CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Ace (Robert Townsend) interrogates Jheri (Keenen Ivory Wayans) about his whereabouts the night of the murder, and holds his curl activator as ransom.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
This satirical look at the ambivalent relationship between Hollywood power brokers and African-American performers marked the writing, producing, and directing debut of Robert Townsend. The filmmaker also stars as Bobby Taylor, a struggling actor looking for his big break despite his family's and co-workers' reservations about his chosen career path. While working a day job flipping burgers, Bobby heads out to insulting cattle calls where white casting agents pass judgement on whether he seems "black enough." Meanwhile, he imagines himself playing Sam Spade, Rambo, and other movie heroes rather than the stereotypical roles actually available to him. When Bobby actually does win one such pimp-daddy part, however, he is forced to choose between accepting work that opens doors, but ultimately demeans him and returning to obscurity with his principles intact. Hollywood Shuffle's enormous supporting cast includes a wealth of black actors, from then-unknowns such as Damon Wayans to veterans such as 227 star Helen Martin. Self-financed and filmed on scraps of hand-me-down celluloid, the film helped establish actor Townsend as a director of note and also kick-started the career of co-screenwriter and co-star Keenen Ivory Wayans, who would cast Townsend in his own directorial debut the following year.

Love how when kenan shook his head that guy had to wipe his face from the splash. The hair change is funny as heck! Robert Townsend needs to make more comedies.

[@traceylennon1204]

The way he's so serious withholding the activator from Keenan's character actually adds to the hilarity!!! @ toomuchfourU

[@TriciaTakanawa_]

I'd rewind that so much 😅😂

[@percynorris2498]

All these years and I just noticed that 😂

[@SubwayFan83]

Keenan went from 1987 to 1977 when his hair changed. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@REYSHAUNTOPPS1]

I watched this movie like 100 times as a kid.....still kmsl @ how tough he was at first.... and how fast his curl dried up... 😂😂😂

[@nickabbott319]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@SSeitz-fe9yx]

I remember my dad brought this VHS tape home and my bro and watched it almost every weekend. We watched Hollywood Shuffle, Disorderlies, Coming to America, and The Five Heartbeats countless times. To this day I go around the house singing, “Rock it don’t stop it. Do the Jheri Curl.” 🤣

[@indiaknight3690]

Yessss and I'm gonna get you sucka and serial mom😆

[@JaeWest]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@henryjohnson8106]

Disorderlies was slept on. "You still hungry? Eat this. "! Even as a shorty that line took me

[@russiancyborg4330]

Robert Townsend was way ahead of his time.

[@alexandersmith1316]

Naw, this type of sense of humor came only from the late 80's to 90-91. Today it's all 1 liners and no idea what Blaxploitation is. Ever noticed Keenen Ivory Wayne's humor fell of the map after "In Living Color"

[@dimviesel]

Came way too early Pause😒

[@henryjohnson8106]

​@@alexandersmith1316Damn u got a point there. He did adapt tho. He was still the brains behind Don't be a Menace and All the Scary Movies and Dance Flick. He was around but yeah that 88-93 spurt was ahead of its time.

[@wavealip8059]

@ 1:26 Lmao Nick is laughing his ass off in the background at Keenan.

[@maskedmarvyl4774]

At 1:25, one of the actors standing in the back can't keep from smiling as Jerry Curl screams for his hair product....

[@jamieb8020]

😂😂😂😂

[@SkullFaceNinja]

The best scene is when Jheri Curl comes Out and says "lookin for me Punk?!" 😂😂

[@gnedsu]

Spraying*Ksh ksh!*

[@Allhoney33]

Before Coming to America's Soul Glo, there was Robert Townsend's Jheri Curl Johnson in Hollywood Shuffle! Will never forget this as long as I live and in my right mind. You had to be there to understand the significance, yet utter comedy of this movie. Townsend's Partner's in Crime was equally outstanding! Robert Townsend is extremely underrated and deserves tons and tons of credit and recognition!

[@JaceingtonSteele]

I am OBSESSED with this scene from timestamps 1:19 - 1:36. His face morphs into ALL of his brothers in order of age. First his own face, then Damon's face, then Shawn's face, then Marlon's face. Crazy how strong their gene pool is. 😁😁😄

[@kenarddavis1126]

Even a little Kim in there lol

[@seansumpter8811]

Especially Marlon lol

[@walcottdion5821]

​@@seansumpter8811🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣true

Yo! Pass that move ova to Jheri Curl ! "Curl...Curl...Curl...Curl"🤣

[@damedomedom]

Maaaann dude was locked in on his skills. They hyping him up like he really doing good teaching lessons lol. Can never get tired of watching this clip...oooh jheri curl juice flying everywhere lol

[@malikx3061]

Brother on the right side laughing @ 1:23 lol

[@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

I NEVER noticed that!!! LMAO!!!

