I was six when it came out. I have never seen it. I'm glad I found it. I love seeing the old cars and places. Good movie and memories. So many cool actors I miss them day's
I swear this is one of favorite 70”s films. Calvin Lockhart nailed his Silky Slim role. I love his quote. Never few owed so much to so many! R.I.P. to all these legends! Sir Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, Calvin Lockhart, Rosalind Cash, Roscoe Lee Browne, Paula Kelly, Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson, Harold Nicholas, Lee Chamberlin, Johnny Sekka, Lincoln Kilpatrick, and Don Marshall!
Watched this at the Saturday matinee, 75 cents or a dollar. 25 cents for popcorn. The whole theater was cracking up. It had a profound positive impact on my life.
@@woolardjwcrazy how the machine shape peoples beliefs. Even crazier that there’s people out there that let them. I guess us out here that see the same things the same way just out here dealing with ignorance but atleast theyres atleast one person at work that see the bullshit and fake shit I see
I've known for a long time that Harry Belafonte was an amazing actor, but WOW, does he disappear into his role in this movie! For my money, "Geechie Dan" steals the show, lighting up every scene he's in -- and his introduction is hilarious :-D
Fun fact: The young guitar player playing at the picnic (1:26:30) was Ray Parker Jr, who would go on as an adult to score hit songs like "Ghostbusters" and "Jack and Jill" as a solo artist in the 80's.
This is what I grew up on movies like this, no cussing, no obvious sex, just overtones of it, and pure laughter, we also weren't caught up on race and worrying about another race did, we did our own things, and we didnt take jokes personal, Milton Berle would have been cancelled by the blacks of today; blacks people was more together back then also. Genx; the last generation born with common sense
That’s the funniest sh** ever. Cuz he’s only 5 foot something. Bill and Sidney were both over 6 feet. The fact he beat them up and the tap music made the scene hilarious!! 😂
@@freddy8479 Til this day, the music, Seymour yelling, punching Sidney, the flying through the bar, and Percy picking him up will always make me LMAO!!
Back when every other race in America Wanted and Wished that they could be Black. Our people were so darn smooth, eloquent, and well dressed. It makes me remember seeing photos of my parents back in the late 60s early 70's sporting that polyester with them slick brim hats 👒. Maaaaan, we gotta get some of the gems 💎 of black past and embrace them into the modern day 😊
Uptown Saturday Night was produced by Warner Bros. in the midst of the blaxploitation film era along with films such as Cleopatra Jones and Black Belt Jones. Throughout his career, Poitier was frustrated with Hollywood's portrayal of blacks in film and television, which motivated him to direct films during the blaxploitation era. The first film that he directed was Buck and the Preacher, in which he starred with Belafonte. Poitier then directed Uptown Saturday Night and its sequels, Let's Do It Again and A Piece of the Action.
Jump on THAT if you think you can STAND THE STRAIN!! AGITATE THE GRAVEL This money is waiting on friends This movie is as good today as it was in 1974!! This and "Let's Do It Again " (the late great john amos STOLE every scene he was in) good movies that are way better than a lot of today's fare.
This movie is a FAH classic. Pretty sure Cosby's entrance to the bar as a fake tough guy with a more passive Poitier, might have influenced Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder's classic, "That's right! We bad!!" initial entrance to the jail - which soon, hilariously gets exposed - in another buddy comedy classic a few years later: Stir Crazy.
It was hard this many years later to watch this enjoyable movie considering what has befallen one Bill Cosby. Who would have thought that all those many years ago when I first encountered this movie while in foster care with my foster brothers that I'd live long enough to get to see it again, only this time with such a nasty scandal hovering over Cosby (and I did watch his show from time to time). It made the viewing experience completely different. I love how they threw around the N-word and you HAVE to be blk to enjoy it. Great movie, thanks for the download.

@@blacktreemedia nah....the reason it didn't get put on an album anywhere is because the lyrics are so wrong. Good attempted rendition of Aretha's version anyway.
It Just Hard to Believe THIS Movie Just Turned 50 Years Old.. 1974-2024

This deserves an Academy award for Funniest movie and best Director Sidney Poitier!!

Wow so many late greats in one movie
I'll never forget the non-stop laughter in the theater when I saw this with my mother and her friends back in the day. Great memories.
Belafonte should have been nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his portrayal of "Geechie Dan". A masterful performance!
@@thegreatdominion949 yes! he does and Sidney for best Director.
Bearded Bill Cosby was one of the funkiest things about the 70's! Scoop Newsworthy 4 eva! 😄

When black excellence was on the screen with no profanity or violence just clean comedy
Weird

It's one of my favorite buddies movies other than Lethal Weapon movies.
Best part of the movie is 7:02 .."You my Queen Sahra" men dont say that to women anymore!! Men I love the 70s.
#peace Yea; has a gr8-ring, but had to stop!😂
Started hearing it was taken as condescending,
plus "hotep-naga" as a stereotype didn't help'\ツ/`
No You right, woman are kings now

Wearing the shades at the 150 dollar table?
Exactly which scene?
@@fatdplowden5555 when they were in the basement at the table playing dice. There is a man at that table wearing shades that look like Pryor.
@@bechet12 yeah, I noticed him. Ummmm that’s not Daddy Rich. Sorry!
@@bechet12 that actor is way too dark for Pryor.
Osgood, Judy, Olaeeya the African guest. Sanford and Son characters.
The theme song intrigued me to be a subscriber... Very soulful
Uptown Saturday Night was originally written for Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor.

The good ol days when nobody knew what a creep the Coz was
...but why was the song, "How I Got Over" edited out of this version of the film?
I love that song. Every time I see the choir scene I just start humming and singing it at the same time. It's a very beautiful song.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Sorry, it was a licensing issue

Today there are more films than ever about every subject, just not with the same level of quality actors
Speak for yourself. You're not black American. Stay in your lane.
Watch your drink ladies..
Yes indeed...
