An era of its own. A time when American was in a transition from separatism to civil rights. The 70's was a Golden Age on so many levels and the influence echoes around the world in present day. Blaxploitation is considered in my opinion to be the coolest of cool. Touching on the most sensitive material in America at its time and exploiting them on the big screen or the vinyls in your record player produced for a glorified genre that nobody will ever be able to duplicate. Our mission at Blax-Pride is to educate those who are unfamiliar with this era and combine knowledge with those who are familiar.
Also you will notice Kung Fu movies on this site as well. What does this have to do with Blaxploitation? Well, the more action packed Blaxploitation films did not just street fight. Oh no.....they thought they were Kung Fu Masters. Chinese martial art movies gave a sense of invincibility to these actors. Seeing how cool it was to be a masterful fighter, why not just integrate this with Pimpin', Hustlin', Jive Talkin' and Pam Grier? Blax-Pride!!!

This soundtrack to the cult British film 'Who Dares Wins' was only issued in the USA and Italy (as 'Commando - Who Dares Wins'). The film's opening sequence is a memorable one - helicopters, The Professionals' Lewis Collins, S.A.S. troops - and the music complements this perfectly. Strong, gritty and driving, with the distinctive Budd use of very deep electric bass notes. The majority of the soundtrack is less than interesting.
