The term Blaxploitation refers to a film genre, quite popular in The '70s and early '80s, in which the hero or heroes are black, and they have to fight some sort of battle, engage some enemy or otherwise solve some problem in ways involving violence, intimidation, or extreme action skills. It was coined by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) when it was criticizing the genre for what it considered to be a negative image for African-Americans. The pivotal point of this genre is that the main character's most significant attribute is the color of his (or her) skin, as well as stereotypical attributes associated with it at the time, such as intimidating appearance, being "naturally predisposed" towards independence, lack of respect for authority, utter disregard of manners and formalism, preference for violent solutions over diplomacy and unquestionable badassery. Typically the main character is a good guy such as the title character in Shaft, but in some cases, he or she is an Anti-Hero, such as Priest, the drug dealer in SuperFly who wants to do one more deal and retire. |

The Hebrew Hammer lovingly borrows many of the tropes seen in these films and throws them in a pot with literally every Jewish stereotype ever to serve up the first ever "Jewsploitation" film. In it, our titular hero, a "Certified circumcised dick," is out to stop Santa Claus's evil, antisemitic son from destroying Hanukkah. Accompanying him is his Token Black Friend, Muhammed Ali Paula Abdul Raheem, of the Kwanzaa Liberation Front who more or less acts as an excuse to play blaxploitation tropes comically straight. | |

Mafia III is out and proud about trying to replicate the feel of old Blaxploitation flicks. Against the backdrop of the civil rights movement, you play a black Vietnam veteran out to avenge the death of his family at the Mob's hands (and the Mob's subsequent saturation of his home neighborhood with heroin). On the way, you get to take down The Klan, evil hillbillies, and many an Angry White Man. The "Faster, Baby!" DLC is even more so, with an Afro Asskicker helping you take down a corrupt racist sheriff. | |

Black Caesar: Tommy Gibbs, a shoeshine kid in Harlem, becomes a mob runner. On one of his jobs he's beaten severely by a corrupt, racist cop and his leg is shattered, leaving him mildly crippled. Gibbs is then sent to jail for assaulting a police officer. After leaving prison, he assassinates a Mafia target and leverages that favor into a deal allowing him to control a section of Harlem. They managed to get none other than James Brown himself to do the soundtrack! | |

Shaft: A black private detective in New York City has to find the kidnappers of the daughter of a negro crime boss; based off the novels by Ernest Tidyman. Spawned two little-remembered sequels and a TV series shortly thereafter, a 2000 sequel starring Samuel L. Jackson as the original John Shaft's nephew, and an attempt at a reboot with all three generations of Shaft. One of the genre's biggest critical and commercial successes, though mostly known nowadays for its theme song. | |

Disco Godfather: The unholy alliance of two hallmarks of the 70's; Blaxploitation and Disco. Rudy Ray Moore stars as a retired cop who runs a disco nightclub. He starts fighting against the local drug trade after his nephew gets "whacked out" on PCP and nearly dies inside of his club. Notable only for being the first film Keith David ever played in (which he probably regrets); he appears uncredited as a patron of the club. | |

Super Fly: A drug dealer wants to set up one more deal in order to retire. (Since there were several sequels, apparently his attempts at retirement were not successful.) Mostly remembered nowadays for its soundtrack, written and produced by Curtis Mayfield. | |

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song: A bordello's show-stud is framed for murder by crooked cops, flees and takes the opportunity to pay back the Man for multiple injustices. Not quite an exploitation film, but it's often considered the Ur-Example, so it's certainly relevant to the discussion. | |
