I can’t remember what year I saw it (maybe late 70′s or early 80′s, but it played on St. John once before at Sputniks. It was a very weird experience because lots of people laughed during the violent scenes. It was very upsetting. However, we loved the movie and the score.

When the film came out it was banned in the USVI. The murders at Fountain Valley had just happened and the Gov. had wanted to down play the violence. The sound-tract was a best seller here though. Everyone over the age of 5 knew all the lyrics!
It was only a few years later while in the states visiting friends that I got to see this movie. It was being shown for a film course at the University of Delaware. I helped with the translation from Jamaican to English for the group!
