Deixem a Cidade Se Vingar

I have seen and own this movie and think it's a "classic". I absolutely love the film from the actors, story and especially the soundtrack to it.

For anyone that may have influence or knows someone who does in regards to this film, I would ask or even implore you to make this film available on DVD!!! I have been waiting for years for this to become available on DVD and it hasn't up to this point. I tell you that I will be one of the first in line to get it. Willie Dynamite was just released a few months ago and it was made, roughly, sometime after Charelston Blue I believe. Please bring it out on DVD. VHS is cool, but...

Anyway, love the movie, and would definitely recommend it to anyone to enjoy.

BTW, was/is there a soundtrack available as well? That's probably on a tape and not a CD huh? LOL!!! Please respond.

Yea this one's got all the action the first was missing but it's still a classic. Both will make you laugh, the first one is more like an introduction to Coffin Ed and Grave Digger Jones, this sequel is where they Get Down

This sequel to "Cotton Comes to Harlem" begins at a social dinner in Harlem, which is suddenly cut short due to a chef's murder and the theft of several turkeys. After examining the scene, the police find a straight-edge razor left behind as the murder weapon, which immediately reminds them of a famous Harlem gangster named Charleston Blue, who was supposedly killed by Dutch Schultz nearly four decades earlier. To follow up on this murder, detectives "Coffin Ed Johnson" (Raymond St. Jacques) and his partner "Gravedigger Jones" (Godfrey Cambridge) question Charleston Blue's former girlfriend, whom they call "Her Majesty" (Minnie Gentry) because of her eccentric personality. Sure enough, after speaking with her, they learn that all of Charleston Blue's trademark straight-edge razors are missing. This sparks widespread speculation throughout Harlem that Charleston Blue isn't dead and has returned to New York City. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I don't think this movie is as good as its predecessor, mainly due to the twisted plot and weak humor in several scenes. That said, while I don't consider it a bad film, I believe it doesn't quite reach the level of "Cotton Comes to Harlem," and I have rated it accordingly.

I think the reason I really liked this movie so much is as a child, I remember seeing "Cotton comes to Harlem" on NBC and thought, wow, two black detectives who actually did detecting and didn't do much 'shuck and jiving'. They took their business protecting the streets and the black people of Harlem seriously. Godfrey Cambridge and Raymond St. Jacques are sorely missed! The movie, "A Rage in Harlem" was sooooo awful. Why can't somebody remake THAT, instead of remakes of fairly successful movies or comics or TV shows that were at the best, minor league (Dukes of Hazzard, BeWitched). Give me a break. Somebody will try to do a remake of the Jeffersons next!MY GOD!!!

This film is sort of a pt.2 to "Cotton comes to Harlem" though it easily stands on its own .Once again we have superb acting and excellent direction by Ozzie Davis .I feel this film is not quite as funny as the previous outing though, and that may be due to the fact that this story revolves around the scourge of drug use and drug dealers .These are things that I believe Ozzie really hated to see going on in the community .As a director he probably recognized that Hollywood was not going to address these issues at the time ,they didn't have the guts.It is worth noting Ozzie made at least three films concerning drug use ,this one ,"Gordons War'and I think "Hit!" starring Billy Dee Williams. In this we see Viet Nam vets involved in the lucrative drug trade ,using the coffins of fallen comrades to ship the stuff in (check it out,this actually happened in the 70's).Much of the film is hilarious though ,and Godfrey Cambridge and the rest make this film memorable .Another film classic to be cherished .
