I found Drum a much more entertaining movie than Mandingo. It's got tasty nudity, saucy women, and an oversexed spoilt teen girl, where yes we see her.... It is unintentionally funny, where a lot of it, we owe to robotic Ken Norton, where again, casting people, producers, have made the mistake of putting him in the lead. He's a poor performer, surrounded by good ones, no one better than Oates, where I also liked the ruthless homosexual slaver, while Grier was really good, as was Oates's wife. Yes Drum, has sleaze slipping in, as it comes across as a cheap movie, and brief telling tale of the heartlessness of the cold hearted slavers, which on the video cover, it actually says as for selling purposes, it makes no attempt to show what the slavery trade was really like. The slavers are not any less heartless, than the ones depicted in other films. Tarantino really cut the apple to the truth with Django Unchained. Later on in the film we really meet a nasty slaver. And yes, we have two bucks, Norton and Kotto fighting, who become friends until the wicked teen daughter tries to put the hots on Kotto, where soon, yes, another castration is in the waiting. I'll be honest, Drum, is not a good film, but it is bloody entertaining to hell, with a climax I must say, I appreciated, but more so at the fact, that Oates let Drum go. I must say, Oates adds amusement as much as Norton, only the latter can't act. He's better suited in a ring, than in front of camera. Don't let there be a third lead for such a limited Norton, if only to add amusement. But on the other hand....
