-
Fri 31 January 2014 // 20:00
Friday 31st January / 8pm / £5/4
Jonathan Kaplan / USA / 1974 / 91 minutes / Cert 18
January’s Hellfire sticks it to the Man with a night of jive talking pimps and hoes, as we enter the colourful world of 70s Blaxploitation.
Our main feature stars soul legend Isaac Hayes as Truck Turner, bounty hunter on the mean streets of LA. When Truck kills a pimp who’s evading arrest, his girlfriend (Nichelle Nichols - Star Trek’s Uhura in silver spandex) puts an irresistible contract out on him in revenge - offering her whole stable of beauties to whoever kills Truck! Soon all the pimps of LA have risen to the challenge, leaving Truck to slug it out with all manner of jive turkeys laying claim to her prize.
Second film features the most outrageously dressed pimp ever (think gold lame, fur suits and then some), who’s looking to become king of New York.
Plus Hellfire DJs playing funk and soul records in the bar, dig?
