Slaughter is a 1972 blaxploitation film directed by Jack Starrett and starring Jim Brown as a former Green Beret captain seeking revenge for a murder.

After the father of Vietnam veteran and ex-Green Beret captain Slaughter is killed by a car bomb, he becomes obsessed with avenging the murder.

Numerous fights and gun battles ensue, with the hot-headed Hoffo eventually killing the more reasonable Felice and assuming command, beating Ann viciously for her disloyalty.

The article reported that Churubusco provided one third of the film's $850,000 budget, the rest of which came from Sachson's production company, JayJen II, AIP and Slaughter 1 Limited Partnership.

The theme song for Slaughter was written and performed by Billy Preston, who at the time was enjoying a commercial breakthrough as a solo artist with his soul-funk instrumental hit "Outa-Space".

[10] Variety called it, "an exploitable violent programmer" which "has some slick values, and Jack Starrett’s direction is long on action but short on convincing drama.

"[11] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times dubbed it " an especially tacky and cynical exercise in mindless violence... a lame brained cliche.

"[13] In retrospective reviews, Todd Doogan of The Digital Bits noted the film's "dated set-ups, stiff acting and horrifying dialogue", but felt that Brown had "a lot of charm and charisma, and he's always interesting to watch.
