THE MONKEY HUSTLE-1976-Big Daddy Fox
(Yaphet Kotto) is a hustler/con man/thief in Philly. He
recruits/corrupts some street kids. All the characters talk jive and
only think about money. Fox's girlfriend runs the local restaurant.
Caught in the middle is Win (Randy Brooks) the older brother of one
of Fox's young “students”. A side plot concerns the local
community protesting the bulldozing of the neighborhood. Later Fox
teams up with local con man Glitterin' Goldie (the always
outrageously dressed Rudy Ray Moore) to stop the construction.
This
too hip for itself “blaxploitation” film was directed by Arthur
Marks (not Groucho's son) but it's not nearly as entertaining as his
previous outing J. D.'S REVENGE.
Thanks for reading!
