Det er svært sjeldent at ikke mesteparten av disse tingene ikke er på plass, så noe får man ut av filmer som disse uansett. Black Caesar har i tillegg Cohen bak kameraet, og han får mange minneverdige sekvenser ut av manuset sitt (som ikke er spesielt sprekt). A R K I V Filmen er stappfull av klisjeer, men selv om dette er ikke er noen dyp historie er den bred nok; Er Tommy Gibbs bare en grisk drittsekk, eller har han andre sider? Mora og barndomskompisen mener han er Satan, og de har Velg måned et poeng, men samtidig redder han vel gata fra The Man? Han har problemer med faren sin som han fikser fint, problemer med dama som han fikser veldig dårlig (skakkars; hun blir voldtatt to ganger ved to forskjellige anledninger, banket, får ungene sine røvet bort og blir deretter drept i løpet av halvannen film), og sekvensen der han får skopusserdagene sine omhyggelig ut av systemet er noe av det mest minneverdige jeg ser i år. B A R E F I L M Captain Charisma Tommy innhentes selvfølgelig av skjebnen til slutt. Eller gjør han det? De første 5-6 minuttene av Hell up in Harlem er rett og slett slutten på Black Caesar i reprise med noen små forandringer som helt tar brodden fra Filmdagbok forgjengerens moralistiske klimaks. HuiH er en oppfølger av den gamle skolen, her kastes mesteparten av den Montages første filmens kvaliteter på båten til fordel for mange og lange (og riktignok kule) actionsekvenser.

Speilet Black Caesar er filmen Chuck D & Co. bestemmer seg for å se i steden for Driving Miss Daisy i den klassiske PE-låta Burn, Hollywood, Burn.

Offering overblown fantasies of black power and heroism filmed on the sites of race rebellions of the late 1960s, blaxploitation films were objects of fierce debate among social leaders and commentators for the image of blackness they projected, in both its aesthetic character and its social and political utility. After some time spent as the "bad object" of African-American cinema history,[1] critical and theoretical interest in blaxploitation resurfaced in the 1990s, in part due to the way that its images-- and sounds--recirculated in contemporary film and music cultures. Since the early 1990s, a new generation of African-American filmmakers has focused

Ambulance man was picking them off the floor! When I had a gig, the promoter would warn the hospital: "Rudy's on tonight -- you're gonna be carrying bodies out of the motherfucking club!" We see that we are in a RADIO BOOTH. A sign blinks "On The Air." The DJ, ROJ, frowns at the record. ROJ "Buggy Ride"? RUDY Wasn't no small-time shit. ROJ GodDAMN, Rudy! That record's 1000 years old! I've got Marvin Gaye singin' "Let's Get It On"! I can't be playin' no "Buggy Ride." (beat) Look, I have 60 seconds. I have to cue the next tune. Hm! Rudy bites his lip and walks away. Roj tries to go back to his job. He reaches for a Sly Stone single -- when Rudy suddenly bounds back up. RUDY How about "Step It Up and Go"? That's a real catchy rhythm-and-blues number.

Larry Cohen started his career in New York writing television for NBC. He created the 1960s sci-fi show The Invaders. Cohen then moved into Hollywood production, writing scripts for such films as Return of the Magnificent Seven (1966) and Daddy’s Gone A-Hunting (1969). The writer soon was writ- ing and directing low-budget blaxploitation flicks Black Caesar and Hell Up in Harlem (both in 1973), and cheap exploitation horror films. As a B filmmaker, Cohen then turned out what is still considered a classic, It’s Alive (1974), a ghastly but undeni- ably effective yarn about a killer baby (with music by Bernard Herrmann). Never slick or expensive, Cohen’s films always maintained interest by falling back on the bazaar or unexpect- ed.

The most remarkable characteristics of the gangster genre are its ethnically or racially non-white protagonist and the tendency for the gangster to experience an identity-challenging loss.
