"wears $600 suits, drives a $10,000 car and has two guns-one to stop trouble and one to make trouble". Forget wanting to be a cowboy, fireman, or president-I wanna grow up to to be "T"!!
This looks like a wonderful motion picture. I'm glad you posted the trailer up. I will watch it soon. It looks ten times better than all that FUCKING GARBAGE made by Hollywood these days, like those Justin Long movies and those vampire "flicks". Goddamn it, I work hard all day. When I go home, or to the movies, I want to see something like Trouble Man. What I don't want to see is SHIT like Transformers. Thanks again brother.
Trouble is here. He's street-smart and steel hard. He's a healer, a fixer. Wears $600 suits, drives a $10,000 car and he carries two guns, one to stop trouble and one to make trouble. He was born in the ghetto and raised in the streets. He's been a man since he was a kid. And Trouble is this man's name!
There's no continuity. Too many lapses. Scenes that made absolutely no sense. No chemistry between actors. A very BORING lead actor. Not to mention, the writing was pure garbage. Utterly atrocious from every aspect. No wonder why the soundtrack outsold the movie. Awful writing, directing and producing. A MUST NO SEE film.
When mentioning movies of this era,This movie is never talked about.I think it is one of the better ones of that era.I put Trouble Man up there with Black Caesar,Coffy,Cleopatra Jones,Truck Turner and my personal favorite Three The Hard Way.
@tlofee Your right. It's definitely in the top 5 or 10, & the movies you mention are all the better quality films. BTW, What about Across 110th Street? Or would you consider it more on the fringe of blackploitation flicks? & what about comedy? Like, Uptown Saturday Night? And finally, like it or dislike it, you can't forget Shaft. That was the movie that STARTED blackploitation films! BTW, ever see "Black Fist"? It's bout a black street fighter? I bit cheap, but not too bad really.
@gjc82071 I will have to disagree with you brother. Shaft did not start blaxplotation.The very first blaxplotation film was Sweet Sweetback's Badasssss Song.It started Melvin Van Peebles.A classic my man.However the list you named is one of the best.I saw Uptown Saturday Night when I was a young boy on christmas day with my family
@5starwrestlingradio "Variety magazine credited Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song with the invention of the blaxploitation genre. Others argue that the Hollywood-financed film Shaft is closer to being blaxploitation, and thus is more likely to have begun the genre." We have the "chicken or the egg 1st" thing here dude. After Hollywood saw the profit potential of SSBS/films marketed towards blacks, they deliberately made Shaft to target/"exploit" the wallets of blacks. Hence "Blaxploitation".
@5starwrestlingradio Not that it should count/matter for anything, but I'm white BTW. {:oD But I like not only blaxploi films, but many late 60's thru late 70's. There's many "gritty" films. Notice how even horror, gangster/murder/crime & westerns from 50's-mid60's were more "clean/wholesome, etc" compared to 70's? Film really changed after the 1st interracial kiss/love sceem & "F bomb" was used. I like discussing film of that era/genre. Hey, U seen Tick Tick Tick (1970)? Pretty good!
@gjc82071 hmmm, i did not know that.And no your race doesnt matter at all.We're humans,color is only secondary.I love the late 60s- 70s era.You are absolutely right. Those films aided alot of movie in capturing that gritty tone and more explicit approach. I think one of my favorite films many people dont speak of as much as they should in the sense of it is an urban tragedy is Saturday Night Fever. The focus is always on the dancing by people,but its a very sad story of urban youth
@5starwrestlingradio SatNiteFevr isn't my fav, but it's 5 star (watched it last week, my 4th time). I LOVE War flix. (Dirty Dozen, Cross of Iron,Gladiator, etc) & "Mercenary" flix, Westerns from 1950's-70's (The Duke!), Sci-Fi! (Star Wars/Trek, 2001 Space Odyssey, etc) Epics/Period flix (The Duelists, Barry Lyndon), etc & Lesser known/Cult flix, (Mean Streets, Vanishing Point, Harley Davidson 442: Electra Glide in Blue, Duel), & good, gritty 70's horror "Carrie, Rosemary's Baby, The Fog", etc.
@gjc82071 I have seen & like too many movies to list here. I love film though & my taste in genres, like my music taste, though some what "refined", is extensive & wide ranging. I'm a classic/retroholic. I also LOVE classic video gaming. I'm a total addict/whore for retro games & movies. Anyway, if you ever want to discuss/compare films, etc, we could converse via our youtube inboxes too. Can leave longer messages. Perhaps we can introduce each other to good films we aren't familiar with.
@tlofee Don't forget Foxy Brown, Slaughter, The Mack, Across 110th Street, and Sweet Sweetback's Baaadasss Song, just to name a few. And Melvin Van Peebles was the Spike Lee of his day when he wrote, produced, directed, the star and financed (Sweetback) his own movie, without any help from a major studio. A little somethiing that you won't hear about or read on ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT or EXTRA.
this remind me of that film that came in 2009 black dynamite also 1 crazy blackman kicking hunkies asses and black dynamte plays in 70 as-well they also use the same slang like can u dig-it
rofl!!! how many black cliches can they fit into a short trailer? i feel like i am turning into huggy bear just watching this. and i am white, LOL!!!!!!!!!
@055697 The guy narrating the Trailer is the key, can't remember his name. I just know he died years ago and played in Soldier's Story (think he won an Oscar for it?) and was also the narrator for those Old "Negro College Fund" Commercials I remember as a kid.
He narrates quite a few other "Blaxploitation Flicks. He makes the Trailer BETTER than the movies usually. I like his better than the more Famous Guy that does Trailers?
@MarkAntney You're referring to the late Adolph Caesar. He died back in 1985 and he did a lot of voiceovers for movies and those United Negro College Fund commercials. Unfortunately, he did not win the Oscar for his brilliant performance as Sgt. Walters in "A Soldier's Story". That went to the late Haing Ngor for "The Killing Fields".
@willardlockejr Man, are you on POINT!!! And I thought I knew Trivia. He played in one of Bruce Lee's last flicks (can't remember the name of it?) or it was Lee's very last flick and they pieced it together because he died before it was finished?? Boy was he good in Soldier's Story. As great as all the actors were in it, he made the movie.
@MarkAntney I believe it was "Game of Death". That also featured Kareem Abdull-Jabbar. Lee died before the movie was finished so the producers really cut and spliced many scenes that featured the REAL Bruce Lee and several actors them resembled Lee. The result was a mixed bag, at best. Bruce Lee trained not only Kareem, but also Lee Marvin and Bob Barker (of "The Price Is Right" fame), just to name a few. Adolph Caesar was excellent in "A Soldier's Story". And yes, He made the movie!!
@MarkAntney You're referring to the more famous guy as the late Don LaFontaine. And Adolph had a very distinct voice that while you may not had known his name, you certainly knew "that voice".
beware the dvd. it doesn't use the original marvin gaye soundtrack due to legal issues with universal records. it's similar but not the real deal. just an fyi.
Badazz Ivan Dixon film. But don't call it blaxploitation. Just 'cause a black man was kickin' ass, don't make it exploitation.
I know the term "blaxploitation" is the general nomenclature for the genre, but it was coined by political forces opposed to what they saw as negative stereotypes. But in this case, he's fighting for good, so why is it exploitative? I don't know. It's easy to write the whole thing off, but there were actually some good films then.

