Man, Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby to me, were one of the greatest comedy duos I ever seen. I think they played in like two other movies. I hope they think of doing another comedy together in the future. They maybe older but I believe they still have that chemistry.

I admit it will be difficult to make a remake of these 3 movies. However, it would be intteresting to see how it would be interpreted nowadays. Sidney Poitier's speech in "A piece of the Action" would still resonate today.

This is my favorite movie of all-time. My brother and I to this day quote and text lines to each other from this movie for fun. I'm not kidding. Nobody knows this movie better than I do. Some people have the Godfather. I have Let's do it Again. And by the way, Will Smith's production company bought the rights to all three movies. I don't really think they should do a remake but it will draw intrest in this classic.

Back in the day, it was O.K. to use the "F" word before it became a slur toward those with an "alternate lifestyle." This movie depicted the times it was made in. It could be considered a high-class blaxploitation film because of the impact of Cosby and Poitier. But Amos, Lockhart, and Walkers roles are great.
