I don't think there would be a big protest over it, sure there maybe some unhappy about it, but I still think it could be pulled off. Just don't wait on a white person to write the script or direct it. lol

You'd a thought Spike would have created something like this a long time ago.

It's been done, but what a poor excuse of a movie disbelief

Actually, I bet some white diretors would go for it. There's a great 60s-era flick called "The Spook Who Sat by the Door" or something like that. In it, an "oreo" type black man infiltrates the CIA and leads nationalist black revolutionaries in a nationwide civil insurrection. It's WAY campy and kind of fun, actually. I could see Quinten Tarrantino doing an homage to it.

My friend and I were talking about something like this the other night. I said, Spike Lee might produce it, or Q. Tarrantino. I thought about Michael Moore, but he does documentaries.

One film I will reccomend Is "Putney Swope", it's a film about a token black executive at an all white advertising agency, who is unintentionally elected chairman of the board (the way this happens is hilarious). It's not exactly an opposite to undercover brother, but it does deal with role reversals. The film was done back in 1969, by Robert Downey Sr. (yep Jr's daddy) Anyways alot of the things this films address is still right on point, might be a bit abstract for some, but those that are in tune will find it alot of fun.

It sounds vaguely familiar, but, no, I haven't seen it. I'll have to check it out.

Didn't he do Bowling for Columbine? That's a documentary, right? Just don't know whether it came out this year, or last?
