    The thing is this, I just finished watching ‘The Harder They Fall’ earlier today and it dumps on that trailer you just posted. That’s what I’m talkin’ about! Why the “Mr. T” voiceover? And why the velcro fros? Refer to ‘The Harder They Fall’! Time to come out of Jim Crow 70’s bellbottoms stereotype era movies and show Black people with some Dignity!

    You don't think they have dignity in Black Dynamite or Outlaw Johnny Black? Its directed by Michael Jai White and written by him and Byron Minns

    I mean its meant to be more of a comedy than the trailer you posted but to me both look good. I guess if you view it that way though I can't recommend they cloned tyrone you seem to be kind of serious about it

    True, I’m just mad at MJW for always s***tin’ on Bruce Lee but he’s still Spawn to me so I forgive him and he needs that role back! Nobody will ever be a better Spawn than Michael Jai White!

    Gonna watch it off the strength of the three leads, and I'd like to think the blaxploitation visuals are just that but the writing won't be like that.

    It's definitely blaxploitation in terms of story and themes. It's definitely a critique on the history of blaxploitation films while also being an homage.

    Lol I ain’t gon lie you lost me a little with this response. Or is MJW in this film too?

    MJW is the first Black person to ever play a Major comic super book hero in a major motion picture! John Leguizamo also starred in the movie ‘Spawn’. The guy who made ‘Spawn’ now wants to cast Jamie Fox going forward if they ever make the next film instead but if you know or knew about Spawn you’d know that role will always belong to MJW aka Spawn.

    Jamie Foxx is a bigger draw than Michael Jai White, so I understand why the creator would want to use him for a new Spawn movie. And even though I'm sure Jamie Foxx can play a good Spawn, Michael Jai White is just...bro just Spawn man lol also White been in the game long enough and his acting his significantly improved since the first Spawn. Feel like he deserves the opportunity to reprise the role, especially since he ain't the reason it was a stinker.

    You should make a thread about black representation in film though interesting discussion would possibly come from it

    Bet, the correlation is that I forgive MJW for s***tin’ on Bruce Lee because he’s Spawn and I was being a bit hard on his movie because of it but I still think Blaxploitation films need to stop!

    Ok…so I finished it yesterday and here’s my synopsis:

    1. It’s a good movie even though it may be a bit cliche’d…

    2. Felt like a cross between Undercover Brother…Josie & The P****cats and Austin Powers Meets The Hood…with a dash of Blaxploitation…

    3. Had a good surprise cameo to play the arc villain…

    4. They’re doin’ this s*** for real…

    5. Overall felt like I’ve seen this movie done before…

    Lol might need to repost ya movie list from when you had this argument 2 years ago with this movie:

    Soul
    Uncorked
    Jingle Jangle
    Sylvie's Love
    Project Power
    Bad Boys for Life
    The Photograph
    Premature
    Farewell Amor
    Welcome to Sudden Death
    Black Box
    Come Away
    Selah And The Spades

    And this was from 2021 so obviously there's way more now. Magazine Dreams being one off top of my head. Nope, Nanny, Honk for Jesus, The Inspection, Master, Womens King, Black panther 2, Emergency, Breaking, Missing, The angry black girl and her monster, All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt, Spider verse 2, etc.

    I think it was more a cross between Get out and Sorry to bother you. Haven't seen Josie and the p****cats so not sure how that comparison might work

    The fried chicken being poisened causing people to become brainwashed is why I compared it to Undercover Brother…

    The fried chicken commercials and the fried chicken being what controls Black people came from Undercover Brother…

    Billy D. Williams…a Manchurian Candidate with a bucket of fried chicken in Undercover Brother…

    I hope that helps…I haven’t seen Get Out or Sorry To Bother You…

    You asked me if I compared the Tyrone movie to Undercover Brother cuz of the Afros and you made another comment earlier questioning if I’m into Black movies…then you edit your response when I answered your question that had nothing to do with afros…lol…I just think that’s disengenuine…Josie and The P****cats correlates but it’s probably not Black enough for you to see why…I don’t know why I haven’t watched Get Out Or Sorry To Bother You…I’ll most likely give them a try…the Black Box too…

    I deleted the Undercover brother comment because that's all I had initially remembered from that movie but then I remembered the whole "whitewash" thing you pointed out...so i can see that comparison.

    And yeah on page one i suggested "If you are into black films I would say to give this a watch"....whats wrong with that? i dont know you, I don't know if you're black, white, latino, etc.
