It virtually created the blaxploitation film genre, and is fascinating from a production level thanks to Melvin Van Peebles' total control over the production. Plus, Bill Cosby was one of the primary financiers of the flick.

Didn't Melvin Van Peebles get VD while filming the sex scenes (because he actually had sex during them.)

Quantum of Phallus posted:That is heroic if true. Yup, it is true. Because the film's budget was so low and there were no stunt doubles, Van Peebles did all of his own stunts. This included the sex scenes, which he was able to classify as a "stunt." Since he was "injured on the job" he was able to make it a worker's comp issue and was rewarded compensation. He then took the money and put it right back into the movie to get it finished. The lack of a stunt double is also why the writer/director/producer/lead actor of the entire film jumped off of a bridge nine times.

I guess this weekend I'll need to do a double feature of "Sweet Sweetback" and "Badasssssss". This poster has one of my favorite taglines of all time: "Rated X by an all-white jury"

Hey KinkyJohn, part of my order arrived today and the Dude poster is really loving cool. It's printed on nice stock too, so good choice of distributor. Now I just need to frame it and hang it over the bar... I also need a bar.

caligulamprey posted:That (along with the subtitle House II: The Second Story) are just so utterly, Diamond-like in their utter flawlessness that I hope whoever came up with them wrote them down and then walked away into fog, never to be seen again, because what they just wrote will never be topped. People know about House? I love that movie! Is House II any good?

Shoehead posted:People know about House? I love that movie! Is House II any good? The first one is arguably the "better" movie. Despite the slapstick, it takes itself seriously enough to eek out a plot of actual merit about loss, suicide, and the horrors of war. House II: The Second Story is a batshit insane film that features magic mayan skulls, undead cowboys and a caterpillar dog (yes, you read that right). I love both, but that's because I'm biased as they occupy a special, B-movie part of my heart next to films like the Critters and The Puppet Master movies.

 My friend thought there was something odd about this cover, then he pinpointed it: Goatse I think he's just been over-exposed to it.

Yeah, when I scrolled down and saw the top of that Dummy poster this is exactly what I thought of as well. Puppets like that freak me out, thanks to Magic. The Puppetmaster movies didn't do anything for me though, dunno why.

 If it doesn't have the ring, it isn't "goatse". gently caress's sake, imgur isn't letting me upload again. Imagine the poster for Men Who Stare At Goats is here and I have titled it "Goatsee".
