From the opening scenes through the closing credits, you know you're in the Twilight Zone. "Undercover Brother" is a hilarious movie that requires a big audience but is better, and much more clever than other spoofs of recent years. For anyone familiar with the 'blacksploitation' movies of the '70s, from Shaft to worse things like Cleopatra Jones, you'll howl at this, with its references to virtually every film ever made in the 1970s and '80s, with allusions to a whole Chevy full of diverse film icons, from the likes of Danny Glover (of Lethal Weapon fame) to Jim Kelly's (only good performance in) Enter the Dragon. Afros, 1970s big body Cadillacs, car chases, James Bond, James Brown (!), General Colin Powell (courtesy of Billy Dee Williams), and fried chicken are all equal targets in this side-splitting spoof directed by Spike Lee's younger cousin, Malcolm D. Lee (no joke!). In this film, everyone is 'kung fu fighting' on the streets of Toronto(?!?). This is a fun movie that rates a 9/10! SO-LID!!
