I found a review of this, which can explain many things in this movie, even that article tells about events involving the filming of this movie. If you watched "Baadasssss!" (2003) the half-documentary of Sweetback, you could recall some of those events. Here's the link, better read it if you already watched "Sweet Sweetback" electricsheepmagazine.co.uk/reviews/2007/05/29/sweet-sweetbacks-baadasssss-song/
it's interesting to note that earth wind and fire actually did the song and the sex scenes with melvin van peebles were unsimulated. i was a kid when it came out and all you would hear on am radio was a woman "in the heat of the moment" scream: SWEET, SWWWEEEET BACK !!!! (which was cause for giggles in front of mama....)
I had to watch this movie for African American Film Studies and it was absolute torture to sit through it. I'm still scratching my head over what the hype was about.
@trevez789 its about racism, drugs, destruction of society, the abuse by the power structure which control the police, searching for ones self. the things all should know about.
i watched Sweet Sweetbacks 2003 version playing by the sun of melvin.
It´s a great movie, the man put his hole energy in this film, respect. I don´t know the older version but i think it must be a great movie, cause it´s not the typicall hollywood stuff with some stereotypes.
@blablaidontcarewhour The person that uploaded it is a retarded faggot though, he's jealous because I uploaded this and the prequel on my old account while he only uploaded the trailer, he's going to block me again like he always does because he's a pussy piece of shit, lol, pathetic, moronic creature.
I'm white and this movie is really terrible. It's got nerve and energy, but it's profoundly stupid and incompetent in all aspects. Pure camp that should have been a revolutionary cry.
If you have already, then disregard my comment, you are entitled to your opinion. But If you haven't, I strongly recommend you watch the movie "Baadassss" starring Mario Van Peebles (Melvin's son) that was made several years ago. It's a movie about the making of this movie and you will understand why this film (Sweetback's) was indeed "revolutionary" and why it was very important for it to be made.
Since I heard from the Listener Request and my crave always runs deep for the . Sweetback. Apparently, their old old albums had been gone out of the market and you know what it does mean. You"ll be lucky to grab it but thanks to youtube
After 10 years record collecting, I finally found a very nice copy yesterday for 6.00. This was the last recording needed to complete the MVP collection. This and all the A&M lps are recommended.
with EWF on the soundtrack, I had a chance to buy this gem on vinyl years ago and passed it up because I thought they wanted TOO much for it..... *stickin myself*
