"I ain't be got no weapons" P.S. the Mandingo slave scene is still freaking hilarious!

”She was a good kisser, but her breath was stinky. But so what? You don't get rid of a Rolls Royce just because there's a dent in it.” Lol. :-) Sad that this movie is still relevant, though.

This movie probably wouldn't get distribution today. Damn shame too.

I was on Crenshaw! I bought some hair care products. I bought some activator, I bought some glyciren and I bought some curl activator

Bobby Taylor: I believe this movie. A dude could jump off a mountain and not hurt himself, 'cause he did brace himself, and knew something about the levels of gravitivity and polarity.

AWESOME MOVIE! With a budget of $100,000, of which $60,000 was funded from Robert Townsend's own credit cards, and grossing over $5 million over the first ten months of release. Hollywood Shuffle... more

AWESOME MOVIE! With a budget of $100,000, of which $60,000 was funded from Robert Townsend's own credit cards, and grossing over $5 million over the first ten months of release. Hollywood Shuffle brings into light the lack of substantial roles for black actors and the misrepresentation of people of color in film and television.

Through satire, the film is able to use negative stereotypes put out by mass media and turn them against Hollywood. The film's plot reveals the perceived racism behind the camera that has relegated black actors to take demeaning roles for money and a chance at stardom. This point is personified in the casting director's constant demand for actors to “be more black.”

The script also levels some criticism towards black actors who are willing to take demeaning roles. This is highlighted in the protest skit, when an NAACP spokesman (played by Paul Mooney) states at a press conference, "they'll never play the Rambos until they stop playing the Sambos."

I want to commend Robert Townsend for never cross dressing as a woman! No sell out!

I aint be got no weapon...why you be got to pull a knife on me?

A CLASSIC! BLACK ACTING SCHOOL, WINKY DINKY DOG! UH HA! THAT'S RIGHT! DO THE JHERI CURL!!!
