Hollywood Shuffle is my favorite movie of ALL TIMES! I must've watched it EVERY SINGLE day (or at least every other day) during the summer of '87! It still makes me laugh every single time! I LOVE it!
Best part of Hollywood Shuffle is when he goes in for the casting call for an Eddie Murphy type and when he tries to explain to them that he doesn't want to imitate anyone, he begins to involuntarily mimic Eddie's laugh and speech.
One of the best and important movies of all time. Robert Townsend using old film stock and credit cards to get this movie made. It started a lot of careers like the Wayans family.
Johnny, why you be stranded me? I ain't be got no weapon!. ...I have not seen this movie again since the late 80's and I still laugh at that line and all the potential actors trying out for the part is permanently ingrained in my mind. Very funny. Alas, Meteor Man.
Roger Ebert dislikes the film because he was called 'The fat dude with glasses'. This movie is funny and true. SMH, u don't like being called fat, then lose some weight!!!
thebabycakes71, I think it's just old videotape deteriorating. Ebert moved his face to his right, and the skin cancer-y look went away. I just think he had jowls with shadows in them. Old videotape is even worse than old film sometimes.
Is it me?..or has anyone else notice the changes on Roger Ebert's face? Why is it ONLY on him and nowhere else..except..Gene Siskel. He too had a sus looking spot. But Roger's face is what I've seen reported as "shapeshifting". Is this some sort of 'compression' and if so, why only on his exposed face.
As usual, the "fat guy" didn't get it. Ebert panned things that shocked me, and praised films that didn't deserve it. Nine times out of ten, I agreed with Siskel, even many decades ago.
unlike spike lee townsend was just a one hit wonder with this movie, the only other good movie he was in was "the mighty quinn" with denzel washington but he only ACTED in that movie but never made any other good films and a crappy sappy sitcom on the WB

Robert Townsend is Brilliant !!!!
Long live Hollywood Shuffle !!!! 💖
I give Robert's review the middle finger! Courtesy of Hollywood shuffle. He was mad they clowned him in the movie.
The people that are saying that Ebert didn’t like it or was dead wrong do y’all realize that he did recommend the film?

Get the fuck out of here!
Siskel & Ebert realized that Hollywood Shuffle was a funny movie.

Roger ebert didn't like it because the guy said he was fat with glasses.
He did like it--not as much as Gene, but he recommended it.
And the irony is that he was married to a black woman. 🤷🏾♂️ #twothumbsup
Ebert secretly gave this move the FINGER!!
@@hanzohattiori1737 Egbert got himself a Black Queen? Lol
He got clowned lol

Auto correct put in stranded, I intended why you be stabded me.
RAMBRO! Man, this movie was before its time. Check out the game Broforce. They basically took that idea for ALL their characters.
Facts thank you. I got that game on ps4.
A black Rambo is a pretty good idea.

1. It is a bad clip and 2. probably much to Siskel's surprise Robert Townsend is a force to be reckoned with!

Rambro
are these two still alive lol
Both died
Ahh Robert was the real hater. I give his review a middle finger.
WHAT THE HELL...????
Ebert was dead wrong on this one.
What up with ebert face
It’s the quality of the video
unlike spike lee townsend was just a one hit wonder with this movie, the only other good movie he was in was "the mighty quinn" with denzel washington but he only ACTED in that movie but never made any other good films and a crappy sappy sitcom on the WB
The five heartbeats??a box office hit !! Wow !!you didn’t know that you don’t know black movies
...and then he made B.A.P.S.
He made Five Heartbeats so I almost forgive him for that
Yea he must been having a mid life crisis or something. i don't understand how the guy who made this and The Five Heartbeats ended up making B.A.P.S
Adam M Everybody makes mistakes even Spike Lee has made a couple of mistakes.
@@QCongress83 ~ more than a couple
Whatever...it had Halle Berry in the movie! #cantgowrong
they look like zombie
