@sheltv...I think black folks need to focus more on the positive achievements of blacks in the nation in which they live (U.S.?) and plan to reside. Achievements in Africa make for great feel-good moments, but broken homes, plummeting test scores, high drop out rates, and rising crime in black America begs for leadership from within. And Africa is a continent of poverty, war, and famine and not a place to emulate.
@CategorycinqueThe world came back with TRILLIONS in rebuild money! For Europe & Germany, China, Japan, Israel, Russia and others! These countries had been ravaged for about (5 yrs) during WW2. Africa had been Savaged" for (5) CENTURIES.----(5) CENTURIES. You know what Churchill did when they had to leave an African Nation after the war. Plowed up all the ROADWAYS! To Start! Scorched Earth policy! To ADD to the 500 yrs. Most Native Americans were destroyed while AFRICANS survived!
Madam Sonophis, the lady that said HAPPINESS, starred on PBS ELECTRIC COMPANY, along with Easy Reader MORGAN FREEMAN! During the 70s when there were 3 TV channels & they went OFF at Midnight! I use to criticize fellow workers for their spelling ability! Cable Came, ELEC CO, & SESSAME ST, went away and all of a sudden I TOO couldn't spell (4) letter words!
@jor99912 We had more than 3 channels. There were 7. They all didn't go off at midnihjt. There was always a movie to watch after THE TONIGHT SHOW on ch 7
@gayle2020 BIG SHOT: In Hillbilly LOU KY, We had channels 4,11, and 41. Now i.m talking with these movies. Early 70s. Decade is a long time. We may have had 7 by the late 70s. OF course we had ch 15. daytime with SESSAME ST, & Electric Company with MORGAN FREEMAN. And later ch 68. But they were mainly educational, 90% of the Hillbillies didn't know they existed!
Actually by the late 70s, Cable was starting to build out. Few had it. But that's nearly 100 channels.
This has SUCH an authentic feel to it...probably just because it was from an authentic time and when Bill Cosby was becoming more and more legendary every year (and of course Poitier was awesome).
Bill Cosby, Sidney Poitier, Calvin Lochart, and I did not know that the little guy was Harry Belefonte. Classic and all legends in there own right, oh and dont leave out the funny Flip Wilson.
Cosby is cool now considering your entertainment choices. The only black shows on TV today are meet the Browns, House of Payne and the Cleveland Show. Much props to Bill Cosby.
@aboverim How about the more educational black shows. On CNN International they have African Voices and Inside Africa. Two programs that focus on the achievements of people from different African countries and the positive sides of economic growth and business in Africa. One of these shows is hosted by Isha Sesay.
If anybody say's that Denzel is over-rated don't know what they're talkin about. His acting ability is off the charts. He can act in just about any kind of movie. I would rate him amongst the greatest actors of all time. Yes!! I said that. How can you go from winning an Oscar in Training Day where he played a corrupt cop to John Q where he plays a distraught father? Totally two different charachters but played it perfeclty. I guarantee another Oscar is coming up for him soon!!!
Bill is still cool, a man ahead of his time and a trailblazer for many who came afterwards! The same can be said for Sidney, this movie is a classic! This made me want to see the whole movie again! Thanks for posting!
Damn...this is what it's come to. Hollywood--just like the music industry--has run out of ideas. Folks are up here getting excited about a REMAKE of a classic. These are the same people that hear a classic song and say, "Yo, we should do this over" or "Yo, we should sample this." Why do things have to be done over? Whatever happened to being INSPIRED by the classics to create something NEW?
Well, that's the RUMOR that's been circulating for the last couple of years. Supposedly, Will Smith bought the rights to the "prospective" project. Hopefully, it'll never come to fruition. I'm really tired of seeing Hollywood re-hashing classic movies, remaking others, and "re-imagining" classic TV shows. It's been going on for TOO LONG, and it's time for some new ideas.
scuse me man, Bill Cosby has done more in his lifetime in his 71 years of life than you've done in what, your 22 years?! you need to show DR. Cosby a little respect! YOU DIG?
Here's my made up cast for a possible remake: Derek Luke - Steve Jackson Wood Harris - Wardell Franklin Regina King - Steve's wife Dave Chappelle - Sharp Eye Washington Blair Underwood - Silky Slim Katt Williams - The Reverend Terrance Howard - Geechie Dan Beauford Denzel Washington - Congressman Lincoln Sean Patrick Thomas and Tyrese Gibson - Silky Slim's Henchmen Alicia Keys - Leggy Peggy
True, but then again, who's to say there ever will be a remake of Uptown Saturday Night anytime soon? Why do you make it sound like a crime that I envisioned who I'd want to be in the remake? Sheesh!
Thanks, some people have no respect for classic films such as this. Otherwise, they wouldn't be hating on those who'd be interested in seeing a remake.
You mention what my best friend does, iluvmyboba, in that he thinks so as well (hehe).
