The third in the BLOODFIST series takes a spin in a different direction. Don "The Dragon" Wilson still headlines the cast, but he plays a different character. He plays Jimmy Boland who is in the clink for manslaughter. It is a darker, meaner character than Jake Raye, but to be honest I thought it was the same character and prison time had done that to him. Anyways, everybody in the slammer wants Jimmy dead since he killed an inmate who had just murdered another inmate. So, its about Jimmy and his survival against the odds I suppose. At first he does not want to be anybody's friend, but he gets a new cell mate in Samuel Stark (really well played by Richard Roundtree) who he grows to become friends with. Roundtree in fact almost all alone made this film good and worth watching, but I really do believe they went way too far in showing that yes even the higher ups including the warden and all the guards wanted Jimmy dead too. So, they just don't really exist in the movie. They are NEVER present, so its like they just let the inmates wonder around and do whatever they please. Better than the previous two in the series, but just not good enough sadly. Like the previous two produced by Roger Corman.
