| The Guy from Harlem | comment |
Dubbed by Grindhouse Cinema Database as Blaxploitation's Plan 9 from Outer Space, The Guy from Harlem is an outsider art "masterpiece."The year is 1976. Al Connors is a streetwise detective from Harlem, currently working in Miami. The CIA hires him to protect an African VIP from potential assassins. He completes the assignment so skilfully that he draws the attention of a gangster named Harry De Bauld. His daughter Wanda has been kidnapped by a rival gangster, and his own gang is too emotionally shaken to attempt a rescue. Al Connors draws on all his Harlem skills to locate Wanda and bring her back alive.Along the way, he does battle with stilted dialogue, repetitive storytelling, poor production values, choppy editing, goofy fight choreography, incessant flubbed lines, and a pervasive school-play-esque awkwardness that hilariously undermines every attempt at coolness or badassery. But just as Al inevitably triumphs, so the film's many limitations freebase into a glittering crystal of So Bad, It's Good. | |

Artistic License – Gun Safety | |
| The Guy from Harlem / int_10134c97 | comment |
Artistic License – Gun Safety: The Mook watching Wanda pulls a revolver out of his waistband, spins the cylinder, pretends to shoot Wanda twice, and then sticks it back in his waistband. All with his finger on the trigger. note Considering the amateur nature of this film, it's possible the actor was just goofing off while waiting for the scene to start (he even trades a smile with Wanda while pointing the gun at her), and had no idea that his antics would appear in the end product. | |

All Men Are Perverts: Every other man wants to ravish the nearest female, including the protagonist. After all, they are in a Blaxploitation movie, which means that every woman, especially every black woman, is utterly irresistible. | |

Title Drop | |
| The Guy from Harlem / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: David McLeod addresses Al as "the guy from Harlem". This is peculiar, because McLeod is also established to be a guy from Harlem. Al refers to himself as "The Guy from Harlem" as well. He could have been "The Man from Harlem," or "The Dude from Harlem," or "The Brother from Harlem," or even (given the era) "The Cat from Harlem," but no, he's just The Guy... which, given the level of overall badassness he displays in the film, almost makes this a case of Exactly What It Says on the Tin. | |

In Medias Res: The first scene opens with Wanda already kidnapped. As the Rifftrax points out, the scene seems to just appear out of nowhere, with no setup. They claim it begins "mid-sentence," which isn't much of an exaggeration. | |

Hammerspace: Harry De Bauld is shown to have entrusted his son with a bag containing half a million dollars in cocaine and a manila folder with $250,000 in cash the first time they visit Al, while he himself brought along a headshot of his daughter and an envelope containing $5,000, just in case Al asked about pay up front... and all of it is carried in their inside jacket pockets. The Rifftrax lampshades this heavily. | |

Seinfeldian Conversation: Unintentionally. Al's conversation with the wife of an African President is meant to explain things like why Al's called The Guy From Harlem, why an African has an American accent, and set up later plot points. But it's all very ham-handed, and most of the "explanations" are really Handwaves, making the whole thing feel like pointless Padding. | |

Where da White Women At?: The film both plays it straight and inverts it — as befitting a blaxploitation film. Not long after in the film, his boss gives him a What the Hell, Hero? — and his response? "She was looking kinda horny." However, Al's relationship with his white girlfriend doesn't really qualify. | |

Excuse Plot: The entire subplot about the protection of an African dignitary's wife has zero effect on the plot, and exists just to give Al an age-appropriate woman to have sex with. It doesn't even achieve softcore status, however, making the entire subplot moot even as an excuse plot. | |

It's an Actor Allusion; as Miami comedian Steve Gallon note better known at the time as Wildman Steve, a radio DJ, MC, and filthy nightclub / "party record" comic was hired for his very boisterous, lively stage presence. Rene Martinez, Jr. even liked him enough to give Gallon a starring role in his next film. | |

Artistic License – Law: Al is hired by the CIA to protect the wife of an African head of state. For one thing, the CIA doesn't operate within the United States because that would be treading on the FBI's turf (but maybe that's why the CIA has to subcontract to a Guy from Harlem). For another, the FBI wouldn't be involved either, because protecting the family members of visiting dignitaries is one of the jobs of the State Department. | |

