We end Blaxploitation April with a film that takes all the previous films, throws them in a blender, and you've got Three The Hard Way. Starring Jim Kelly, Jim Brown, and Fred Williamson, the trio attempt to thwart a racist plot to kill the populations of three major US cities by poisoning the water supply. It's a mix of kung-fu, action, and humor, with three of the most charismatic leads in blaxploitation's history. The Projection Booth's Mike White and MondoHeather's Heather Drain join Chris to talk all about the charismatic trio, blaxploitation's Mount Rushmore, and why there are so few contemporary blaxploitation films.
