...there were countless, low-budget films about oppressed minorities kicking the shit out of corrupt cops.
It was part of the Blacksploitation genre and it was glorious.
And I am moved to wonder, as the Trump administration turns masked goons loose in American cities to go full Gestapo, if we might not also be looking forward to a renaissance of indie films about urban heroes, spin-kicking and cock-punching ICE thugs until, at last, they face off against a cowering, sniveling Mr. Big Forehead, who will be played by Pauly Shore
Fun Fact: Believe it or not, before they ran out, one could buy a (reproduction) Superfly movie poster at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Because capitalism.
