    I recall one of my sister's old boyfriends, who was gifted in mathematics, taking an exam for the Fire department. HeΒ THOUGHT that he did well on theΒ exam, but a problem occurred in the psychological portion of the exam, that ultimately excluded him from becoming a fireman. Today, he is an independent CPA, doing extremely well. In hindsight, he knows that the exam was biased, etc. but he became a success nonetheless. I am very happy that he ended up OWNING his business as opposed to WORKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

    Saw this movie when I was a kid. It's top notch and Richard Rountree proved himself again as all around great dramatic actor!
  • One Richard Roundtree's Finest Performance, Other Than Shaft ! R.I.P. Soul Brother You'll Be Remembered Always ! Long Live Shaft !

    Rest In Peace Mr Richard Roundtree.
  • See how the dudes treated him cause he had a good job & not hanging out. That's what's keep a lot of brothers down trying to please their friends
  • One of my friends became a firefighter. He said he wanted that since childhood. I have nothing but respect for him. I never would go into a burning house or building.

    The struggle is real. The struggle continues. We need to own our businesses, so we can create jobs, opportunities, and training for our own. When we try to build our own communities they are destroyed like Greenwood , OK. or Rosewood FL. (and so many others)We are forced to pay taxes, pay utilities, and rely on the dominant community; which uses our reliance to control us. We dare not speak of it, or we are harassed. (or worse). We don't even control our own media, so we can control our own narratives, and images. I appreciate what this channel does to bring lost movies to our community. We are currently being locked out. The entertainment produced now is trash. At least the blaxploitation films of the 70's revealed some of the struggle , and opened dialogue. Now everything is masked, and people think we live in a "post racial" society. (whatever that means)

    This was a great story, my dad was a πŸ‘¨πŸΎβ€πŸš’, fire captain for the town of Cary! I know art imitates life and vice versa!

    Quick factoid: the opening electronic music is by TONTO’s Expanding Headband. TONTO, of course, is the giant synthesizer system Stevie Wonder used throughout his classic period, and is still functional over 50 years after it was built.

    My brother and I were just talking about Sheila Frazier the other night and he was saying what a huge crush he had on her because she was so beautiful! I, on the other hand, thought the same about Richard Roundtree. :). Thanks for showing movies I never knew existed. I will share all of them with my brother.
  • super movie. never expected it to be that good. wish we had more good guys like that.
