I wrote about this movie lately. Then I discovered a review I wrote about the same movie 10 years ago. Here's the 2.Emetic ! ---------It is, and for generations and generations to come. I don't know how the 1994's Razzie of the worst picture went to (Color of Night) ?! In comparison with (A Low Down..), (Color of Night) is a classic masterpiece !! It's violent comic action without any comedy or action. And its only violence is in its mammoth silliness of each and every factor in it; the cast, the way they act, the dialog, the characters, the situations...etc. (Keenen Ivory Wayans) isn't remotely funny at all; his comic scenes seemed horrible. He didn't impress anybody in his action scenes too. (Keenen Ivory Wayans)'s plot got nothing to be remembered after watching (or during watching !). And (Keenen Ivory Wayans)'s directing wasn't less low ! Did I forget to tell you that Mr. Wayans starred, wrote, and directed the whole thing ? It isn't related to the fact that he's a cinematic genius or something, it's maybe because no decent moviemaker could bear working with him !I'm a fan of (Charles S. Dutton), however I hated seeing him in here. (Jada Pinkett Smith) was incredibly unsightly and stupidly annoying. True that (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) was kind of sexy, but not preferentially, or for long, or in a way that could compensate for the endless ugly matters which this movie is crowded with ! The climax of its torturing crap is the lead's too gay sidekick "Wayman" (or women ?!). He can't do anything, even making laughs as he's supposed to. The only thing that he succeeded in is forcing you to throw up continually. The black try of making fun of black stereotypes wasn't filthier before !It's one naked movie, which has nothing – and I mean NOTHING – entertaining or else to present. Definitely the worst Blaxploitation movie is more interesting and memorable than this. However (A Low Down Dirty Shame) is a movie that my stomach won't forget. Works like this invented "The worst 10 movies list" !It is a "dirty shame" only !Written in 20/4/2010===========================================Flood of Filthiness !----------------------This is Dirty Harry meets a dirty rap song. It goes like this : a black lead between Shaft and Martin Lawrence + logicless plot + the filthiest language ever recorded on film + countless rap songs for more than what any endurance could stand = mean outcome that's too paltry to remember.Man. Did I hate it? Well, it makes itself impossible to love. I hated the scene of seeing the great lead preparing to fight, wearing the best of what he has of clothes and weapons; I have seen this moment for at least 1000 times before!! I hated (Jada Pinkett Smith) as the secretary. I may go to hell if I ever put "beautiful" and her name in one sentence anytime! The way she looks and talks is extremely sickening. What epithet she deserves the most ? The most detestable cartoon character, the silliest girl ever been in an action, or the ugliest thing I have ever seen !Having no sense of humor was better than having the worst kind; as this movie does. From totally unfunny scenes for (Wayans), to such a contumely to the 1960s star (James Brown) as if only dogs that listen to his songs now, ending up with the hellish dialog. Most of the time I felt my ears getting flayed. Just recall : the numerous "a**", "pe**s", "f***ing" terminologies. I believe this movie is a fine reference book for all the squalid phrases that use these words (the tabloid speaks about decreasing the size of a**es, shoot my a**, don't make me spank your black a**, promise me to burn his a**...) Ahh, there is no end and nothing else. It assures not only that (Wayans) knows nothing about writing comedy but by using these terms, he rather knows nothing from the English language but them too! Let alone the free pure filth: The conversation about the beauty of a crippled girl's butt, or the joy of making love with the crippled girls in general (!!!!!). Or the awful story of (Jada Pinkett Smith) about her dog that shits a lot. Things like these, and I'm not sorry to say it, made the movie as a huge pile of excrement itself !But still, to add more vomit, here you are; the lead's sissy sidekick "Wayman". 3 scenes, just 3, got this thing in it. Nevertheless the repugnant effect of it can't be forgotten. What alien from outer space, or a demon from inferno, can actually bear this "Wayman" for a second ?? He's, without a doubt, the dirtiest of whatever this movie has !In Egypt, its commercial title as a video stood for (The Professional and The Beauties), while I saw no Professional, Beauties, or a "Beauty" of any kind !Written in 3/10/2000===========================================Not much of a difference, huh ?!

I'm sure this movie wasn't done with "we're gonna win an academy award with this one!" intentions it doesn't take itself too seriously & was done to entertain & it did just that! Trust me all the negative criticism & unnecessary flack this movie got was totally unwarranted & was done by people who have NO taste for GREAT entertainment! That being said this movie is one of my favourite comedy/action flicks..it is FUNNNNNNNNNY & the ACTION is steadily paced & EXPLOSIVE there isn't a dull moment in this one guys.Jada Pinkett was too cute not to mention hilarious in this movie & her personality amped this film up nicely.The guy who played Louise was very funny & of course the oldest Wayans brother Keenan (the star)delivered too.Lol the guy who played Wayman was a riot as well. In my head I'm trying to pick out a favourite moment from this movie & I can't!..the whole movie was a BLAST & if you haven't seen it yet you're wasting time..seriously! It's one of the best films in the comedy/action genre & fans of both individual genres WON'T be disappointed either..so if you haven't seen it yet do yourself a favour & check it out you won't regret it! 10 out of 10 stars!

I originally watched this film because I had heard that it was a hilarious action-comedy, and I have found Keenan Ivory Wayans quite hilarious in other films, especially "I'm Gonna Get Ya Sucka!". But as I watched this film I realized that it was a very sorry attempt at making another "Shaft", without making any of the political or sociological commentaries that made the origional such an effective film. If you are looking for straight un-intelligent entertainment, this might be the movie for you, but if you are looking for an entertaining movie that also does have something to say, rent Shaft.

Considering that Keenan Ivory Wayans is a comedian, I was impressed with the way that he handled this action-comedy which he starred in and directed. A not so far cry away from his comedic success with his "blaxploitation" spoof "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka", Keenan manages to fare well with good action sequences and stick a lot of funny s*** along the way. Jada Pinkett lives up to comedic expectations as the sexy but tough assistant to Shame as Peaches. It's a good action-comedy to rent, but put the kids to bed before you watch it. The movie has plenty of violence, adult content and plenty of raw language.
