Trivia
Eddie 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.

Goofs
Incorrectly 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).

9/10

one of the most funniest black plortation films

I can remember when I was young and I watch this movie. It was a very funny film, but after a couple years later is when really watched this movie and really understood it. Thats when I really enjoyed it. the Wayans brothers scary movies of today didn't have anything on there older brother movie back then. Issac Hays & Jim Brown were really funny as Hammer & Slammer. flyguy, kung fu joe and the rest of the caracters in the film will keep you laughing. I rate this movie a 10/10 and it will always be on of my favorite black plortation films.
