He'll make any genre movie into a blaxploitation film.
Gangster movies:
Westerns:
Bruceploitation:
You name the genre, fred williamson will make that crap funky as hell.
BTW that Bruceploitation film I posted is freaking hilarious. It's in the public domain so you can watch it in it's entirety on youtube.

You know, I've had huge blaxploitation discussions with friends of mine who don't know that this genre exists. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has watched these type of films. One of my personal favorites is Black Belt Jones with Jim Kelly, but Fred "The Hammer" Williamson did a bunch of roles in such films.
And as long as I'm mentioning the genre, what about Shaft? That was a great one as well.

Across 110th street is good though not a typical blaxploitation. Petey Wheatstraw is also entertaining in it's hilarity.

Fred Williamson is the man. Probably my favorite blaxploitation actor.

Yeah, Fred Williamson made blaxploitation, imo. There's only a very few of that genre I've seen and enjoyed that he wasn't featured in. Cotton Comes to Harlem being one of them.

There are so many movies I can't mention here because the titles would break board rules ...

You wouldn't even be able to make a modern blaxploitation film now. The closest you'll get is machete, and that's more self aware than blaxploitation was. |
