This is one subgenre that I haven't really explored. I have seen Shaft and Black Dynamite, though. I agree about Black Dynamite being good. Even though I haven't seen many of the hallmarks of the genre, I'm still familiar with some of the genre's tropes, and Black Dynamite did a pretty funny job lampooning them.
Try out some of these movies. I know The Spook Who Sat By The Door is on google video. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...19125993797655 It's about the first black CIA agent who was only hired so they could pretend to be intergrated. The agent is tired of the racism in the CIA, leaves and begins an urban guerrilla group.
Foxy Brown Bucktown Sugar Hill Coffy
I havent seen Bucktown yet but it looks good.
Bare Knuckles Coffy Shaft Superfly Black Caesar Black Gestapo (find it if you can. Hilarious.) Black Samurai Blacula Blackenstein Cooley High Those are all I can remember off the top of my head.
I saw Black Gestapo. It was pretty bad. But pretty enjoyable at the times. I forgot about JD's Revenge but that's another blaxploitation horror worth watching about a man who gets possessed by a violent 30s pimp.
I know this doesn't pertain to the discussion..but, Pirate Utopian is your avatar tyler, the creator's album with beibers head? lol
Yes it is. I saw it on an Odd Future site. I thought it was funny.
it's funny as shit.
