Synopsis "Pure adrenaline inia film can!" -Steven Puchalski, Shock Cinema Tougher than Shaft and smoother than Superfly, this high-voltage sequel to Black Caesar explodes with enough action to incinerate New York City. Packed with machine-gun mayhem and riveting adventure, Hell Up in Harlem is nothing less than a modern-day tribute to the classic 30s gangster film. Fred Williamson (Original Gangstas) is Tommy Gibbs, a fearless, bulletproof tough guy who blasts his way from the gutter to become the ultimate soul brother boss. When he steals a ledger with the name of every crooked cop and man in the city. Enlisting the aid of his father and an army of Harlem hoods, Gibbs goes from defense to offense, launching a deadly attack on his enemies that sets off a violent chain reaction from Harlem all the way to the Caribbean, climaxing in one of the hottest turf-war shoot-outs in Hollywood history.

Empire Review HELL UP IN HARLEM - 2.25 out of 5  (11/15/2002) In what has to be one of the oddest sequels ever made, HELL UP IN HARLEM (1973), is the follow-up to the fascinating BLACK CAESAR with Fred Williamson as a young man who rises to power the ugliest way possible in organized crime. While the first film had depth, smarts and was very bold and even original, its sequel rehashes only the results of the first film as if you could build an entire film on it.
