How bad is it? It's perhaps the weirdest blaxploitation film ever made.
Should you see it? Definitely.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

In Your Face (1977)
aka Abar, aka Abar: Black Superman, aka Abar, the First Black Superman
How bad is it? It's perhaps the weirdest blaxploitation film ever made.
Should you see it? Definitely.
A black doctor and his family move into a very racist white neighborhood. Their cat gets killed. Their son gets run over. A militant (Abar) moves in and ends up drinking a potion that makes him invincible. The movie has bulletproof rabbits! Abar decides to right wrongs non-violently: drunkard's bottles become milk, wastrels become college graduates, food becomes worms (not sure why), racist cops become hippies, all by the new powers of Abar - and all in the final 20 minutes. The movie is hysterically funny in it's bad acting and just surreal once it starts moving. A definite find.
