Savage! is a 1973 American blaxploitation film directed by Cirio H. Santiago.
Plot
Shaft! is basically about blowing stuff up in the jungle.
Action packed story of how a Jim Haygood, young, black and brilliant mercenary becomes the legendary leader of a rebel army. In a daring ambush on the beach Moncada, elusive leader of the rebel army, is captured by Jim Haygood and turned over to the authorities. That night, Jim celebrates his success in a nightclub, where he meets two glamorous young girl entertainers, Amanda of the High Wire and Vicky the Knife-Thrower. A reporter bursts in with the news that Moncada is dead. Jim becomes suspect and is put under arrest but pulls off a clever escape when he is being transported to the military prison by hiding out in Amanda and Vicky's dressing-room.
During a raid by the military police, Vicky is caught and interned but Jim commandeers an army jeep and escapes into the mountains with Amanda. Jim and Amanda are then taken prisoner by the rebel forces but in a major battle between the rebels and the army Jim proves his true colors. In a brilliant coup he redirects the enemy planes to attack their own troops. Through a swift series of daring exploits Haygood emerges as the new rebel leader, "SAVAGE" in name and deed.