There Are No Therapists, 1970's style: A few hours earlier, Wanda was tied to a chair and nearly raped. Naturally, Al gives her liquor, fondles her backside, and has sex with her. | |

Karma Houdini: Harry De Bauld is a drug-dealing mobster, but everything works out for him. By the end of the film, his daughter has been rescued and his competitor eliminated. Because it's never directly established that they're in an open relationship, we have to assume Al openly cheats on his girlfriend Jo Ann and even has sex with two different women on her bed before she dumps him. It's especially notable that one of said women he cheats with was recently threatened with rape, yet he has no issue boozing her up and porking her. | |

Halfway Plot Switch: For the first half-hour, Al protects Mrs. Ashanti from assassins. The rest of the film is a separate story about Al rescuing Wanda De Bauld from kidnappers. The opening scene does have the racist mook inform Wanda that they're also going to kidnap an African dignitary's wife. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| The Guy from Harlem / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: Most of Big Daddy's schemes. Kidnapping Wanda De Bauld has at least some strategic value, given that Big Daddy is using her to try and force his rival Harry out of business. But then his gang does an agreed-upon coke deal with Harry, allowing Al to shadow them and rescue her. Meanwhile, attempting to abduct / kill Mrs. Ashanti seems to have no goal whatsoever. Even if they'd pulled it off, it would've only gotten the CIA on the gang's tail. And that's not even accounting for what should be a major diplomatic incident with a sovereign nation and the US. And having the leader's spouse be a former US citizen. He even challenges Al to a showdown at a predetermined time and place, which leads to Harry's men swarming and overpowering his own. And that's not even getting into the people that make up his organization... | |

Tap on the Head | |

Tap on the Head: Al's preferred strategy for putting mooks out of commission. He only shoots them as a last resort. The worst example might be the guy at the compound when he rescues the first girl; he grabs his arm and holds it to the ground, then kind of just smushes the guy's face and head into the grass. The guy is struggling, then just goes limp, but Al literally doesn't do anything like choke him out or hit him in the head to knock him out. | |

Fan Disservice On both occasions when Al is about to get funky with a chick, she changes into a frumpy ankle-length nightgown. We are treated to a lingering shot of Jim, clad only in a towel, sitting spread-legged in a sauna. To give you an idea of how physically appealing Jim is, the riffers refer to a later scene of him as the ugliest shot in film history. Al himself is not exactly in peak physical condition. His chest is reminiscent of a recently plucked turkey. | |

Informed Ability: Al Connors is considered a Memetic Badass because he just happened to have lived in upper Manhattan, but nothing in the film backs up his skills. He fights like a six year old (fortunately, so do his opponents), is constantly horny (again, so is every other male in the film), and has astoundingly bad detective skills. Really, the only reason he consistently gets the drop on the bad guys is that they're even dumber than he is. invoked | |

Incoming Ham: Harry's initial appearance has him casually stride into the office, bang on the desk of Al's secretary, and yell, "Good mornin', good-lookin'!" His return to the film is even less subtle, as he just comes from nowhere, makes a bizarre laughing sound, and bellows "WANDAAAAAAA, HOW ARE YA, BABY" as loud as he possibly can right into his daughter's face. | |

Devil in Plain Sight: After getting an astonishingly detailed description of Big Daddy (whom somehow nobody has ever seen) from Harry, Al encounters a 6'2" muscular guy with curly blond hair and bands around his wrists working out in the gym... and walks right by him. The film does not clarify the question of whether Al knew it was Big Daddy but didn't want to tip him off, was too distracted by the task at hand to look closely, or really is just a bad detective. | |

Department of Redundancy Department: There are so many scenes in which exposition or information is given, it cuts away, and then the same information is given again, as if the film editor never went back and watched the entire thing from start to finish to make sure nothing had been accidentally repeated. In particular, Al and the "wife of an African chief of state" gives her backstory to him twice, almost word for word. The worst offender is in the first scene when the kidnapped girl is demanding to know when she'll be freed, it cuts away, and then she repeats the exact same line and Jim gives her almost the exact same response. | |
