The favorite and celebrated exploitation genre, blaxploitation, is full of an overwhelming number of titles. Some films strived to be the best and poignant films of their day and others were complete shit (see The Guy from Harlem). Here are two films remembered as being iconic in this genre and worth consideration for a rental.
Coffy seems to come off as a serious film. But, numerous gratuitous shots of bare breasted women (including Pam Grier!), multiple cat fights, and ridiculous plot take away from the gravity of the film. Actually…let’s say this adds to the film.
Black Caesar is a story about a street kid who takes a meteoric rise to the leader of a crime syndicate. It includes everything from crime, drugs, dirty cops, and racism (and lots of the n-word). This film can definitely treated as a more serious film than Coffy. It also has an absolutely badass soundtrack!
So my buddy told me to leave Thursday night open. He told me he had a special surprise as a thank you for doing his taxes. We go the Palazzo and head towards Samba Sushi… I tell him “What the F%$K Bry… Didn’t we just eat”? The hostes says “Do you have tickets”? She takes us to the really small back room. We sit down and there is the silouette of “DICE” against the back wall. I was shocked. Dice is hilarious and I was really surprised at the entire experience.
