UNDERCOVER BROTHER trailer... a new one

Published at:  Apr 05, 2002 4:29:59 AM CST

What up, Harry here with the trailer that gets me giddy most, that is the UNDERCOVER BROTHER trailer. I love Blaxploitation films and this trailer is honestly many times more funny and cool than any of the AUSTIN POWERS 3 trailers. Eddie Griffin seems to really be playing it straight... He is a super-afro hero. And the super powers seem to be great. With Billy Dee and James Brown aboard... Hell, I'm in the theater already! I can't wait to check out the opening titles on this one. Here's the latest trailer, even crazier than the last. Here ya go....

    TWO WORDS BABY: LANDO CALRISSIAN!!!! Man come on! Just work in a few bloody lines. "This deal just keeps getting worse all the time". "Come on Han old buddy! Don't let me down!". Yeah I'm a geek. So what?

    Forget Billy Dee, we need to see James Brown...

    as Lando. Godfather of Soul Cloud City, Hardest Workin' man in the Galaxy. "This is a Droid's, Droid's world" "Get on the scene (Like one of Vader's sex machines)" Star Wars needs the soul to wipe out crass stereotypes like Jar Jar.

    Dude, this movie looks hilarious, and I'm not being biased j

    by terry_1978

    This thing does kind of look like the black version of the Austin Powers franchise. The jokes concerning fascination with white girls seriously cracked me up, as did the "blackness confirmed" password thing. I gotta check this out as soon as possible.

    I've seen it; it's even funnier than the trailer makes i

    by carson dyle

    The film absolutely delivers on the "black Austin Powers" promise -- only the screenplay is funnier and much more clever than anything Mike Meyers and Co. have come up with. Universal's lucky streak continues; "Undercover Brother" is a billion doller franchise waiting to happen -- and all you Billy D. fans will be happy to know he is featured in a prominant, Colin Powell-esque role.

    I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, that movie ruled

    by otis von zipper

    As did Hollywood Shuffle. So many great riffs on black cinema, hell on movies period. Remember the 2 guys doing Siskel and Ebert reviewing movies like "Dirty Larry" and "Attack of the Street Pimps". "Make my day. Do 50 bullets in your ass make your day?" Funny stuff.

    Who the fuck is Ryan Eure and why is he SPAMMING me?

    by det. john kimble

    HEY HARRY. Maybe you should have a 'hide email address' option since SPAM assholes are starting to troll the talkbacks for email addresses. ___________________ Also, this movie looks about a million times better than 'Pootie Tang.'

    Great timing for this movie, what with Denzel, Halle, and (Love,)Sidney getting oscars.

    Point of interest (or not)

    by hktelemacher

    John Ridley didn't write Three Kings, David O. Russell did from John Ridley's concept. John Ridley, while a great novelist, is a mediocre screenwriter. Oliver Stone rewrote U-Turn and his directorial debut Cold Around the Heart was nothing special. For television, Ridley wrote for The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Third Watch, so it's kind of hit and miss. The Undercover Brother animated shorts written by Ridley on urbanentertainment.com were pretty decent. Ridley has a really twisted sense of humor and his sophomore novel Love is a Racket is, in my opinion, the crown jewel of 90s post-modern noir.

    Undercover Brother will kick the shit ouuta' Austin's British ass!

    Reply to Talkback

  • I mean, "3 Kings" came out 3 years ago and he hasn't been heard from since. And all of the other noteworthy 1999 filmmakers have films coming out soon. It's just something I find curious (and suspicious).

    Did anyone else see the Flash animation shorts of Undercover Brother on the old Urban Entertainment website? They were funny as hell! If this movie is half as funny, it will be a hit!

    Can't you hear the pitch being made...

    by wato

    for this crap? Picture a bunch of balding white men with tanning bed tans and a wisp of white hair hanging down their back that they call a ponytail. "Hey Bob...let's do lunch..I'll drive...you can check out my new Excursion..By the way Bob..I have a great idea..How about a BLACK Austin Powers? Genius right? I know..I know." If I can actually hear the pitch while I'm watching the trailer, I probably won't go see the film.

    Eddie Griffin Was never That Interesting to Me, But He Looks....

    by the founder

    to be decent in this, probably because someone else will direct him properly. Eddie Griffin was never a funny comedian, and how in the hell he's lasted in show biz is beyond me. I agree with who ever said that Dave Chapelle deserves better, infact it should be him in the lead, but I sure eddie will pull it off nicly. Hopefully this will be Eddie's big break, and as long as he lets a talented director and screenwriter guide him in films, he should be ok, so long as he never attempts any manner of creative input what so ever if he becomes a success.

    by boskodude

    Now let me think...was it Confucious who once said....or was it Gomer Pyle? "Oh what tangled webs we weave...when first we practice to decieve".
    Actually, this is simply a P.S. to a previous post. Regarding the Asian "done us wrong" comments...I almost forgot to include...what about the Asian dudes who beat the living fuck out of the mechanic in the garage and then pinned him down on the floor as one of them piped motor oil down his throat? And one other Asian teensie weensie boo - boo...what happened out in front of the Asian place in the movie with all the really nice sculptures and what did they do to the FBI dude's really nice car? Does anyone remember this part? Or has everyone slept since then?
    Simply trying to point something out here. Those "Rice-Burner" motorcycle jocks look like a Monkey fuckin a football by the way.
