Blaxploitation is back at B-Movie Enema! What better way to celebrate the return of the 70s genre than to feature Isaac Hayes leading a movie with a hell of a badass title - Truck Turner!

Just A Band, from Kenya, don’t define their style mixing many influences : it’s “experimental DIY music”…
The band released the video for their second single Ha-He from the album “82” (2009), as a tribute to Blaxploitation and Kung-Fu films, featuring a fictional superhero named “Makmende.”

Mr. T, Ernie Hudson, and a brief cameo from Rudy Ray Moore get added to Jamaa Fanaka's boxing trilogy as he expands on the story of Martel Too Sweet Gordone in 1982's Penitentiary II!

Rudy Ray Moore is a treat to watch... always. That certainly is true in 1979's Disco Godfather, a movie in which he takes on drugs on the streets. Brilliant.

William Girdler's Sheba, Baby from 1975 is one of the big time blaxploitation films of the era for Pam Grier. It turned out to be a movie that could showcase some of her dramatic acting while also making sure you got to see all her good looks and tough ass bravado.

Gordon Parks’s Leadbelly (1976) attempts to balance the raw preservation of folk history with the cinematic myth-making of the 1970s. However, the film frequently trades psychological realism for romanticized legend.

In 1979, after Rocky had taken the country by storm and as the first sequel was about to set up a whole franchise, Jamaa Fanaka, a very talented director in black cinema, made his own boxing drama and it's pretty darn good - Penitentiary.

Surprisingly, “Scream, Blacula, Scream” (1973) was released on the same day as the James Bond film “Live and Let Die” (1973). Apparently, people chose to watch the newest installment of the hugely popular spy series over this low budget blaxploitation horror film
#SatMat #ScreamBlaculaScream #blaxploitation -
“Scream, Blacula “Scream” (1973) had a budget of <$1mil and made about the same amount by the end of its initial run. This under performance at the box office would lead to no further films being produced. It and 1972’s “Blacula” would however become cult film staples

So yeah.. typical of the era, the animal safety in this is extremely fuzzy and has only been reported to be “a real, live bird and a dead bird” in these scenes but no one involved has ever said if its the same bird 💔

This is the sequel to 1973’s “Cleopatra Jones”, which was the first major starring role for leading lady Tamara Jones. You can watch that for free here (https://ok.ru/video/1988314008216). Sadly, despite audiences and critics loving both films, this sequel didn’t do well at the box office so no further sequels were made💔

Blacula” (1972) is considered to be the first Black Vampire in mainstream media. The character was originally written as more of a villain until opera singer and actor William Marshall was cast. He worked with the production to add more depth and backstory to Prince Mamuwalde.
