isiahthomas 12-18-2002, 05:15 PM Are u white or black? I love Pam Grier. I saw Coffy & Foxy Brown. I never saw Superfly. I saw bits & pieces of The Mack & Shaft. Have u seen any of the old Dolemite movies with Rudy Ray Moore? Have u seen the old Bill Cosby & Sidney Poitier movies together like A Piece Of The Action, Let's Do It Again, Uptown Saturday Night? I like A Piece Of The Action & Let's Do It Again.
Brian Damage 12-18-2002, 05:22 PM I'm white/Hispanic. I've only seen bits and pieces of A Piece of the Action. Superfly was very good, I recommend you check it out.

Didn't Cooley High spawn off the sitcom What's Happening?
isiahthomas 12-19-2002, 04:27 PM I don't think it did but anyway u should also check out a spoof of the 70's movies which was done by Keenan Ivory Wayans in his movie I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. Antonio Fargas who played Huggy Bear on Starsky & Hutch was in that & so was r&b soul singer Issac Hayes, ex NFL player Jim Brown, Bernie Casey, Keenan's brother Damon & his sister Kim, Dawnn Lewis who played Jaleesa on A Different World tv show, Janet Dubois who played on Good Times tv show as Wilona, Kadeem Hardison, Chris Rock had a tiny part & his part was very funny.
Brian Damage 12-19-2002, 04:30 PM I saw that movie, it was very funny. So was the movie, "Kentucky Fried Movie."
isiahthomas 01-08-2003, 04:22 PM Did u see Fred Williamson's Black Caesar movie? I've seen the majority of it but i didn't understand the ending part where Fred gets shot & he's limping through the projects of Harlem in New York & these kids beat him with baseball bats at the end & they rob him & then the movie goes off. They don't show whether they killed him or not, the ending left me hangin. Him & ex NFL player Jim Brown did a lot of movies together in the 70's.
Brian Damage 01-08-2003, 07:20 PM Whatver you do DON'T rent Original Gangsters. It starred all of the former blaxploitation stars of the 70's including Fred Williamson, Jim Brown, Pam Grier and Richard Roundtree. It was horrible.
isiahthomas 01-08-2003, 11:51 PM I saw Original Gangstas when it first came out, i liked it.
isiahthomas 01-09-2003, 04:30 PM Richard Roundtree plays on the soap opera Guiding Light now. Did u see Pam Grier in the horrible movies Ghosts Of Mars with Natasha Henstridge & Ice Cube & Bones with Snoop Dogg? She was also in Eddie Murphy's horrible movie The Adventures Of Pluto Nash this past summer. I think Pam needs to stop picking bad scripts & just retire from acting. Jackie Brown was her last good flick. I forgot all about the 70's movie Car Wash, that's a classic with Bill Duke, Antonio Fargas who played Huggybear on Starsky & Hutch, Richard Pryor had a small part with the r&b group The Pointer Sisters. Have u seen Car Wash? Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg did a remake of it with their movie The Wash 2 yrs ago.
Brian Damage 01-09-2003, 06:50 PM I only saw bits and pieces of Car Wash(I could never get into it.)
I saw Bones and hated it.
isiahthomas 01-14-2003, 12:21 AM Brian Damage Pam Grier's Coffy movie was on tonight on BET. I love this movie. Pam was tough in this movie kicking butt & shooting those bad guys. She had the big afro hahahahahahaha. She was so cute & sexy back then even with a afro. I like that song they play at the end of the movie when she's walking on the beach & the credits are rolling.
Brian Damage 01-14-2003, 07:16 PM I've seen Coffy about a hundred times and have never gotten tired of it. Pam Grier is MY girl.:D
isiahthomas 01-16-2003, 04:35 PM Yeah Brian i know u love some Pam, so do i. Remember the beginning part in Coffy when Pam shot that drug dealer's face off & remember the part when King George got dragged down the street with a rope around his neck from the back of the car by the bad guys? Those 2 scenes were off the hook. I also like the part at the end when she was driving the car & she ran over that guy in front of the house with his glasses on when she came to kill those bad guys hahahahahahahahaha. Black jazz artist Roy Ayers did the theme song to Coffy at the beginning of the movie, i like that song.
Brian Damage 01-16-2003, 07:11 PM I remember that. Foxy Brown was just as good in my opinion.
isiahthomas 01-16-2003, 07:39 PM Have u seen Friday Foster with Pam Grier, Carl Weathers, Yaphet Kotto? She was also in another movie with Fred Williamson, Jim Brown, Carl Weathers, i forgot the name of it.
Brian Damage 01-16-2003, 08:10 PM No I haven't.
isiahthomas 01-21-2003, 09:58 PM Have u seen Pam Grier in the movie 3AM with Danny Glover & Michelle Rodriguez? This movie came straight to cable last yr on Showtime i think. Danny Glover was a cab driver & Pam worked in a cafe as a waitress & her & Danny were a couple. Michelle was also a cab driver. Michelle played in The Fast & The Furious as Vin Diesel's girl.
Brian Damage 01-22-2003, 08:20 PM I haven't seen that either. Fort Apache the Bronx was pretty good. It starred Pam Grier, Paul Newman and Ken Wahl.
