Films of Fred "The Hammer" Williamson
By an Amazon.com customer

	Black Caesar [VHS] Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.24 Like Scarface, but the gritty ghetto version. Watch Williamson's character go from shoeshine boy to head of the drug world. Then, of course, he falls. Classic.
	MASH (Five Star Collection) Buy used from: $3.94 The Hammer's first movie role. Fred played a former college footballer, recruited to help a MASH unit win a game. Very entertaining movie. If only The Hammer's role were larger.
	Black Cobra Buy used from: $0.01 Stelvio Massi's 1987 classic about a ruthless biker gang, and the equally ruthless cop out to get them. Williamson's performance is legendary.
	Black Cobra 2 Buy new: $14.95 / Used from: $0.16 The Hammer is reassigned to The Philippines, where his pocket is picked. Then he brings mayhem to Manila.
	Black Cobra/Black Cobra 2/Black Cobra 3 Buy new: $5.95 / Used from: $1.46 In Black Cobra 3, The Hammer returns to The Philippines, to find the bad guys who stole some weapons. Where was this man's Oscar?
	Take A Hard Ride [VHS] Buy used from: $1.19 An entertaining action-comedy-western hybrid which stars The Hammer, and also Jim Brown!
	Active Stealth Buy used from: $1.86 A straight-to-video release from indie director Fred Olen Ray. Williamson's role is minor, but the DVD director's commentary is something to behold!
	Three Days to a Kill [VHS] Buy used from: $1.69 Williamson directed this 1991 effort about a kidnapped ambassador. Henry Silva plays a drug lord. Bo Svenson does everything but sing. Sweeeeet.
	Black Eye [VHS] Buy used from: $6.94 The Hammer cooks in this underrated 1974 private eye drama set in L.A. Look for Richard Anderson (TV's Oscar Goldman, from the 6 Million Dollar Man). Exciting.
	White Fire [VHS] Buy used from: $0.89 Williamson couldn't save this turkey, a B-production with abysmal dialogue. The plot is also subpar.
	Warriors of the Wasteland [VHS] Buy used from: $0.99 AKA The New Barbarians, this is Williamson in another Italian-directed feature, post-apocalyptic with eyepopping costumes and vehicles.
	From Dusk Till Dawn (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.77 Quentin Tarantino gave The Hammer a well-deserved break with a major supporting role in this actionfest.
	Steele's Law Buy used from: $2.84 Williamson-helmed 1991 film about a Chicago cop recruited to foil an assassination plot. Bo Svenson brought his inestimable talents to this hard-hitting actioner. Can I get a witness!
	One Down Two to Go [VHS] Buy used from: $1.60 Richard Roundtree, Jim Kelly and Jim Brown eat at The Hammer's table. An all-star cast of black heroes rounds out this Williamson-helmed flick.
	Adios Amigos [VHS] Buy used from: $9.99 Fred Williamson and Richard Pryor, if you can believe that. A jokey Pryor found his best and most serious foil in The Hammer. This isn't one of Williamson's strongest action efforts.
	Starsky & Hutch (Widescreen Edition) Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.01 The Hammer is the glue that binds this nutty cop comedy, starring Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. His performance as Captain Doby deserves the Oscar.
	The Messenger [VHS] Buy used from: $0.46 Another no-nonsense role from the payback king. Williamson directed and starred in this sliver of cinema history.
	On the Edge [VHS] Buy used from: $10.66 Williamson, Gary Busey, Jim Brown (Slaughter), Ron O'Neal (Superfly), and Bernie Casey. Blaxploitation redux, circa 2002.
	Delta Force Commando [VHS] Buy used from: $1.79 Williamson and company travel to Central America to recover a stolen bomb. Hell breaks loose. Priceless.
