I thought he was much younger than that. Love those old Blaxploitation films. What rocks in that preview is that sweet Clavinet.

That's too funny; love the 'fros and dashikis. Re: R.I.P. RUDY RAY MOORE
Yep, and I think that the fight scenes are pretty campy, too ... it's like they practiced them in slow motion, then forgot to do them at normal speed when the cameras rolled!

Many of these films came out when I was Jr College and a buddy of mine from Watts would take me to see them in So Central LA. The audience was really into it. You have to remember that African Americans at that time were never portrayed as the hero/anti-hero but were a sidekick at best ...we would get right in there and root for the brother...some good times..
