[GanjaMantys]

hehe my name is Mantis :D i live in Lithuania :D

[cov238]

James Joe Jackson Muhammad Abdul Hassan Jr. the III is BLACK MANTIS

hilarious

[JoyGrenade]

This totally should have won.

[AMOVIEGUY14]

what music was that during the prevues of coming attractions feature?

[chappy422]

pretty ok up until the end

[inneri]

Awesome!!  When's the Zombie Cop movie coming??

[DeJayPlp]

This is great! Nice job Mantis!!!

[FetketBC]

James Joe Jackson Muhammad Abdul Hassan Jr the third is the new Bruce Lee.

[celawjr]

OH this is GREAT!!! awesome shit man.

[oluap08082010]

hahaha is that a fake or a realy bad movy?^^

[wordorbit]

how do you give these videos the "vintage" look? my friends and i were thinking of making a grindhouse style trailer

[MyRsIrl]

Cool, I have a white mantis, in my group , but he can't fight...

[wwetheundertaker]

I was wondering what the song playing in the feature presentation part at the start is?? They used it in the black dynamite trailer as well, i cant seem to find it though!

[sprinklesals]

ahhh...a lil too much like "black dynamite"...

[aswani69]

@sprinklesals It was made a year or two before Black Dynamite.

[Samisadinosaur]

this was out waaay before "Black Dynamite"

[aswani69]

@Samisadinosaur And besides, we're both spoofing the same thing so of course they'll be similar.

[EttoreFerretti]

I really prefer this than Hobo. Overall the blaxploitation sense is persistent, the final flying kick is beautiful and ralenty gives it so "seventy" feeling. Great! Thanks for it.

[DeviL220307]

Too funny for the Grindhouse trailer selection, but it is awesomw

[TheCGIMaster]

James Joe Jackson Muhammad Abdul Hassan JR III

LOL XDD

[M1A188]

" ¡ BLACK MANTIS ! "  LOL!

[Wtfgames]

LOL NICE good job

[twisted841]

All the things I like in Black, Marital Art, Exploitation flicks. Funny and cool at the same time. Do you fear "THE BLACK MANTIS?"

[kangoos2000]

Best Trailer Ever

[WorlddestroyGuy]

and his rage is as dark as his skin xD

[FlatOutFucked]

I want to learn that 'Deadly "Mantis" Pose'!!! lol

[dirtyweasel]

1. Hobo with a shotgun

2. Black Mantis

[blaynestaleypro]

nice

[Nekochan456]

i like this one, i'd love to see it made into a real movie.

"James Joe Jackson Muhammad Abdul Hassan Jr. III is....Black Mantis!" Oh awsome look, and it's got that 70's movie feel.

[izzieguitarrock]

xDDDDDD

That seriously made me laugh a lot..

I was like

WHEN IS HE GOING TO STOP SAYING "BLACK MANTIS"?!?!?! I GET IT ALREADY!!!! xDDDDDDD

[svtfocus]

Fucken melik LMFAO I really want to see this movie!

[CesMan83]

This and "Hobo With a Shotgun" are my favorites from that Grindhouse fake trailer contest...they really oughta make both movies into full-length features!

[Goblintom]

I really wanna see this, make it please?

[AtotheDamn]

i mostly liked how his name was so long

[moneymaka1609]

Jimmy takes his woman like he takes his chocolate - black

LOL

[TianyieSeiWoi]

if ever a film comes for this one, i'd really want to see this

[sweeteuthiedoll]

HAHAHAHA This was amazing... Hilarious as hell, and very nice editing!

[JCVDFan1]

lol at the deadly mantis pose

[funckydog88]

Questi erano i veri negri non quei figetti Rap filo-papponi pomposi arroganti dai capelli lisci che vogliono fottersi le donne trattandole come delle merde

se li incontra black mantis "WATAHHHHHHHH"

[mzrealm]

More like Afro Samurai! XD

[godzillarecords]

ey la buena

[JKTube]

I loved it. Great work.

[trevorwatson]

the mantis is one bad assed mo-fo. this would be an awesome film , make it please.

