Super Happy

Another Blaxploitation title that escaped my mind! Only seen parts of HM but it looks good from what i've seen and Bernie Casey is always a pleasure to watch. He was great as veteran tough guy John Slade in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.

There were some raw talented black performers back in the day and it's a shame that some managed to forge an acting career after the Blaxploitation boom while others didn't. Jim Brown, Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson, Woody Strode, Ron O'Neal, Richard Roundtree, Bernie Casey, Thalmus Rasulala, Jim Kelly, Issac Hayes, D'urville Martin, Glyn Turman, Brock Peters, Godfrey Cambridge, Raymond St.Jacques, Carl Weathers, William Marshall, Scatman Crothers, Tony King, Julius W. Harris and the excellent Yaphet Kotto.

Not forgetting the female contingent Tamara Dobson, Gloria Hendry and the peerless Pam Grier.

All of the above well worth watching to varying degrees imo.
