Synopsis
Slaughter, a fierce Vietnam Veteran and ex Green Beret had avenged the death of his parents by killing the gangster/ mob member- who was responsible for their death- in Mexico. The sequel is relocated in Los Angeles, California- a place that Slaughter sought to escape the past events and begin his attempt to a tranquil life in the beautiful city of angels. The film opens up with Slaughter (Jim Brown) at a friend's house during a lavish outdoor picnic/lunch celebration. The new crime boss, Duncan played by Ed McMahon is now after Slaughter, for having killed ex Mafia Boss, Dominc Hoff from director Jack Starrett's 1972 Slaughter . The viewer sees a change in theme as the mob is now after Slaughter to settle the score. The opening scene begins with an old World War One biplane flying by the outdoor celebration and then opening fire on the members at the picnic. It resulted in the graphic death by headshot of Slaughter's friend which reignited the old spark of fury and rage that Slaughter had when he was told of the death of his parents. Duncan's first assassination attempt in essence was a failure and only proved to wake up a sleeping beast. He therefore, hired a new hit-man named Kirk-played by Don Stroud- to bring Slaughter to his own demise. Rather than being in protective custody under the supervision of Duncan's crooked cops Slaughter remains on the streets and is now out for his new enemy, Duncan.Actors
