The Mack and other Blaxploitation movies Okay so I had never seen The Mack starring Max Julien so I watched it on Youtube and I have to say he was on some other shit I mean he basically told the girl I don't give a shit what happens to you just bring me my money I did like the stick yourself part and the argument with Dick Anthony Williams or "Pretty Tony" that movie is a trip! I didn't know Richard was in it Also from that era I kinda like Three The Hard Way starring Jim Brown, Jim Kelly and that other dude So what's on ya mind? Can ya dig it?

now juss wait a minit babygirl, whut do you mean "on some other shit" ? do you not realize that IF NOT for THE MACK and all the rest of us PRETTY MOTHAFUCKAS that there could never have been the lil midget y'all so like to glamourize 'round here?
really though, if you paid attention to the flick you realize that the strongest message was when the rev told the story of our live when he spoke about the 'prodigal son'...
a lot of people fail to see such small but strong messages in whut you callin 'blacksploitation' that was a word made up to make it hard for blacks to make money with their own entertainment, tellin the story the way it is in real life...
other than that "mr. pretty tony, yo bitch just chose me... NOW you know the game, we can handle this like gentlemen or we can get off into some GANGSTA SHIT!!!"
and
"nigga, the next time you see grown folks talkin you shut the fuck up ya hear..."
i am KING BAD!!!
you are NOT... STOP ME IF YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE... | |

I think I read somewhere that Sweetback was the first blaxploitation film. It's very strange though. Melvin Van Peebles is in it. It starts out with Sweetback as a little boy fucking his mama. Then as an adult, he's dressed in a fairy outfit fucking a woman on the floor in front of a bunch of people. Then he fucks a white woman on the concrete while a bunch of bikers watch. He runs from the police throughout the entire movie but I never could really figure out what they were chasing him for. The only thing I could think of was when he was dressed as a fairy fucking a woman, a white woman wanted him to fuck her next and a white man was in there and got pissed. Strange movie.

I don't think I remember that one. There was another one I saw that had a lady in it that played a badass Pam Grier type character and she drove in a hot sports car. Mr. Roper from "Three's Company" was also in that movie. I can't think of the name of it to save my life.
I love pimp and hooker movies though. I don't know if this one counts as a blaxploitation movie since it was a made for TV movie but it's one of my favorites called "Little Ladies Of The Night" and Clifton Davis from "That's My Mama" plays a pimp. Andy is a four letter word. | |

this piece of crap movie is the #1 killer of black films bein taken seriously. it personifies whut a 'blacksploitation movie is all about and Melvin Van Peebles and his son SUCK as actors and directors... other than their movies there were no real blaxploitation movies...
ok, i confess... i did like "NEWJACK CITY" and it may have been a van peeples effort BUUT I STILL SAY FUCK EM BOTH and their CHEERLEADERS!!! i am KING BAD!!!

Well, his daddy is in this one. He looks like hell now but he looked pretty good back then. And they show his dick twice in the movie. Great big ole lonnnnnnnng black dick....and it's hairy too. I've paused and zoomed the hell out of that DVD. Andy is a four letter word. | |

"The Mack" had some of the best cinematic scenes in history. Especially the "yo bitch chose me" scene. That got robbed of the Oscar nod. Real talk.
I couldn't watch Sweet Sweetback fully. Something about it bothered me. Maybe it was due to the fact that Melvin Van Peebles could hardly act much less direct also he basically allowed his son Mario to get molested at the beginning. Remember when Ike Turner said he got sexual lessons at six, it kinda reminded me of how it might've looked. Sick.
I always thought "blaxplotation" was discriminatory to use for most of the films that seem on the REAL side...like "Coffy", "Shaft", "The Mack" and "Foxy Brown" for instance. | |

I loved his cameo in "How to Be a Player". He always had some fine ladies around him. | |

I LOVE Blaxploitation movies!
On my own shelf, I have:
I've seen many more... I was just thinking about buying "Black Mama, White Mama" yesterday.
Another orger and I used to orgnote about Blaxploitation, and he recommended a book called Blaxploitation Cinema, which I enjoyed very much.
I also love Black Dynamite. They did a nice job paying tribute to these movies.
