Darktown Strutters

[1] Despite having mixed reviews at the time of its release, it has gained cult status over the years with praise from film director Quentin Tarantino.

One fat cop is stuck in the police cruiser and Syreena walks over and demands to see his driver's license.

They argue briefly then leave, but the cops crash into a group of bank robbers while exiting the parking lot.

The girls drive to Sky hog BBQ where they meet a rival gang of men who challenge them to a race around the police station.

Later Syreena drives to a dingy neighborhood to find an abandoned house with her brother Laz, who greets her by jumping out the window with a kung fu kick.

A man named Commander Cross (who is a parody of Colonel Sanders) is seen speaking to black people gathered outside his mansion.

He explains that he's investigating a white female rapist who targets "black faggots" as he applies blackface to himself.

She questions him about her missing mother to which he reports that he's busy investigating the disappearance of several prominent black males.

Syreena visits her uncle who owns a junk store and he directs her to a pimp named Philo Raspberry.

At first, he is unwilling to talk, but they threaten him with a resident gang member who is dirty enough to contaminate all his prostitutes with a single touch.

She escapes, leading to a large motorcycle chase sequence with the KKK, but she evades them and links up with other bikers.

I was going to direct it, but I had another script that I sold called Trophy, which was about two police departments who end up in a shooting war, and it was really a labor of love, so I asked Gene to excuse me to work on that, but it never got made, unfortunately.

So Joe Viola came in to direct Darktown Strutters, but then he left the project and William Witney came in.

[5]The film was produced by Gene Corman for a company in Tennessee which was unable to secure its release.
