The entire film was a plot hole. No explanation was given from one scene to the next. How did they manage to intercept the poison capsules? How did they locate them? Why did Jim Brown end up hanging on to the back of a huge truck after it ran down the phone booth he was in? Why did the truck explode after he jumped off? Why did ten armed men run away from Jim Brown instead of just shooting him? Why was the shootout at the end filmed in both day and night? What happened to all the snow that covered the ground near the evil doctor's headquarters? One minute it was there, then it was gone. Why was James Brown's girlfriend so plain-looking? She looked like she could be his mother. Don't get me started on the three female red, white,and blue; black, Asian,and white; color-coordinated topless torture/interrogation crew. And the soundtrack songs featured some lame singers who were completely inappropriate for an action movie. Total garbage.

Plot summary
The story involves a white supremist plot to taint the United States water supply with a toxin that is harmless to whites but lethal to blacks. The only obstacles that stand in the way of this dastardly plan are Jim Brown, Fred Williamson and Jim Kelly, who shoot, kick and karate chop their way to final victory.

Extremely lame black exploitation flick.
Missed opportunity
Though only in the movie for one scene, three actresses established a set of exciting characters that deserved their own spinoff. The Countess, Princess and Empress (Pamela Serpe, Marie O'Henry, and Irene Tsu, respectively) light up the proceedings as a topless trio of sadists brought in to scare the crap out of a thug, softening him up for interrogation. We only hear whatever they do, and see the tattered remnants of his bravado after their ministrations. Hot and hard of body and nature they be. A lot of wasted potential with nobody ever knocking out a Blaxploitation flick for those three to headline. They couldda been more than a contedah, perhaps collectively billed as Charlie's Devils.
Six the Hard Way
Jimmy Lait (Jim Brown) and Wendy find their distraught friend House. He had escaped from an unknown prison camp. He claims that he was picked up off the streets along with other black men. While in the hospital, he is killed by a hit squad and Wendy is kidnapped. A white conspiracy is trying to kill all the minorities. Jimmy is joined by Jagger Daniels (Fred Williamson) and Mister Keyes (Jim Kelly).
This is a fun blaxploitation film. It has all the elements. It has ridiculous action, ridiculous villains, and black power. Now it does give an explanation of the title but I choose a different threesome. Those who has seen the movie would know exactly what I mean. In reality, they have six the hard way. The girls are really the element which puts this over the top. It's completely ridiculous and it knows it.
