I love this movie. As corny as it is, imo, William Marshall was the ultimate Dracula. He had the look, the charm, and the horror element added to his character. He was basically Gary Old man's Dracula before there was one.
Gary Oldman basically is playing Blacula. A badass Prince watches his wife die gets cursed with being a vampire finds her centuries later in a strange land, and still loves her and she actually loves him. That’s not the story of Dracula, that’s the story of Blacula. Francis ford Coppola ripped off Blacula.
You should watch William Marshall's interview about the film, he speaks on how it was a Conscious effort on his part to play the role as dignified as possible because he didn't like how blaxplotion was portraying black society. Its quite interesting.🙂
Fun Fact: The gorgeous Actress”Ketty Lester” who portrayed the “female cab driver Juanita” also portrayed the great aunt Lucy on House Party 3 starring Kid & Play, with guest stars immature & also Bernie Mac as Uncle Vester
It’s a very good movie, but very funny nonetheless. I remember when my brother who was suffering from cancer and I watched this movie together on a late night. We enjoyed it tremendously and specially that line “that’s the rudest…..” we were on the floor laughing but over all it’s a very good and meaningful movie disguised as a black exploitation movie, but that’s what makes it so great.
@44:57 I AM WEAAAK🤣🤣🤣🤣The dead silence, the " Bong" when it hits his head, the fact hes up there like Donkey Kong, Korey laughin so hard hes silent at first, its too much, this is a perfect movie for Double toasted along with CAts.
@@superfan931 Abbie was the exorcist with a black cast. In fact the lady who played Abbie guess stars in an episode of Sanford and Son as Lamont's runaway bride! Lol very hilarious episode!!!
@@SoulSir5vr I know what Abbie is, I seen it a few years ago, I'm just saying it's not good. I mainly remember that Marshall was an archeologist or something like that. He was the reason Abbie was possessed.
There’s going to be a Blacula remake and it’s going to be directed and co-written by Deon Taylor, the director of The Intruder… I really want to know how Korey feels about this since it’s one of his favorite movies 😂
Dracula is terrible for that comment 😭😂 8:32 Lmao 😂 9:18 That powerful slap! 10:50 Here comes the "gay stereotypes" 🌈👀🌈 17:04 That made my day lol 😂 28:21 Donkey Kong moment! 44:58 The slap is super effective! 46:31 But William Marshall will always be awesome! 💯
i just watched The Harder They Fall, and your comments around 54min with the mortuary guy taking the call from Dr Thomas, reminded me of how Wiley Escoe is at his desk, giving his speech to Rufus Buck and it pans out to him just preparing and talking to an empty room. :D
Man I used to watch this movie so religiously.. Mamawalldy if that's how u spell it.. The scariest part I was scared of was the dead cab driver running towards the screen use to scary tf out of me.. Still a 7/10 movie to me
I wonder what happened to Dracula during the time the main character was in the coffin. Did Dracula get killed by Van Helsing after turning into a werewolf to defeat him?
I’d love to see a DT review of Scream Blacula Scream next! So bad, but so good! 🧛🏿♂️ 😂 Also, if there’s a movie out there that’s due for a remake, Blacula’s the one - honestly, there’s a good film underneath all the Blaxploitation
I loved Scream, Blacula, Scream, because it paired Mr. Marshall with Pam Grier. And I agree about the remake. Tony Todd would make a smashing Prince Mamuwalde.
You shall be called Blacula....along with the boo berries. I saw this as a kid but ya'll review had me dying I laughed the entire time. And the beginning had me crying Martin lost it on that CreditKarma bit.....the other part I spit my drink on was when somebody said...They call me Smackula.....hell naw
As much as there are cheesy and terrible vampire movies, what I love about the metaphor of vampires is how incredibly malleable it is. I do credit this film has Count Dracula as not just the ultimate vampire, but the ultimate embodiment of white supremacy, slavery, colonialism, etc. It’s such a interesting metaphor that I will always see a movie that will have something appealing to it even with so many glut of shitty vampire movies. Hell, even “Dracula 2000” had Dracula as Judas!
Dracula was based on Vlads the impeller. Who killed and drank the blood of his enemies ,the Moors who were black people. So there's more truth in this movie than most realise.
I love when talked about 70's movies had those trumpets and funky music when heplayed the scene when Blackula was chasing the woman and the funk music was playing Korey,Martin and Billy was moving feeling the groove of the funk band
😆🤣I'm gettin old as 💩!! I saw this for the first time as a Sunday Double feature at the famous/now defunct *York Square Cinema* here in New Haven, CT back in 79 with the sequel *Scream Blacula Scream*
I always wanted to see a blacula vs dolemite crossover! A movie I'd love to see today would be a live action version of jefferson twilight blacula hunter from the venture brothers "maybe starring michael jai white"
I wish the BLACULA franchise had gone beyond two films so that we could've seen BLACULA VS. HONKEYSTEIN: DAWN OF JIVE TURKEYS. *STARRING* William Marshall as BLACULA Chuck Norris as HONKEYSTEIN Fred Williamson as THE BLACK CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON Jim Kelly as WOLF BRO Redd Foxx as LEX LUTHOR Pam Grier as WONDER SISTER Directed by MELVIN VAN PEEBLES
And full of 🦝🦝🦝, including the two of you. Danielle come on the show to get her fame up and look down on these brothers and y'all gawking and dropping jaw. You would think you never saw a woman before
I love how Korey and the guys still talk about sex and stuff with the female in the room. That's keeping it real! It sucks when your friends try to act all proper when a girl is around. I love this show!
I haven't seen this movie nor do I feel like i need to now. I loved this review! I laughed my ass off. I was watching this while coding...I am sure i fucked the code up laughing so hard.
Charles Macauly is the most frightening Dracula beating out Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee. I like how we get the added element of Dracula as a racist. Speaking of "It's you who comes from the jungle" Hammer planned a Dracula film that would have had Dracula and Van Helsing in the jungles of India (Kali would be part of the plot) but Hammer was on the way out by that time and the film was never heard.
I've never seen Blacula after hearing Korey & company talking about it I might go check it out not to mention I've always been curious about this movie.
From what I recall, the cops weren't as antagonistic to him from the Lt to the other beat cops, at least in this precinct to a black scientist. One of the pushbacks that stood out to me what when the Lt asked if it was the Panthers and Dr Thomas gave him that look. :) I wonder, is it because they know him, and it's the "other black folks" who are the problem? Maybe, the Lt wife' seemed pretty cool as well to have Dr Thomas' wife hang out while the boys went investigating.
Historically speaking, the actual Vlad would've likely been very racist against brown people. His nation was on the frontline of the war against the Ottoman Empire. I love how Paul Cornell leans into that during his Captain Britain comic series.
It stinks because here it shows Dracula is evil from the start He only believes in his own superiority not equality Because of his immortality and power he believes he can rule over any of his minions however he pleases There’s a lot of themes about the social climate of slavery and racism if you look deeper Dracula is just as bad as any colonizer
Expert on Star Trek: TOS guest stars here: Rasulala was not in Star Trek TOS. Wiliiam Marshall was so was the guy who cursed him in the beginning of the movie.
I’ve been ripping on the band in this movie for well over 30 years. Always thought that song was laughable, and the dancing was even worse. Didn’t know who they were or that they had legitimate cred. My bad.
So true story, my Godfather St. Clair Lee, is the bass singer of the Hues Corporation. He passed away about 10 years ago, but he LOVED doing this movie.
I finally saw this and the second one. It wasn’t as I thought it would be. There are parts of both don’t make sense, but it’s better than most blacksplotation films.
@Lenin Dominguez Well there is a movie in the works that will act as the conclusion to the show. So, I’m happy about that the only problem is they can only put so much in a movie runtime.
Based on Dracula turning him into a vampire as an eternal curse, I can't see his thirst for blood being an advantage for his people. I also found it interesting that he made his way towards America instead of his homeland. His victims are black americans and like the vampire lore goes, their only concern is for their nest that they turn. His curse forces him to see humans as food. It would be different if he was half vampire half human like blade. The soul of a human with the grace of a monster; which came from fallen angels creating nephilim. So everything about a vampire goes against the human race.
I loved this movie, especially Thalmus Rasulala (I love his name. RIP🙂)and Denise Nicholas’ hysterical ass. William Marshall (RIP) was Shakespearean in this silly but substantial film. 😆😆😆😆
Was Da Sweet Blood of Jesus by Spike Lee influenced by this at all or am i just saying that because both movies feature black vampires? Great review btw!!

