So basically this movie teaches black kids how to steal, degredate women, battery, assaulting a police officer, auto theft, hit and run, rape, grand theft, flim-flam, and straight up Jive Turkying..... DAMN! and all I got to watch was Family Ties
Aw no fair!! I wanna learn all about the world of Flim- Flam, assaulting Police Officers, and sexually assaulting woman! Do I hafta be black ta' learn?
look at 2:03... this is filmed in washington park (where the olympics are soon to be) and the sign reads "save the home of the future olympics" creepy huh...
Okay, I notice that there's always some ethnic bullshit being said on this site for blaxploitation flicks. "For Once In My Life" by Stevie Wonder was written by whites...so what??? But his version & voice made it a classic. We are all supposed to ignore color, upbringing & trips and get together to make all types of people feel entertained. If you wanna know a person, sit, chat, eat and fellowship with them. that's what the producers and directors did....so STFU with that bullshit!!!
What is being said by these brothers is true, devils wrote the screen play, but one thing that our Beautiful Black people knew how to do was have a real good time even when devils tryed to make life hard for us! Black Power for Life.
One of the weaker examples of the blaxploitation genre...Monkey Hustle does not have an "empowering" theme here (i.e. Coffy, Foxy Brown)...the movie portrays blacks as simpleton, penny-ante crooks...I'm assuming that the dialogue was written by a bunch of white males and this was their interpretation of how they thought blacks talked...resulting in a caricature-like "street" dialogue. This is an example of the genre that led to the backlash against and end to blaxploitation.
you dope, almost every blaxploitation movie out there was put together by a bunch of white dudes... read the credits on these movies... it's mostly white people.
sole coffy & foxy brown writer? jack hill, a white dude who wrote exploitation flicks. monkey hustle had a black writer, odie hawkins (story)... i couldn't find much about charles johnson.
and how does this paint blacks simpletons? this could be about ANYONE. kid gets sucked into a crook's game & by proxy so does his brother.
@notpip Odie hawkins was an author who was published by Holloway House publishing he had some really good books but not as good as Donald Goins who was also in the HH stable.

I love how they bill Rudy Ray Moore in this movie as a big star--but he's only in it for literally 5 minutes. Total let down.

Yeah, must have been written by a bunch of white males. Everyone knows they're all ignorant racists.

Great 70's flick. Taped in Chicago. Check out an extremely young Robert Townsend and Thomas Carter.
