I've been blessed to meet a couple of my heroes in the blaxplotation genre. When I was managing Wild & Woolly Video. we hired Rudy Ray Moore to do some comedy shows here in Louisville as well as make a personal appearance at our store. So I was very lucky to meet him as he's passed on now.

I also got to work with Jim Kelly at Fright Night Film Fest, and I love "Black Belt Jones" and "Enter the Dragon." He was really cool and he gifted me several autographs. I feel very fortunate.

If you guys have not yet watched Black Dynamite I highly recommend it. Best Blaxploitation spoof ever. Freaking hilarious.

Not really blaxploitation but how about Action Jackson with the excellent Carl Weathers!

Carl Weathers is a cool and versatile actor. Always liked his films.

I wish they would do a cheap box set of some of the less well known ones

Watched a lot of these films at the drive-in back in the '70s! One not mentioned is "Cotton Comes To Harlem".
