It always fascinated me how the Hollywood rebels and nonconformists always rebel in the same way. The same people are always the villains and the same groups are always the good guys, although now that I think about it, I don't recall the Black guys saving the day in this one.
Have to admit tho, it really was funny.
It may be a matter of degree, but there's no way anyone could get that movie made today. Too many un-PC scenes; it would be too much for the delicate sensibilities of the 21st-century theater audience to deal with (remember when the parade fell apart and the black and white hands on the "racial unity" float pulled apart?).
Quick... what was the hood ornament of the "Deathmobile"?
