Description

Mandingo lit the fuse... Drum is the explosion! Plantation boss and slave owner Hammond Maxwell (Warren Oates, Two-Lane Blacktop) purchases Drum (Ken Norton, Mandingo) and Blaise (Yaphet Kotto, Alien) from bordello hostess Marianna (Isela Vega, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia). Marianna is actually Drum's mother, although her lesbian lover Rachel (Paula Kelly, Soylent Green) actually raised the boy. Thrown into the package to Hammond is Drum's girlfriend Regine (Pam Grier, Foxy Brown), who was purchased to satisfy the carnal urges of Mr. Hammond. However, Augusta Chauvet (Fiona Lewis, The Fury), setting her sites on Hammond, has other plans. Drum is such a perfect specimen that neither men nor women can keep their hands off of him. Drum looks stoic until a climactic slave revolt breaks out, guaranteeing more blood and carnage than Mandingo could ever hope to provide.

    • JOHN COLICOS STEALS THE FILM!!!!!
John Colicos (who played the first on screen Klingon in the original STAR TREK ), plays an over the top Gay slave trader who has his eyes on Drum (Ken Norton). His performance is so incredible, you'll be laughing your ass-off!!! This performance alone is worth the price of the film!! You also get Warren Oates and Isle Vega (reunited right after Peckinpah's BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA), plus a great cast including Yaphett Kotto!!! This is a great "underground" movie!! Do I need to say any more?!! BUY IT!!!! ... show more

    • The sequel to MANDINGO!
After the phenomenal and unexpected success of MANDINGO (1975), producer Dino De Laurentiis fast-tracked a sequel with only boxer-turned-lousy-actor Ken Norton returning, but in a different role (since he died in MANDINGO). Not so strangely, non-actor Norton is the worst thing about DRUM, a violent, sexy and racially-charged exploitation film about slavery with a top-notch genre cast. It's about fifteen years after the first film and Hammon Maxwell (Warren Oates; RACE WITH THE DEVIL - 1975; Perry King played the same character in the first film), the patriarch of Falconhurst Plantation, must put up with a multitude of problems both with his family and his stable of slaves. After a short history of slavery in North America, where we learn Marianna (Isla Vega; BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA - 1974, also starring Warren Oates), a successful New Orleans madame who had a black baby and named him Drum (Norton), who was raised by black slave Rachel (Paula Kelly), we are then transported to an opulent party thrown at Marianna's bordello. Drum, who is serving food and drinks, catches the eye of effiminate slave trader Bernard DeMarigny (John Colicos; BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - 1978-1979), the party's host, who leeringly mentions to his younger gay partner that Drum would make a good stud (yeah, right!). Bernard plans to have a display of pugilistics in the back of the bordello, but when one of the boxers doesn't show up, he forces Marianna to offer Drum as an opponent (For those too young to remember, Ken Norton was briefly a boxing champion in real life). Drum's opponent is Blaise (Yaphet Kotto; TRUCK TURNER - 1974) and the bout quickly turns into a no-holds-barred wrestling match, complete with biting (Mike Tyson would be proud), kicking and elbowing, and eventually Drum wins. Bernard wants to cut-off Blaise's man parts for losing, but Drum convinces Bernard to give Blaise to Marianna (Even through all the bloody punching and biting, Drum and Blaise become fast friends). To show his appreciation, Bernard lets Drum pick out one of his slave girls as his woman, so he picks Calinda (Brenda Sykes; GANJA & HESS - 1973), but when Bernard sneaks into their bedroom for a three-way (Bernard is more interested in Drum's sweet derriere than Calinda's woman parts), Drum slugs him in the face with Bernard vowing painful revenge. Bernard shows up at the bordello with some men with the intent of cutting Drum's man parts off, but when Rachel is shot and killed for interfering and Drum nearly kills Bernard (Drum is under the impression that Rachel was his mother), Marianne sends Drum to Hammond Maxwell and Falconhurst Plantation, where the main slaves' job is not picking cotton, but "studding n******". Marianna also throws-in Blaise and white prostitute Augusta Chauvet (Fiona Lewis; THE FURY - 1978) as part of the deal, but Hammond doesn't want Calinda because it will interfere with Drum's stud duties. Hammond buys slave Regine (Pam Grier; COFFY - 1973) to take care of the needs of Augusta, who hopes to weasel her way into Hammond's life and become the next Mrs. Maxwell. Augusta becomes the terror of Falconhurst Plantation, complaining about everything and physically and emotionally abusing the slaves, especially Regine, who Hammond wants to use as his black "bed wench". Hammond wants Augusta to tame his out-of-control daughter, Sophie (Cheryl "Rainbeaux" Smith; LASERBLAST - 1978). The vulgar, but somewhat likable, Hammond takes Drum under his wing, teaching him how to ride a horse and putting him in a supervisory position over the other slaves. The horny Sophie unbuttons the pants of all the male slaves and plays with their "snakes", so Drum makes it his personal responsibility to keep Sophie away from Blaise, because if Hammond finds them together, it would be instant castration. The snotty Sophie makes a false allegation to her father about Blaise ("He put his thing in my hand!"), but Hammond catches her raising her skirt in front of a chained Blaise and sends her off to finishing school. When Hammond throws a party to announce his marriage to Augusta and the whole town shows up, including Marianna, Bernard and cruel slave trader Zeke Montgomery (Royal Dano; GHOULIES II - 1987), Drum discovers that Blaise has been castrated (by Augusta's orders), so he sets Blaise free and starts a slave revolt, which leads to a night of death and destruction. As Falconhurst Plantation burns to the ground, Hammond, Marianna and Drum are the only survivors, but Hammond can't let Drum stay and makes him run for his life into an uncertain future. DRUM was originally directed by Burt Kennedy (HANNIE CAULDER - 1971; WOLF LAKE - 1978) before Dino DeLaurentiis fired him (the only time Kennedy has ever been fired from a film) and replaced him with Steve Carver (BIG BAD MAMA - 1974; CAPONE - 1975). Supposedly, about 70% of the footage on-screen is Kennedy's and it's my guess that everytime we see a naked female breast that it is Carver's footage. The screenplay, by Norman Wexler (JOE - 1970; RAW DEAL - 1986), is full of exploitable elements, including rape, prostitution, slavery, castration and whippings, but it could have been a lot more sleazier than it turned out. While there is plenty of nudity and violence, none of it presses the boundaries of a Hard R like MANDINGO did. Even Bernard's castration by Drum's hand is implied rather than shown. There is also a lot to like here, too, from Warren Oates playful performance as a slave breeder (his dialogue about popping-out little "suckers" is hilarious), to a cast of seasoned pros, but DRUM is missing something that would make it a classic of its genre: more sleaze and less soap opera. Oh, and less Ken Norton. Also starring Lillian Hayman, Alain Patrick, Clay Tanner and Lila Finn. Released on DVD & Blu-Ray from Scorpion Entertainment through Kino Lorber Home Video. Rated R. ... show more

