Never seen Superfly or Sweetback Ron O'neal was a handsome, hairy man

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.

Sweet Sweetback is totally fucked up. My friend and I went to see it at the Film Forum. The way the Film Forum wrote the little summary blurb I thought it was going to be some sort of Black Panther militant dude against the Man. Instead it was Melvin van Peeples running around, literally and figuratively. The opening scene was messed up; yes that was his son, Mario.

It was a double feature, we also watched a documentary about Melvin, "How to Eat Your Watermelon in White Company (and Enjoy It)". He seems like a strange dude.

I actually started a thread about Sweet Sweetback after I saw it, but it went over like a lead balloon. (I found it: http://prince.org/msg/105/175379?pr)

Five on the Black Hand Side

Uptown Saturday Night

Black Gunn

The Spook who Sat by the Door

Three the Hard Way

Truck Turner(Nichelle Nichols stole the movie!)

Friday Foster

Sheba Baby

Hmm, some catching up to do. Foxy Brown sticks with me the most and left the biggest impression on me, Blacula too, I loved it as a kid, but a lot of these I don't think I've seen. I know I've never see Sweet Sweetback, maybe the tv version, cause I don't remember it that way at all.

Another reason I stopped watching. I didn't know what the fuck the real purpose of the film was. Mario even made a film about the film and it shows how twisted his dad is... Yet his son defends him like a hero to this day...

it was a black FILM that was a takeoff of the BLAXPLOITATION movies

there weren't that many movies that were BLAXPLOITATION they just got called that to produce

certain attitude about watchin them.

spook was NOT blaxwhutevah

uptight was NOT

a lot of films were NOT

sweetback WAS it was a piece of shit movie

filmed and produced by some piece of shit people

to show that the ghetto would pay to see anything

if you put a black face on it THUS the term BLAXPLOITATION

they sold that movie and laughed at us for payin to see it

THEN praisin it as a work of art

Hold Up, Wait A minute....Mario Van Peebles is fine as hell and that's all he needs to be

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.

For Real

i get the distinct smell of CHEERLEADER in here

Mario is fine as shit! His best two movies are New Jack City and Mama Flora's Family-he did an outstanding job in that movie. Now his daddy is another story

Melvin Van Peebles is a sick bastid. I recently read that those sex scenes were not simulated and he got gonorreah during filming,

Not to worry...my threads tend to go over like lead balloons too.

That guy that played Blacula was an interesting looking dude I can't even mess with that movie cuz dude is scary

I always dug William Marshall because of his range. He was classically trained and did everything from Shakespeare to children's theatre. He was labelled a communist or something early in his career and never really got the recognition he deserved. He was 6'5 and had a masterful bearing...I likes menz like that!

His speaking voice was great-deep and sounded good, but maybe that's why he scared me It was the voice Too bad about being labeled though-very sad.

His presence even made that silly Blacula movie bearable.

If it's that bad I think I'll pass on searching for it enough porno crap out there already. Wonder how Mario feels about the movie?

Never seen it, kind of curious, but want to know how bad is bad?

I like the one in "ScreamBlacula Scream" that had the perm. He was hot. And when he was shirtless and Blacula had him in his arms biting his neck, that was really hot!

Yeah, I read that too. I guess some people are really willing to suffer for their art. I'm not sure about the scene with Mario...I saw the movie, like, 6 years ago but from what I remember that part didn't seem too simulated either! I don't understand how it wouldn't be child pornography since Mario was a minor. And why would you do that to your kid?

Van Peebles had nothing to do with this one, granted playboy did, gotta wonder.

In the back of my mind I've been remembering some black female vampire and in my search I came across this movie, some of it sounds interesting, but sex with folks mom's and stuff isn't the type of shocking I'm into right now, so I wanna know before I get it.

That's what I don't get... how could he subjected Mario to that? More I think about it, the film was an excuse for Melvin to showcase his freaky self or something. No real basis to the film, just sex, illicit and legal with STDs galore.

They didn't show the child's dick. All they showed was the back of his ass humping so he wouldn't have had to stick it in her to do that. As for showing a child's ass, they used to do that all the time even on regular TV with the Pampers commercials. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen any baby asses in Pampers commercials in years. They probably realized that there are perverts out there that wouldn't be looking at the commercial as a "cute" thing but as a sexual thing instead.

What I don't understand is how they got away with him being so close to a naked woman and simulating the act. That's the part that's more shocking than showing the ass.
