What's yall thoughts on the Blaxplotation era?

[AlbertPullhoez]

Some of the greatest black films came outta that era

To me my favorite thing about Blaxplotation era was all of the Black horror films we got

A JDs Revenge remake would be fire


Breh wasn't taking no shyt



Truck Turner one of my favorite movies ever

True

I wish I was a producer because so many of those films that haven’t been sampled, I’d sample and use for songs from vocals to instrumentals and make sure all the directors and actors/actresses got paid for the sample credits

I’m talking bout the obscure movies

Fred Williamson got so many he could have his own genre lol

They were awesome you had black people not taking any shyt from whites you are not getting any of that type of energy in any black movies that get push by mainstream society

Three The Hard Way! Starring the powerhouse trio of Jim Brown, Fred Williamson, and Jim Kelly, this thrilling classic follows three heroes as they join forces to stop a sinister plot to poison Black communities. Directed by Gordon Parks Jr., the film delivers action, empowerment, and a celebration of Black unity.

Three The Hard Way isn’t just a movie—it’s a testament to the strength and resilience of Black heroes on and off the screen. From Jim Kelly’s electrifying martial arts moves to Jim Brown and Fred Williamson’s commanding presence, this film broke barriers and redefined the action genre.

We’ve chosen this film as a Sunday Special to honor these legends, whose work continues to inspire audiences worldwide. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this action-packed story of unity and resistance that remains as relevant today as it was in 1974.

Truck turner is slept on

fred williamson doesnt get his props

A top tier PIMP turning into Gordon from sesame street is one of the greatest rebrands ever

The Blaxploitation era saved Hollywood from bankruptcy. The Spaghetti westerns were getting stale for moviegoers in the early 70s and production companies were I'm financial trouble..

This is a fact.