Hey Everyone, I know a torrent site where you can download most of the Blaxploitation films !! Send me a PM and label the header "Blaxploitation" if your interested, can youuuuuu DIGGITT!!!!!
Some of you motha fuckas keep forgetting that this is 1972 that we're talking about. A 10 thousand dollar car was big back then. Dumb ass motha fuckas lol
Yeah, thanks man. I was just comparing it to what it would be like today. $10k wasn't pocket change back in those days. And that was a nice, classy car like the Caddy would be.
I finally saw it last week on Fox Movie Channel. The trailer tells the whole pic but the lines are cool!! I'm 31 and I want to be Mr. T when I grow up, lol!!
There was Trouble then, and there's Trouble now! This movie brings me back to the day..I hope they remake this one too! These classic blaxploitation films reveal the trouble "poor" people suffer "out there" at the hands of those who "exploit" them for their own gain. I bought the Trouble Man soundtrack in 1972 and was grooving at the time,
The film along with the numerous "Blaxploitation" (excuse) terminology - was so underrated, AND then the music from the man - along with Curtis so sharp and adept with lyrics!
I was surprised how well this movie was made. This movie could be described as a black James Bomd, but infinitely better. I love this movie so much, I make my friends call me "T"
my grandpop was like this was the baddest blaxploitation film he's ever seen lol

This movie kicks total ass. Robert Hooks is the man. I was just watching Passenger 57 and when Hooks showed up I was like "No way! Mr. T!!!"

Actually I was wrong...the thing is, Marvin recorded two versions: the actual soundtrack, and the LP version.
So go ahead, buy it :)

There was Trouble then, and there's Trouble now! This movie brings me back to the day..I hope they remake this one too! These classic blaxploitation films reveal the trouble "poor" people suffer "out there" at the hands of those who "exploit" them for their own gain. I bought the Trouble Man soundtrack in 1972 and was grooving at the time,
cynjoce 3 years ago
The film along with the numerous "Blaxploitation" (excuse) terminology - was so underrated, AND then the music from the man - along with Curtis so sharp and adept with lyrics!
GREAT, GREAT Soundtrack!!
