One of the best Blaxploitation movies

"The Mack" is one of the best Blaxploitation movies ive seen. It's like the real deal, it's right up there with other Blaxploitation movies like:

Super Fly
Black Caesar
Coffy
And some may not consider "Across 110th Street" a Blaxploitation picture but i do and i think it's appropriate for this list.

Add "Trouble Man" and you've got my list.

Check out "Willie Dynamite," and of course "Dolemite."

I gotta go with Trouble Man too. A definite classic. Add Gordon's War and Black Samson and my list in complete.

I didn't see those two. Any good?

That list is almost a carbon copy of mine!

Coffy
Superfly
The Mack
Trouble Man
JD's Revenge

Just got The Mack today on DVD to replace my old worn out copy. Good documentary on there (although it's pretty irritatingly put together). Shame there's no trailer.

Thats the disapointment about the dvd. On the back of the cover it says there's a trailer but there isn't. Talk about false advertising.

[–] missgangsmashers 17 years ago

Speaking of the trailer; I saw it awhile ago on "you tube";
It was connected to a lot of other trailers from the 70's,
"Cool Breeze" - it's been so long I forgot the rest but
I saw it and it's short and sweet!

Best,

This is certainly one of the better blaxploitation films. If it had better continuity between scenes, it could have been the best one. Every scene change just seemed abrupt to me. But the performances are way above the standard blaxploitation fare, and the music (as you'd expect) is superb.