[arvid0391]

i take women as i take my chocolate, black

[eduardite]

good line

[FFFan3445]

I'd watch it. Blaxploitation ftw.

[loserboy2049]

that was awesome

[FrictionControl]

Strong finish! Well done.

[Rebel2814]

hehe Black Mantis has style, real blaxploitation.

[certificate18flix]

too good!!!

[captainhoodoo]

I dig it... for real man!

[Thevideopyramidhead1]

Your ass is mine honkey.lol

[Plastic5Skull]

That was great! Surprised it wasn't one of the top five.

[CTroko]

This is better than Hobbo with a shotgun

[endo191]

I thought so too

[Turppa21]

haha

[daynebry]

I have seen several Grindhouse trailers even Hobo with a Shotgun. It was pretty good but yours is GREAT!!! I really think it should have been picked.

[masx]

You the sucka :0

[Kylhian]

Amazing !!

[darkturnwabler]

WTF i thought that all vetemanes did was nail no offece goin off a comic's joke

[HiredGunz]

wtf

[darkturnwabler]

a vetemanens comedian was talkin about how all other asian places have there own fighting style which most ppl can readeally identify

[HiredGunz]

again wtf do you mean vietnamese...and readily

[darkturnwabler]

did he no say he learned a vietnamese fighting style by readily like if you ask they would almost instantly know where its from

[masx]

The guy playing Black Mantis is actually a martial arts specialist at a Sports University .

[whoisstarkz]

fuck u need to learn how to spell...

[aswani69]

It's deliberate douchebag. PREVUES was spelled like that in old 70's trailers. There are some words that are spelled differently in Britain, like license (licence).

[whoisstarkz]

my bad homie, i wasnt talkin bout tha trailer, i been seein 'prevues' since monkey hustle! tha trailer dope as hell!!! i dont even remember wat i was talkin bout that time! but i dont think it was connected to this video at all!!

[thatguy0987]

@aswani69 LMAO!

[Plastic5Skull]

Out of all the fake grindhouse trailers ive seen on here this and Cong of the Dead are my favourite. This is a great blaxploitation/kung fu movie! Good job!

[ShadowManStudios]

This would awesomely fit the Grindhouse theme. Action, Comedy and some nice violance.

[mef2005]

james joe jackson muhammed abdul hassan jr. the third  HA HA HA

[H4Ck3d221]

"You kill my momma, you raped my sister, and you shoot my dog!" xDDDD

[Ironegle]

I can't wait to see part 2

[nemesis59]

Excellent and ROFL!

[BlackProteus]

Okay, if they make this an actual movie, I will be the first motherfucker in line to spend my money. Black Mantis! Hwaaaaaaa!

[masx]

I saw Black mantis in the youtube video incorporaider . . . is this the same guy

[IKnowThatDude]

This is the best made Grindhouse Trailer I've seen on here that was in the competiion. Funny shit man!

[leangelodemorte]

[ComaLies225]

That's so awesome. Should of been chosen

[rippa1889]

[sumpmiffot]

Grindhouse is excellent! This is excellent.

[zamyas2003]

seriously, this shit is dope. make it a full length!

[CaptWilby]

I thought this was too funny. Good job.

[masx]

I now believe there is a god and his name is the black mantis. So it was true the whole time, Jesus was black.

[winks121276]

Funny

[pnroyal]

Is that Chad Johnson? 8)

[davidtennantaddict13]

This is hilarious! I love the repetition of Black Mantis throughout. Excellent job!

[TNAOBassist]

xD I can't stop laughing.

People really need to start making there own Grindhouse movies.

[mpakouras]

ahhahaha THIS TRAILER KICKS ASS, i was going to see it if it was a real movie!!!

[DVDFREAK101]

Very funny!

[bbourke85]

one of the best ones ive seen!

[RockerAss666]

black version of bruce lee hahaahhahahaha

[Onyejijiz]

Excellent narration and storyline. Could be a good comedy but not grindhouse essence material. Nice use of the camera with quickshots.

[scottzenegger]

Very groovy! I loved it!

