for that!
