This was a somewhat entertaining spoof of the 1970s "blaxplotation" films. Here we have the big afro-haired hero Eddie Griffith fighting against "The Man." Wow, it seems like only yesterday we used and heard all this '60s and '70s jargon.
The film takes potshots as both white and black stereotypes, leaning more, of course, against the whites because that's a safe road for Liberal filmmakers to take. To the people who make movies, that beats being neutral or impartial, which one would think is the best way to treat people.
There are some funny moments and some funny characters but it's a little too politically-correct and too stupid to see more than once.
