| Trouble Man is an excellent film. Its directed by Ivan Dixon, the director of the hugely underrated flick The Spook Who Sat By The Door. Trouble Man is about a black private dick who gets involved with the mob and the cops over a killing at an illegal dice game. The voice over for the trailer is fantasic worth watching even if the film doesn't sound like your bag. |

If anyone gets the chance, they should check out Black Dynamite, currently doing the rounds on selected UK cinemas (although it's been available on R1 DVD for a while). It's an excellent homage/spoof of early blaxploitation films, and Michael Jai White is brilliantly deadpan in the lead. While I had the R1 once, I'd hoped that seeing it with an appreciative audience would be a great cinema experience. Sadly of the seven or so in my screening, only a few of us were laughing, the rest seemed more interested in their phones. Ah well, made me laugh. And if you like (and know) the genre, it's one to check out for sure! |

hey delirium check out the what films have you seen recently thread. We were talking about this just the other day. It's a fantastic spoof and has some of the funniest one liners and yeah Michael Jai White is brilliantly deadpan...

Ah, I've been away, had no idea it'd been talked about on another thread. Pity you guys weren't my fellow audience. That would have been a great screening! |

Watched Black Caesar last night and it is one of the best blaxploitation films I have seen. Brilliant stuff.

There was a nice R1 DVD of this Blaxploitation gem out a few years back and hopefully it's still available. Apparently, Robert Hooks is the father of Hollywood director Kevin (Passenger 57, Fled) Hooks. I love the line in TM where Mr.T describes a pair of failed tough guys as "Those two half-assed supern******!"!  |

This second entry takes a few more liberties with certain elements of the first film but imo HUIH still ticks all the right Blaxploitation boxes.  |
