This is a classic maybe it should be remade , but after watching it the other night I realized Eddie Murphy must have been inspired by this and wrote Harlem Nights
a lot of simular things, double crossing and robbing the mob
Dont Hate Me Because You Aint Me

H DLUM
This may sound like the most craziest statement EVER, but this movie to me Inspired ROCKY IV!
Why? Well let's look at the parallels:
#1: Jimmie Walker's character, Bootney Farnsworth was psyched out with SUPER-HUMAN Strength by hypnosis.
Ivan Drago was pysched out with Super Human Strength by Performance Enhancements.
They both didn't inherited that supreme strength naturally!
#2 When Bootney Farnsworth and 40th Street Black fight each other in a rematch, they struck each other simultaneously there were cut scenes to where they were punched in the face in slow motion like it did when Rocky faught Drago
#3 When Farnsworth and 40th Street Black slugged each other at the same time, they BOTH GOT KNOCKED DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY LIKE APOLLO VS ROCKY IN ROCKY II!
#4 The Actor, {James "Cannonball" Green} was the Trainer of the Opponent {40th Street Black} of The Main Fighter's character, Bootney Farnsworth in Let's Do It Again just like James "Cannonball" Green was the Trainer of Ivan Drago THE OPPONENT OF THE MAIN FIGHTER IN THE MOVIE ROCKY IV WHICH IS STALLONE HIMSELF!
#5 Rocky IV came out in 1985, Let's Do It Again came out in 1975!
CALL ME CRAZY, BUT I SEE SOME APPARENT COMPARISONS BETWEEN LET'S DO IT AGAIN AND ROCKY IV
