1970s blaxploitation films: a lot has changed, but much has stayed the same

[snopes]

Say what you will about the roughly 150 black action, horror and comedy films that came out between 1971 and 1976, the height of the blaxploitation era: that they were cheaply made, poorly acted, hyper-violent and glorified pimps, prostitutes, criminals and con men -- all those things are true, to a certain extent. But they were also utterly empowering, gobbled up by African American audiences desperate for strong, and recognizable, working-class heroes.

My sister and I wrote a parody of blaxploitation films called Dental Man, starring the dentist Doctor D. (It started from a one off line in a review saying you'll never see a blaxploitation film about a dentist.) He tries to treat the characters of those movies, but bad guys keep coming in to shoot them. At the end he gives the bad guys all unnecessary root canals.
