So by now, you all probably know that we here at FOTD love the Blaxploitation films of the 70's. There's just something about the combination of afros, naked chicks, pimps, and badass black dudes sticking it to The Man that we can't seem to get enough of. Well, today, I was keyed into a film called Bloodsucka Jones that not only pays homage to the genre, but has Vampires too!
The story is as follows:
David Lewis meets the girl of his dreams who turns out to be a vampire. When her brother and his gang of preppy douchebag vampires set out to kill him he enlists the help of Tony the worst vampire hunter ever. They team up to get in worse trouble than when they started and as all seams lost they are helped by Bloodsucka Jones the long forgotten 70’s comic book hero, vampire hunter and all around badass. Along with sexy sidekick Vanessa they train to became the mediocre heroes they were meant to be. Blood, babes, boobs, gore, chicks, vampires, severed heads, bad language, punching, kicking, biting, screaming, and gratuitous everything…..No it’s not Shakespeare it’s the best damn movie ever!
For those pondering that this is just an attempt to cash in on the growing popularity of the (AMAZING) film Black Dynamite, think again. Apparently, the script has been out there for a few years, and the movie has been in production for some time. In fact, it just wrapped principal photography last week. According to the filmmakers, they are "way over budget and schedule but also way over awesome!”
Some stills from the film have made their way online, and I have to say, while some are just plain silly, they still look promising. Included in the bunch are a big dude with an afro and mustache mackin' it to a white chick and a bunch of girls having a pillow fight in their underwear.
Now that's classy!
You can check out the gallery of stills HERE, and get more info on the film from it's official MySpace Page.
If we hear more, we'll let you know...
