Black Rage is a Blaxploitation movie. Actually, the title is Catch The Black Sunshine, but that title wasn't as catchy, so it was reissued under the more exploitative movie title Black Rage, even though neither of the main characters are particularly enraged. The movie is about two brothers, both slaves, who escape from Striker, their cruel slave master (Ted Cassidy), to freedom while searching for buried treasure. The angrier of the duo is an "albino" black man named Sunshine played by a white actor named Chris Robinson who also wrote and directed the movie. This is just one of many criticisms directed toward this movie that have led to its reputation as one of the worst movies ever made. Other gripes people have with the movie are the generally bad acting, poor writing and slow pacing. Plot holes include the fact that the "albino" Sunshine repeatedly identifies as a slave, even though his complexion would allow him to pass for a white man, which would speed up their journey significantly.Though audience and critical reaction remains universally negative, the performance of actor Ted Cassidy, who plays the villainous plantation slave master chasing after the brothers, has been singled out for praise by viewers of the movie. Cassidy is better known for playing Lurch on The Addams Family. Though Cassidy's performance is the only saving grace of the movie.After years without any way to view the movie without buying a video copy, the film was finally uploaded to YouTube in 2022. | |

Evil Sounds Deep: Striker has a very deep voice and is a particularly cruel slave master. | |

Just Eat Gilligan: Sunshine could have passed for white and pretended his brother was his slave much earlier. | |

| Black Rage / int_3a88a563 | comment |
Vocal Dissonance: Sunshine sounds like a white man who had a privileged education. His brother Levi sounds more like the black man in bondage he is supposed to be. They're supposed to both be black brothers. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Black Rage / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The movie's been frequently watched only because of its So Bad, It's Good VHS cover, which depicts a Scary Black Man menacing a white guy. Both of them are models and are not actually in the movie. In fact, the "raging" black guy in the movie is an "albino" played by a white actor. | |

| Black Rage / int_d794962b | comment |
Public Domain Feature Films: The film failed to display a proper copyright notice upon release and lapsed into the public domain. But unlike other public domain features, this one never saw a home media re-release and bootlegs are rather hard to come by. | |

White Like Me: Very late in the movie, Sunshine tells a white woman that he is white so she could let him and his brother into her house. | |