[thefunkitect]

blahahahaha that was hilarious love it. "black mantis takes his women like he takes his chocolate...Dark." hauhauhauha

[trustarscreamer]

you killed my momma, raped my sister and KILLED MY DOG!

[VideoNut81]

Jimmy takes his women like he takes his chocolate...dark! Hilarious! I wish they would add all these submissions to the inevitable full grindhouse release!

[zandreea]

[paradamed]

[garylssk]

"don't jive me sucker"

[rippedinprocess]

Ahahaha awesome trailer!

[24TONY72]

[IceFloeHyoga]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!, Good Job!

[Andre2010]

the only thing missing in the character is the some super heeled boots

[stefs]

really awesome. great work, aswani!

[richglo34]

aswani, did u make the prevues screen urself or did u get it from somewhwere?

[aswani69]

I made it in Apple Motion.

[Gugulus]

she blew a piece of his fro off her hand!!

[tuskenraiders]

i loved it.

[ivyblade]

"You killed my mother, raped my sister, and you shot my dog! Your ass is mine, honky!"

Hilarious!

[8ball187]

you people chat too much fucking shit - its just a fucking video, get over it you fucking emo cunts.

[thenightjunky]

haha sweet trailer dude

[LLMelvinL]

I found this pretty cool and funny.

[Apollo19870]

JamesJoeJacksonMuhammadAbdulHa­ssanJrthe3rd lol

[rjhgfalkfgalkdbfarh]

wow this trailer really sucked balls

big black balls

[soulkissed]

Hahahaaaa! Awesome!  Cool trailer! :)

And to the poster above me, Game of Death SUCKED.

[decunamus]

Briljant. Also watch MEATLOVE the movie on YOUTUBE.

[rabguy]

Oh lord, this is hilarious! Man, I'd love to see an actual film of this. I think so far out of all the "Grindhouse" SXSW trailers I've seen, this one is my favorite. Great job and the MK sfx is inspired :)

[saynotodrug999]

the third haha

[ReservoirDoggy]

Hells Whores, The dead Wont Die, and Black Mantis are all better than Hobo with a Shotgun.

[Tiberius333]

The 'dead won't die' was pretty good but 'black mantis' and 'hell whores' are lame. They Look like they took a day to film and edit, seriously they are poorly made pieces of shit. Hobo can pass as an actual trailer and took more then a couple of hours to make. Do not bash 'hobo' the vastly superior trailer.

[tinotsutchie]

thats really how long some grindhouse movies take, really. I remember robert rodriguez said it would take him six days to shoot machete in true grindhouse style. this is damn good. Like the scary movie of exploitation. the first two tho.

[zacharymaldonado]

Hey, what program did you use to get that aged look to the film. Its awsome! and also what about the thing in the beggining?

[aswani69]

It's a final cut plug in, part of the nattress film effects package. The opening swirl background is from Apple's Motion program.

[Mathadar]

Part 1

watch?v=oO0RjErOYVY

Part 2

watch?v=lUvqt-AsRB0

[TheWuCepticon3]

This is so fuckin stupid, Hobo was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than this shit.

[Mathadar]

Please use the terms "In my opinion" to prevent looking like a egomaniac.

[TheWuCepticon3]

I would have used the term "In my opinion", but this shit so fuckin bad, there is no way it's an opinion.......IT'S A FUCKIN FACT!!! THIS SHIT SUCKS!!! I know piece of shit when I see one. No egomaniac here just, just a very good bullshit caller.

[Mathadar]

it was supposed to be shit, thats what made it funny! It was like the sound guy from Police Academy movies, allmost completely!

[TheWuCepticon3]

I fully understand exploitation films, and how these mock trailers work. I saw Grindhouse, but the trailers in there were truly funny, and they looked like they could potentially be good exploitation films. But, this is just completely an uninterestin and unfunny piece of shit. Hobo With A Shotgun was funny and could fit right in with the other Grindhouse trailers. Machete, Werewolf Women Of The S.S., Don't, Thanksgiving, and Hobo With A Shotgun.....all top notch trailers.

