Hit Man is a 1972 American crime film directed by George Armitage[2] and starring Bernie Casey, Pam Grier and Lisa Moore.

[4] Tyrone Tackett, a former police officer, returns to Los Angeles to investigate the suspicious death of his brother, Cornell.

At the car lot, Tyrone calls his girlfriend, Nita Biggs, and speaks to her erotically, unsettling Sherwood's customers.

Tyrone captures Huey, who reveals Theotis Oliver, a pornographic theater owner, as the person behind the harassment.

Sherwood, found beaten but with a young girl, leads Tyrone to Africa America, a wildlife park, to find an old friend, Julius Swift.

Tyrone finds Rochelle dead at her home and learns from Swift that Shag forced Cornell to drink, then drove him into the sea.

George Armitage says he never saw Get Carter before making the film, claiming that producer Gene Corman gave him a copy of the script with no title and said that MGM owned it.

Growing up in a racially mixed neighborhood, like I did in Baldwin Hills, I knew a little bit about the culture, but the actors brought so much in terms of dialogue and honesty ...

Both of Corman's productions shared several cast and crew members, including Pam Grier, Rudy Challenger and Sam Laws.

[1] According to the January 1973 edition of Variety, the film was condemned by the National Legion of Decency, which stated that its "dizzying spectacle of raw sex and supergraphic violence would horrify the Marquis de Sade".
