Why is this film so CRIMINALLY underrated?

Good film.

Methinks it is not a case of it being anti-white, rather, the staus-quo in america have a problem with anything pro-black. The film eventually makes the point that we should work together rgardless of race. You had a white person working for the BROTHERHOOD, and white she-devil was allowed to join.

I think it touched on a few nerves. But it had a black hero, who was proud of his ethnicity, and didn't die in the first 10minutes or died first or needed his white friend to save him.

And because the villain was unequivocably white, was prob a reason. In this film the black people were NOT responsible for the problems in this films world. They weren't crack heads, gang bangers commiting black-on-black violence, robbing and killing each other and everybody


And the message we get so clearly from most films is that it is usaully black people who aresonsible for their own predicament. And the worst ones say they deserve it.

So sad.....

Still doesn't change it is a criminally underated film

Although my mind is breaking my existence makes a channel for the pain

I saw this movie today for the first time and I was laughing out loud all through it! So many lame comedies out have just stupid, tired jokes and slapstick that you've seen a hundred times already. This movie was a smart, funny satire that gave everybody equal time in the target zone. I could watch it again and still get a kick out of it. It was genius to cast James Brown as the target of "the man's" plot! "Say it loud!" That was just perfect!

Ssssshh! You'll wake up the monkey!

if you actually listened to the movie, the ending moral was they all worked together as one..black, white, man, woman..dont matter.

the movie was full of stereotypes that our culture created. it was cause all these bitter white ppl (im white btw) who think the film was making fun of just them, when its making fun of stereotypes..

a fun film ppl, most of you wouldnt understand a fun film.

No--it ain't racist---basically people who are familiar with the plotlines of blaxsploitation films from the '70's and African-American history/culture in general would understand the humor. I do, and that's what made the jokes in this flick even funnier to me. That's what you need to know some of in order to get the jokes. Just because YOU didn't understand it dosen't make it a dumbass flick---did you even watch the film? It sure as hell dosen't sound like you did, so shut the hell up,watch it,laugh and then come back to the board when you actually have something worth saying about it.