[Mathadar]

Those were all professionally done, these are for the Rodriguez Trailer Contest, all low budget. Personally I prefer Dead Noon and Hells Whores. But this one wasn't bad, just not as good as the others.

[TheWuCepticon3]

I'm not tryin to force my opinion on u, cuz I really hate when people try to do that to me. But, be honest could u really see this in Grindhouse?

[Mathadar]

Course not, I just said it was good for a cheap fanmade Grindhouse Trailer. Many of the hit sounds come from Mortal Kombat

[TheWuCepticon3]

Alot the sounds also come Bruce Lee's "Game Of Death", a movie he was barely in. I did see the "Dead Noon" trailer, and I thought that was very good.

[Mathadar]

I remember Game of Death, that was awesome, despite Bruce Lee barely being in it, as you stated so eloquently. Dead Noon was I might add, higher budget however. It is already filmed, its in the post-production process currently, to be released this summer.

[TheWuCepticon3]

I'll definitely check for Dead Noon. Game of Death in my opinion, could've been Bruce Lee's best movie. But, only if they would've kept the same story from the current version. Bruce Lee's original story had been drastically changed do to his untimely death. In fact, the only thing that's similar to his version are the parts that he's actually in.

[Mathadar]

Hmm, well said, we will remember you Bruce!

[TheWuCepticon3]

He paved the way for not only Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chuck Norris, but for mixed martial arts as well. He was the greatest of all time.

[sparkbrinks]

This has nothing on Hobo with a shotgun. I didn't laugh once.

[fourthwall1]

hobo was lame. I'm glad it wasn't showing everywhere.

[sparkbrinks]

yea, cause that 3 min wouldve been unbearable..

[fourthwall1]

FUcking GREAT!!! Tell me someone, why did hobo win over this? Whens the short film coming along? I'm so motivated over it, I will offer my free services to help you write it.

Simply great, keep up the good work.

[Tiberius333]

Cause this looks like shit and hobo looked like an actual trailer. Hobo had so much occuring in the trailer, and so many characters. This on the other hand had very little going for it. It would make a terrible film.

[JoeFranks]

Very true. It was a horrible trailer. But even Tarantino would be the first to admit that most grindhouse movies suck. So the trailer doesn't mean shit

[DeviL220307]

"Your ass is mine... Funky"

The best line

[TheWuCepticon3]

"Your ass is mine... Honky"...was the line

[armchair2pt0]

ROFLMAO, that's the funniest one I've seen yet!

[Survivor2002]

THIS didn't win the contest??? I was CRYING by the end of the trailer...I don't think the ones in the movie were this freakin' funny! LOVED it!!!!

[JoyGrenade]

How the hell didn't this win? This is the funniest one out of all them! "The Deadly 'Mantis' Pose", love it.

[gdhuertas07]

That was one of the coolest grindhouse movie trailers I've ever seen. Bravo!

[radiosteele]

Amazing - simply amazing.

[Hannibal2046]

Holy hell, how did I miss this one?! It's awesome!

Great job, guys!

[madcow8686]

lmfao

this was

hilarious. why wasnt this in theatres?

[isitanevil]

This should have been attached instead of Hobo with a Shotgun. As much as I thought Hobo With a Shotgun was awesome, Grindhouse NEEDED a blaxploitation trailer as that era wasn't represented at all.

[Fatman6666]

This is the first blaxploitation trailer I have seen. Great job!

[quikslither]

BRILLIANCE!!!!

[laalaatwnn]

This is rather good, loved when the man lost his hand, was a little cheesy though.

[CesMan83]

That's pretty much the point, dude...grindhouse flicks were all pretty cheesy...that's what made them interesting!

[djnotnerb]

Excellent! Very nicely done.

[ElArlequin]

This is TOP NOTCH!

Please TARANTINO, produce this film as a whole movie!

Best reggards!

[budd]

Duddde freaken great, about time I saw some great grindhouse Black exploitation, freaken great

[terminallunch]

If this was played a LITTLE straighter, you could have fooled me into thinking it was real. The look is perfect. Excellent job! Mine are sexploitation - check them out.
