In my film, the black audience finally gets a chance to see some of their own fantasies acted out... rising out of the mud and kicking ass.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song is the story of a young hustler (Van Peebles) whose aimless pleasure-seeking turns to radicalism after witnessing the beating of a black revolutionary by two white cops. Sweetback, driven to a state of blind rage, takes brutal revenge on the cops, forcing him into a desperate life on the run.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite a humble opening at only two theaters followed by a torrent of negative reviews, Sweetback mushroomed to $10,000,000 at the box office, landing it on Daily Variety's list of top-grossing independent films. It has also been widely credited as the film that kicked off the so-called 'Blaxploitation' film movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA film of Melvin Van Peebles • Starring the Black Community\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigitally Remastered Audio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis film has not been rated by the Motion Picture Association of America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Features:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll-new making-of by Melvin Van Peebles — 'The Real Deal (What It Was...Is)!'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemastered in Dolby Digital 5.1\/Stereo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilmography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Selection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Theatrical Trailer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComing Attractions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTagline: YOU BLED MY MOMMA - YOU BLED MY POPPA - BUT YOU WON'T BLEED ME\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Xenon Pictures","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51322507526422,"sku":"128293","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2026213154316272scan.jpg?v=1779086147","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/sweet-sweetbacks-baadasssss-song-30th-anniversary-special-original-uncut","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
