- DirectorRichard FleischerStarsJames MasonSusan GeorgePerry KingAn 1840s slaveowner trains one of his slaves to be a bare-knuckle fighter.Unless you are a fan of Ken Norton, there is no reason to see this. Absolutely forgettable.
- DirectorMichael SchultzStarsDarren RobinsonDamon WimbleyMark MoralesThree bumbling orderlies are hired to take care of an old rich man. Humorous mayhem follows.The Fat Boys attempt at slapstick comedy. This movie stinks.
- DirectorMelvin Van PeeblesStarsMelvin Van PeeblesHubert ScalesJohn DullaghanAfter saving a Black Panther from some racist cops, a black male prostitute goes on the run from "the man" with the help of the ghetto community and some disillusioned Hells Angels.Even though many see this film as "important", I could never get into it.
- DirectorLouis C.K.StarsChris RockLance CroutherJ.B. Smoove"The Man" is baffled by a chill hero's invincible weapon: gibberish.Delete.

- DirectorJessy TerreroStarsDwayne AdwaySnoop DoggTom ArnoldThings get raucously funny aboard the maiden flight of a black-owned airline, thanks to some last-minute passenger additions.Possibly the worst Black movie of all time.
