Homeboys in Outer Space

with 15 comments

Opening from an actual mid-90’s UPN sitcom


I love blacksploitation almost as much as I love sci-fi.
Seriously, kids. Even I was offended.

  4. No, but it’s still damn good. Just not in the way it was intended to be.

  5. Blackula was good, but I prefer Black Belt Jones. Perhaps my favorite blacksploitation film is Space is the Place.

  8. I’ve not seen it, Freddy. I was surfing Wikipedia for info on Alien Nation, when I happened upon it. Soy and I cracked up over the title.

    I’m still singing the theme song.

    Kev: I refuse to watch BET, simply because WET wouldn’t be allowed.
    Well, it would..but it wouldn’t be a family channel.

  9. I’ve seen Killer Klowns from Outer Space. It’s an abysmal late’80s film by the Chiodo Brothers. Their first and only movie. (They’re better-known for creating FX puppets for films like Elf and Team America: World Police.)

    Has anyone seen Clownhouse? It’s a really awful horror movie directed by a convicted convicted child molester and partially financed by Francis Ford Coppola. In every way, it’s equal to KKFOS in exploiting clown phobias. Very heavy-handed, creepy effects, too.

  11. @ Micky: I agree. I like the funny clowns, though–not the stupid kind. I feel guilty laughing at them.

    Of course, no one laughs when they find out how badly they’ve been fucked by the clowns in question.

  13. I had a neighbor who was terrified of clowns. He left his house on Halloween eve because some trick-or-treater might have dressed as a clown.
