Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEddie Murphy came up with the original idea and the title for the film during a conversation with Keenen Ivory Wayans. Wayans asked Murphy's permission to use the idea.
- GoofsIncorrectly regarded as a goof: During the diner fistfight where Mrs Spade (Ma Bell) fights Mr Big's two goons, Ma Bell occasionally turns into a mustachioed Caucasian stuntman between action scenes. This is a deliberate act and not a mistake (showing the tackiness of old Blaxploitation movies).

Written by Norman Whitfield & William Bryant II
Produced by Charles Kent Wilson & Ronnie J. Wilson
Performed by The Gap Band
A flat out funny film from Keenan Ivory Wayans. Not only did this film jump start all of these older actors careers, but it was popular enough to warrant a series pilot (a t.v. remake of this film called Slade, Hammer and Slammer) and it helped the Wayans create another show for Fox called In Living Color. The rest is history.
Highly recommended.