    • Beware! Bootleg DVD
I should have read the reviews here before purchasing this DVD. I suppose I should have also questioned the fact that I just bought the recent official DVD of "Mandingo", released by Legend Films and to which "Drum" is a sequel. Legend has apparently made a deal to release a library of films from Paramount Pictures. I should have asked myself why "Drum" is released by Blax Film instead of Legend Films; now I know why. One side of this DVD contains a basic conversion transfer from videotape in pan-and-scan format. The print quality is horrendous. On the same side is also a menu item, simply labeled "Extras". When you select this option, you're treated to a string of extras, including preview trailers and an animated short, but they are not selectable independently via chapters; the bootlegger merely recorded these extras as a single bonus feature. Although I was initially pleasantly surprised to discover that this DVD contained both full screen and widescreen versions of the film, my excitement was short-lived when I discovered that the letterboxed version, located on the other side of the DVD, includes embedded Japanese subtitles! This version was obviously transferred from a Japanese laserdisc. I do give the Japanese laserdisc industry much credit because it released so many American-made movies, and many in widescreen format, that were never made available (in any format) domestically. I certainly purchased my share of imported Japanese laserdiscs before the advent of DVDs. But if I wanted to buy the Japanese laserdisc release of this film, I would have done just that. I'm willing to put up with hard subtitles for movies that I know will never see the light of day in any other format; however, I'm hoping the previous release of "Mandingo" indicates the future release of "Drum" in an official remastered version. At any rate, caveat emptor! ... show more

    • A shameful piece of American History
I had read the book by Kyle Onstott years ago and years before Roots! Kyle Onstott came out with this book around 1958, some 18 years before roots. And, although I loved roots, both the book and movie, this book was ahead of its time and the movie, to me was just as great, starring a first-time actor, former heavyweight boxing champion Ken Norton. It really portrayed the shameful piece of American History. ... show more

    • DRUM
Storyline was great and enjoyable. Video quality could have been better - some places very dark and hard to see what was actually happening. Overall, can still add to personal video library.
