The Black Gestapo (also released as Ghetto Warriors) is an 1975 American film about a vigilante named General Ahmed, who starts an inner-city "People's Army" to protect the black citizens of Watts.[2][3][4] However, when the Army succeeds in chasing the mob out of town, Ahmed is replaced by his colleague Colonel Kojah, who reforms the movement into a National Socialist criminal organization in order to have complete control over the town.[5]
It was written and directed by Lee Frost, and stars Rod Perry, Charles P. Robinson, Phil Hoover, Ed Cross and features a cameo from Russ Meyer regular Uschi Digard. It depicts African-American men dressed as Nazis and contains many scenes of violence (including a castration scene) and soft-core nudity.[6]
