KEEP IT OLDSKOOL MOVIE OF THE WEEK
''

 Released 1975 Lets Do It Again was the second pairing of TV icon Bill Cosby and movie icon Sidney Poitier (the first being Uptown Saturday Night released in 1974) .  The movie which was also directed by Poitier is not really thought of as a Blaxploitation Movie (movies that were geared specifically for African Americans) The film tackled gangsters and racketeering but it was all in fun.

Loyal Members of the Brothers and Sisters of Shaka 

 The movie about two normal average everyday men Clyde and Billy from Atlanta (Poitier and Cosby) as members of the Brothers and Sisters of Shaka whose building is being foreclosed on take a drastic step to get funds for a new building.The duo with their wives in tow head down to New Orleans. Clyde and Billy plan to "fix" a prize fight. Heavy underdog Bootney Lee Farnsworth (played by Jay Z twin Jimmie Walker) is scheduled to fight 40th Street Black . Clyde and Billy decide that will hypnotize Bootney so he is assured to win and place $10,000 bets with the two warring gangsters in New Orleans Biggie Smalls (Calvin Lockhart) and Kansas City Mack (John Amos).With the bets heavy against Bootney they stand to make $100,000 They both pose as Mongo Slade from NYC 

 Billy and Clyde talk their way out of trouble

     Biggie Smalls played by Calvin Lockhart

    Beth (Billy's wife) played by Denise Nicholas tells Biggie Smalls how it is.

After being tracked down to Atlanta Clyde and Billy have to bring in the wives Dee Dee (Lee Chamberlin) and Beth (Denise Nicholas)  for a crazy scheme and even a crazier bet. This movie is loads of fun and has a special appearances from George Foreman and Ossie Davis.  After this movie the third and final movie of the Poitier/Cosby trilogy A Piece of the Action was released in 1977. You can always catch these movies on cable or broadcast television. It was announced that Will Smith and Denzel Washington have the rights to and will remake 1 or more of the trilogy movies. I do not see how you can improve on any of those movies but this is the era of remakes/reboots KEEP IT OLDSKOOL
