If you have a point to make speak ...@ gravymeister<br /><br />If you have a point to make speak up Apparently you know more than Jim Brown does about the film. <br /><br />Blaxploitation:<br /><br />"The pivotal point of this genre is that the main character's most significant attribute is the color of his (or her) skin, as well as stereotypical attributes associated with it at the time, such as intimidating appearance, being "naturally predisposed" towards independence, lack of respect for authority, utter disregard of manners and formalism, preference for violent solutions over diplomacy and unquestionable badassery."<br /><br />Brown's U.S. Marshall Lyedecker character represents authority. He wants to return Reynolds character back to jail in order to keep his job. He is also not the main character as he is third billed. In fact, the film is anti "Blaxploitation" and as the article below states, it marked the end of Brown's Hollywood stardom and the last major production deal he signed. <br /><br />http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/41342280?sid=21105613134321&uid=70&uid=3739552&uid=2&uid=3739256&uid=4&uid=2129cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12472612909567425204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-14595448353777955832015-03-11T12:50:25.800-04:002015-03-11T12:50:25.800-04:00@ Greg,
