You're right – I did. When thinking about the film, the bits that came to mind were Roger Moore running over crocodiles and the boat chase with the comedy Sheriff!

My immediate thoughts about exploitation is something much more low-budget, with blaxploitation having protagonists like Pam Grier, Sid Haig, Richard Rowntree and Fred Williamson, not Roger Moore! (I am being a little facetious here.)

Yes you are, seeing as the film also stars Yaphet Kotto, who starred in Across 110th Street. One of the finest blaxploitation films ever made... and with the coolest song as well.