Hmm. New recruiting slogan for the LAPD:
"We're so damned scary vampires run from us."
'Mamuwalde' is still one of my favorite blaxploitation characters. Much respect for William Marshall...classy and smooth even with the fangs. 👍🏽
William Marshall was the best out of the movie, even if it was corny.

I loved Scream, Blacula, Scream, because it paired Mr. Marshall with Pam Grier. And I agree about the remake. Tony Todd would make a smashing Prince Mamuwalde.
A reboot/sequel is on the books right now. As I understand the film will have Blacula revived in the 2020s. It will be a kind of remakequel.
As bad as the movie is, the soundtrack to this film by Gene Page is actually quite amazing. Go listen to Main Chance. That song is great
*Damn, y'all are still putting up with Daniel.* Bring back Goodwin.

Shorty's outfit in that Rock the Boat video was 🔥
I wish the BLACULA franchise had gone beyond two films so that we could've seen BLACULA VS. HONKEYSTEIN: DAWN OF JIVE TURKEYS.

Chuck Norris as HONKEYSTEIN
Fred Williamson as THE BLACK CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON
Jim Kelly as WOLF BRO
Redd Foxx as LEX LUTHOR
Pam Grier as WONDER SISTER

Honestly with the sequel using voodoo I would probably put it in the same universe as Sugar Hill.
"Handful of Jackson 5 afro." 😂
Remember , The main actor also played in a episode of Star Trek
You should do a whole series of movie reviews on all the Blaxploitation movies from the 1970s. That would be fun.

A blacula someone call Jefferson Twilight from the order of the triad he can handle this. Edit: god I miss the Venture Bros.

I really like the sequel, some comedy and drama. And Pam Grier's character is pretty awesome.
