God, that was a good time. #PeteyWheatstraw

Kudos to the cast! No budget and they probably made it in no time, too, but some very fine acting. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Thanks #FrightClub! We are back tomorrow with a Stephen King doubleheader! The Dark Half (1992) and Misery (1990).

Yeah, he kept quiet about it. I might be looking way too into it, but I feel like there's so much queer coding with the performative over-the-top hetero-normitivity of Rudy. It'd be like finding out the lyricist for The Bloodhound Gang or Andrew Dice Clay were gay! ๐Ÿคฃ

I wish the blaxploitation genre would have lasted long enough to get a Petey Wheatstraw / Sugar Hill crossover, but unfortunately, by 1977, it was petering out ... Blacula VS Blackenstein was just sitting there waiting to be produced as well ...

Complete with deep red nail polish and lipstick!

He looks damn good in that disco devil outfit.

Yes.

He stayed pretty closeted in his public life, didn't he? I think he kind of had to, given when and how he became a big deal.

But if we look for that wink and nod in the performances, it's there!

Thank you kind! Loved his work since my early 20s and always acknowledged its satirical flair, but after finding out Moore was gay I really started thinking about the exaggered machismo of characters like Dolemite and Petey Wheatstraw in a new light! He was the best!

Petey tired out all the demon girls!

Are they even alive? Or still undead, whatever? They're definitely not conscious!

Thank you, kind! Rudy does seem to have that great deadplan serios stare while still managing to smirk at the tongue-in-cheek, mock self-seriousness of his characters; kind of sums up a lot of his m.o., imho! He winks at you while staring daggers!

Nice one

He does this fun thing where his face isn't necessarily super serious but his eyes are, and you really got that!

Adorable puppy!

That lady has enough people to take care of already. I was a little surprised she wanted to add a dog. But he is super cute!

If you don't have a funky club opening scene musical interlude, multiple car chases, three kung fu fight scenes, at least three nude shots, and enough smart-ass quotable clap-backs to shut down any John Bircher in your blaxploitation film, are you even trying?

I thought for SURE that's where that was going but no, they went with the slapstick bomb disposal gag instead.
