Directed by, written by, and starring Melvin Van Peebles. Not many movies ever sought out to be as deliberately offensive to white people as this. A black kid grows up in a brothel, becomes a male prostitute, gets friendly with Black Panthers, allies himself with racist cops whom he quickly betrays, while taking a white chick bike gang leader on a tryst and essentially endangers the free world. Loose plot but riveting all the while.
