I wanna thank you 4 showing these Classic Movies. it's a shame how a lot of these movies were labeled blaxploitation films. a lot of people looked down at these movies. granted some of them were bad, but a lot of them were made by us. in that period from the late 60s to the late 70s a lot of black people were getting work behind the camera's . as as well as in front of it. l was born in 65 so l was too young to fully understand the full impact that these movies had on our culture. now as a grown ass man l can appreciate & really enjoy these movies. thank you for this gift of Cinematic Treasures.

Where were films like this in 1970s? All I ever saw were stories about Pimps, Drug dealers and Prostitutes with Revenge complex. About only good guy was, detective John Shaft.

[@dwighthayes4738]

This is an excellent film. I was a little boy in 1973. From a perspective of social and economic examination, this film does demonstrate how black pastors are often the enabling sources for much of the dysfunction currently seen in black communities.

[@dwighthayes4738]

@J Peavy 100% correct. If I recall correctly she used the term The Federation as it concerned such so called pastors that were being selected to enable their agendas inside of black communities. Many pastors were also identified as trouble makers and they were avoided by Sanger and her ilk.

[@davidmcfarlane9185]

J Peavy Correct

Thank you for uploading. It's good to see uplifting and positive film like this especially during these times.

Chuck Daniel plays the lead role as A.J. Fox. I cannot seem to find any info on him or updated photos. I pray he is doing fine. The woman playing the mother is Juanita Moore, born 1914 and passed away in 2014. This film also goes under the title: Fox Style Killer. The film was released in June, 1973.

[@reelblack]

Juanita Moore, the mother from the 1959 version of Imitation of Life. yes. that for sharing.

Chuck Daniel was in a movie with Jim Brown. "Black Gunn"

This is how a successful movie or tv show with black folk should be made without being a drug dealer or gangbanger. Legit success not like Empire or Power.

I totally agree with you. It's not exploitation. If that were true, then women, kids, the elderly, Hispanics, Asians, space creatures, dinosaurs, angry white men, etc, would be exploited too. It's what people want to see.

[@graemesmith6721]

This was actually a sweet, uplifting little movie, which is especially surprising considering the time it was made. It lacks the bitterness, resentment, and cynicism often seen in black movies of that period. My only complaint is it appears that the N-word has been excised from this print, which kind of takes the punch out of some of the dialogue. We know who the bad guys are. It's okay to have bad people say bad things. But otherwise, I really liked this! Thank you for posting it!

[@matterpowers4006]

only the infinitely jealous call our movies exploitation

[@yvoncormier9762]

101:57 bad edit: goes from lady being cool and receptive to the citronella, then the lady is offended like the dude felt her up or something. Hope to find the outtake for this section. The characters dialogue and action that fills in the gap between calm to mild freakout would make that scene pop, possibly in a comedic way.

Yo Mike, not to distract the people from this vid but... you gotta post a vlog on the recent child molestation allegations levied against, comedian, Paul Mooney!

[@beealert911]

I totally hope this is not true about Paul Mooney.

[@reelblack]

Watch Chappelle's special if you want my take. We all have dirt. When you point your finger at someone, three are pointing back at yourself. People have a right to privacy. We have to face the karma of our actions but that was not Rashon's story to tell. I stopped commenting on gossip and I'm bad at keeping secrets, so please don't share yours with me.

[@sanmigueltv]

GEMINI MAVERICK Yeah it seems pretty believable. Sad to hear.

[@GMAV3RICK]

@reelblack Yeah I feel you bro, but I get this funny feeling that this was one of those ‘open secrets’ among comedic/entertainment circles, you know? I could be wrong, and I always leave the possibility open that I could be incorrect, but theres just this gnawing feeling im getting from this whole situation... Nevertheless, thanks for sharing your perspective, Mike. 🧔🏾👌🏾