To him, Cosby was at his best during the time period of movies such as this and Let's Do it Again. It's similar to how Eddie Murphy's rep seems better to remember from the time of 48 Hours & other films of his '80s run. Now, however, all that Ed does takes flack in comparison to that which once was. It all involves simply a preference for styles, I guess, like what we see when music changes.
they should get martin lawrence and will smith to do this and dave chapelle to do richard pryor part,chris tucker to do flip part,charlie murphy to harry part, and terrance howard to do calvin part!!!!!this big!!!!!2009 shit!!!!
I don't think Lawrence and Smith would be able to pull it off because their characters in Bad Boys weren't the same as Portier's and Cosby's in the film trailer above. Chappelle could do Pryor's role, but I'd want an actor with a less than high pitched voice to play The Reverend.
martim lawrence and will smith should do this over!!!!dave chapelle show play richard pryor part,charlie murphy got harry part,terrance howord got calvin part
I am not black and yet I still KNOW that this movie could NEVER EVER be remade with the same comedy and feel as this one. Today's black comedy movies can't compare at all to this. My abosolute favorite along with "Let's do it again", "Greased Lightning" and "Which Way is Up?"
In 2002, it was announced that Will Smith and his production company, Overbrook Entertainment, had secured the rights to the trilogy for remakes to star Smith and to be distributed by Warner Bros. Smith stated that he hoped to get Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence and other famous African-American stars to be in the films.
I forgot about Flip Wilson's classic turn as the Preacher! "Loose lips sink ships. And the looser the lips are, the faster the ship sink. We got some people out the who done sunk aircraft carriers!"
This movie is such a riot and a fun ride. I loved it and I'm so proud of Sidney Poitier's work and effort directing and producing different works. There also some outtakes from Uptown Saturday Night in the scene with Richard Pryor who makes Sydney Poitier and Bill Cosby laugh so hard they have to do multiple takes. It's so hysterically funny as I remember. If anyone gets their hand on it please UPLOAD it! My Sidney favs also r nice movies such as For Love of Ivy, A Warm December and others.
(Cliff Huxtable)See kids, I was the PIMP, P-I-M-P back in the 70's..back before the RAP MUSIC gave kids the BRAIN DAMAGE..and I was coolin with that foxy chick I was on "The Electric Company" with, man..I had enough bread to buy me ALL the Jello puddin' in the world, man! you DIG?
Saw the first-run of this movie. I wasn't much for the "black-white" of the era, so I can't comment on that with any degree of expertise. I can say, though, that this movie was great! Cosby (all-time favorite), Poitier (slightly before my time) were beyond remarkable. Pryor was the man-of-the-day, and we were dissapointed at how small his part was, but he made it memorable. "Sharp-eye" Washington! Lockhart was a newcomer to me, but his deep, gravelly voice was one for the ages!
Yeah Bill Cosby might have been cooler, but everybody ages, and usually cool goes out the door. Bill just wants to see black people do better. Hate on him all you want, but tv wouldn't be the same if it weren't for him. Think about I Spy, Fat Albert, and The Cosby Show. Try understanding where he's coming from, where it seems his hard work, and countless others, is being thrown out the window. TV ain't nothing but reality shows and music videos. And this is coming from a 19 year old.
I prefer Wardell Franklin over Cliff Huxtable, but like you quoted Bill, I want to see blacks do a WHOLE lot better myself. Bill was raw and street in this movie without even cursing.
@hellokittycutie2003 I was just like you when I was 19. The quality of television in these days was better than the crap we have today. When I was your age I used to watch reruns of the Lawrence Welk Show, Sanford and Son, and Star Trek (original).
The Martin episode "Club Shizznitt" was based on this. Look at how fine Madam Zenobia is and the woman that played Bill Cosby's wife and look at how fine Rosaline Cash is. Women today pay money to look that fine. And the cute woman that was with Silky slim. I mean just fine!!
The Flip Wilson preaching scene was hi-larious!!! When he talks about loose lips sinkin ships I lose it, lol. Yes Calvin Lockhart was fine in this. I have the dvd, I think I'll watch it tomorrow:)
I think it was either pancreatic or prostrate cancer. This was this shit back in the day. Going to the McVickers theater. For $1.75 watching Uptown Sat. Nite, Cooley High & Cornbread Earl and Me. Or Enter the Dragon playing with Truck Turner. God take me back.
Yep and that was the cheap theater. The other movie theaters around at that time in downtown Chicago (The Woods, State & Lake, Chicago, United Artists and the Michael Todd) would hit you for about $5 for a double feature. The Oriental and McVickers cost $1.75for 3 movies and you could sit all day and watch them as long as you wanted to.
Rumor was a few years ago that Will Smith was trying to do a remake. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have Will and Martin Lawrence in it. If it happens I would love to Sidney and Bill do a cameo.
