Quiet as it's kept, overall this is one of the best movies ever made! It's just low budget, that's all! It's right up there with Casablanca and The Wizard of Oz. It has a strange, real, fairy tale like quality. It's packed with action! A very good screenplay and moves along swiftly. You will watch this movie twice, back to back!. This movie is really about Goldie who becomes a pimp, and not necessarily all about pimping. Surprisingly, it has a lot of depth, and the score by Willie Hutch is excellent! And the quirky , best part about this movie is there's practically no sex scenes! and in case you don't know, this is a CULT FILM! Now I'm through talking!( Superfly)

The Mack (1973), probably one of the most referenced movies in the hip hop culture, on appearance has all the qualities of a blaxploitation film, but a closer and thoughtful look might give you a different opinion.The Mack presents a portrait taken in time of a particular lifestyle not many ever get to see.The actors and actresses in this movie are all wonderful. Max Juilen shines as Goldie but honorable mention should go to Richard Pryor. If anybody knows about such subject matter it would definately be him. Pryor seemed more relaxed and himself in such role then any other movie I saw him in. After all, he was born and raised in a brothel in the Mid-west.
