MVP always danced to his own drummer- his films, television work and audio recordings couldn't ever be mistaken for anyone's else.
This is a good example of how blaxploitation wasn't just the stereotypical "screwing the Man" narrative- 1970s Black films also encompass such sub-genres as the Western (as you showed earlier), the romantic comedy ("Claudine"), the generational conflict family drama ("Five On The Black Hand Side") and various unclassifiable oddities ("Car Wash", "Which Way Is Up?")
Definitely! As much as I like the crime pictures, I'm enjoying exploring different subgenres and getting a full picture of the types of stories being told at the time.
