Recently, Brian has been celebrating Black History Month with an impromptu mini-marathon of blaxploitation movies. Two of his favorite entries in the marathon have been Truck Turner (1974) and Foxy Brown (1974). Each movie was a huge hit, and they frequently appeared together as a double feature:
Truck Turner: He's a skip tracer, the last of the bounty hunters.
Foxy Brown: She's the meanest chick in town.
Both Truck Turner and Foxy Brown were capable of headlining their own double- or triple-feature. I especially like this Truck Turner tagline: If you jump bail ...you're Truck Turner's meat ...Cold Cuts! What does that even mean?
Here's another theater that ran a Truck Turner/Foxy Brown double feature. But the crazy thing is... it arguably just barely makes the top 3 double features at this theater. Can you believe that theaters used to show stuff like Texas Chainsaw Massacre/Return of the Dragon and Green Hornet/Ali-Foreman? Incredible. For people who are interested, this theater was in Oakland, California in December 1974. |
