This is some funny stuff ... a parody but also a great take on the era, mimics the common stereotypical blaxploitation elements: cheesy dialogue, drugs/pimps/prostitutes, a funky soundtrack, bad fx (hilariously integrating old 70s footage). Best moment: the lead actor "accidentally" hitting his head on the boom and eyeing it annoyingly as the camera rolls. Biggest obstacle: R rating will be limiting
