RIP. That beginning of SweetBack, I'll never forget though

True story. The beginning with him as a boy was played by his real life son actor/director Mario Van Peebles and 12 year old Mario had ACTUAL SEX with that woman on camera

He always had that classy throwback appeal, like the cats from the Harlem Renaissance era.
