Lord Shango

Marlene Clark said during an interview in 2000 that the movie received a few favorable reviews from critics intrigued by its depiction of the Yoruba religion, first-hand knowledge of which came courtesy of the film's technical advisor. She said "I don't know how they found that man! He was an ex-pimp from Harlem who had bought some property in South Carolina and established an African village. He had like five wives, and of course, being an African king, you get to have all the queens, right? And this was the guy the producers hired to tell them about the Yoruba religion! We all stayed in the same motel. He was in one room, his wives were in another, and he would call for whichever wife he wanted that particular evening. I remember thinking, 'This isn't a big leap from being a pimp in New York, except you get to wear a lot of nice robes!'"

While Memphis is praying in church, Jenny keeps yelling at him to get on his knees. He already is.
