When i say we forgot, I actually meant we were busy. And when I say we, I mean me.Well wait no more, it is time. Bone Daddy and the Fourth Reich is a blaxploitation film, interspersed with many, sometimes subtle, references, to the world of Matthew Brown, the director, writer, producer, actor, and omnipotent overseer. Released through IBP, Infinetely Brown Productions, it is the latest film that I have become obsessed about. The Wall is crumbling, and a giant afro is emerging from the rubble. Not only was this anticipated, after watching the the two sweet trailers, but it was also feared. Why feared you say? For fear of sitting through a movie I didn’t understand. Having not seen Bone Daddy and the Big Score, I was afraid I wouldn’t understand a thing. Whew! God bless comedy. While there were points where I was sure I missed something, I found myself enjoying a film made for people like me. I go nutters for little references to other things. This film naturally was right up my alley. Speaking of alleys, Dr. Vesuvius girating in that alley, was the perfect homo-erotic material to balance out my evening, after arriving at the premiere with 4 women, 3 of them superbly dressed like young whores, or sluts, or whatever fantasy word you like to use.

The movie itself was spectacular, even from the beginning when I asked myself, “Why don’t all credits look like that?” Throughout the movie, I also found myself playing the fun game of “Where was this shot?” or “What street is that?” In retrospect, Bone Daddy was a scrumtrilescent blur. There were the inside jokes (I’m assuming) of the Bob Ross video, Toht, whom I could not remember the name of until halfway home and the lightsaber noises (if they existed, nobody else that I asked heard them). Funky lights, women melting in hot tubs, looking at the expressions of passersby as BD and Slick Willie pick up whores, Matt Brown’s whack-a-mole like appearances (I constantly found myself going “is that.....?”), the outtakes, the credits, and the Ogo Tongo-Bone Daddy sequences, mainly the chase along the rooftops and when Bone Daddy’s riding Ogo’s long hard.......car. All I can say about this movie, is damn it’s funny. Anyone who’s seen any of the old blaxploitation flicks, like Shaft or Dolemite, will love this movie. Also, any person who has dreams of making a movie, will find Bone Daddy and the Fourth Reich an embracing inspiration.
