Gordon's War

Gordon's War is a 1973 action film written by Howard Friedlander and Ed Spielman, and directed by Ossie Davis.

Gordon's War was made at the height of blaxploitation films popularity from the early 1970s featuring some of the racial stereotypes of the genre.

The music heard throughout the film has become a well-respected album in its own right, performed by Badder Than Evil, Barbara Mason, New Birth and Sister Goose And The Ducklings.

Their track Hot Wheels (the chase) has been sampled by scores of artists including Public Enemy, Coldcut and Blade.

The New York Times called it an inconclusive film, one that had a "format and substance—a black theme dramatized, for practical, constructive purposes—remain exceeded by its goal.