[@rell27]

Explain how them 2 dudes didn’t see Townsend creepin up on the activator bottle?? 😂😂😂

[@DAMONDANIELS]

Too much activator blinded them

[@floydgavin7978]

@@DAMONDANIELS 🤣🤣🤣

[@BTman58]

Too busy watching Keenan doing the Jheri Curl..Curl..😂😂

[@MamaNuveau]

Thank you! That's something I've been wanting to know since I was 18! 🤣🤣

[@rell27]

Funny as hell!!! Townsend looked direct at the camera at 1:27

[@kslaytm8384]

Ok?

[@esean1367]

The dudes in the background dancing with Jheri when the curl juice hit their faces 😂😂😂

[@johnnyrobinson8168]

Anybody else notice the dancer on the right breaking character and laughing around 1:24?

[@goddessblack8787]

This was always my favorite part of the movie 😂🤣😂🤣

[@datyellaman447]

Hollywood shuffle is so underrated and so important

[@masterj4777]

This is the only time in my life I laughed so hard until I almost died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gnedsu]

I was getting activator, glycerin...😂😂😂

[@marvellespiller63]

He went from a Juicy Jerry curl to a mop head😂😂😂😂😂

[@YoungoneYoung-lm4xe]

I laughed till I couldn't catch my breath when I first saw this years ago.Just thinking about it makes me crack up.

[@boofdfast]

From greasy to knappy in 0.30 seconds. LMAO

[@aceboogie111]

Funniest movies scene ever lmao.. AYE PASS THAT MOVE TO JHERI!!!!! LOL

[@JugoxJuicybeatz]

I see where Marlon gets it from 🤣

[@shazookeemoon]

I was thinking the same thing. Marlon goes a little overboard with it, though!

[@DemonWarp65]

As a white man (and when I say white, I don't mean pink, I mean liquid paper white), I had no idea what the hell Jheri Curl was or what activator had to do with it when I first saw this decades ago, but that still did not stop me from laughing my ass off!

[@NatoShinobi]

Lol

[@whywomenhatemyforeskin2121]

Lol Funny. I bet if you was around in the 80s you probably was wondering why grease was always all over the place in public places 🤣🤣

[@JaeWest]

Funny is funny😂😂😂😂😂

[@willrodgers3034]

This stands the test of time! I remember the bus seats smeared with Jerry curl juice 😂

[@cavsfan7602]

He flicked him with Jheri curl juice lol

[@quincywright2821]

Rick James voice..."Activator is a HELL of a drug!"🤣🤣🤣

[@andreblackburn602]

Damon Wayans first line... Just follow the empty activator bottles to his crib

[@MindfulMatters734]

Hey that's my activator man!

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

The henchman on the right totally breaking at 1:24 would've been me 100/100 times filming this. We would've never gotten this scene done because I would've been crackin' up in the background.

[@jsherrod29]

Curl, Curl, Curl 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alchemicalone5012]

The transformation though!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@fantasybouthour6679]

I almost pissed myself when I first saw this.😂😂

[@JillyBean860]

I reference this scene all the time. I love Keenan Ivory Wayans

[@Its_Buffy_B-tches]

Same! I JUST sang the "jheri curl song" to a friend and he had no clue what I was talking about (some people have no culture😒🤣).. had to find a clip for him and here I am lol.

[@kaleidoscopex7213]

As a little kid I thought Keenan was Deion Sanders for the longest lmaoooo

[@2kdemiks816]

😹😹😹😹

[@blastradius9136]

"Hey dats my activator man" lol

[@trishwalton8869]

When i 1st saw this film years ago as a child. I remember laughing my ass off @ damn there every scene. Here it is some 20yrs l8tr 4 me and I'm still laughing my ass off, as if it was the 1st time I'm seeing this shit....LMFAO :-D....I wish they wld go back 2 making movies like this, but they dnt make em like they use 2.... :-(

[@Leon-zu1wp]

I slick my hair back everyday using gel and hair spray, I'm just like Jheri curl whenever someone threatens to mess it up

[@TriciaTakanawa_]

His back is turned, i doubt that's Keenan dancing.😆

[@akspov]

[@Kalifornyalove]

[@floridaloveclifton5175]

The fact that the Poison Clan sampled this segment for the song Jeri Curl. 0:05 0:51- 0:53 1:26 😂😂😂

[@jaybeswick9062]

Inspired by Paul mooney & richard pryor keenan ivory eddie murphy & rob was killing with the comedy writing ✍

[@TwinRiver100]

@Movieclips why are there muted spots at 1:29 until the see more section at the end? was there some kind of rights strike on this or something that had to silence this for some weird reason?

[@aldwinthomas2432]

Jerry curl back da f@@@ up when he got dat activator...shit shrunk real quick lol

[@Pluskeys]

I don’t know if y’all noticed, but the dude in the background was trying not to laugh

[@jameyjones8863]
