The movie starts out with a commercial for an Anaconda malt liquor. Since it doesn't exist, I thought it would be appropriate to choose the most popular malt liquor out there: Colt 45
Why so many cans, you ask?
Because I'm following the rules laid down by Billy Dee Williams:
And I'm really thirsty. And it's really cheap; less than $2 for 24 oz. of 6.1% ABV drink. It ranks pretty high on the college student's money-saving alcohol playbook. For this movie/drink combo, I would suggest a 1 oz to 5 lb ratio. (every 5 pounds you weigh, have at least 1 oz. of colt 45 on hand; weigh 200 pounds? Get a 40)
This movie may not be for everyone: there is bad language and nudity and drug/alcohol use throughout. Some may be offended by the humor, but it shouldn't be taken seriously at all. A lot of the humor pokes fun at the old genre of 70's blaxploitation films. The self-parodying style reminds me of Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, with less slapstick and more genuine, thought-out comedy. Don't worry though, it's not exactly high-brow, but at the same time, it's not just sight gags and absurdities. The film really parodies its low-budget ancestors really well, and is hilarious as a film in itself, even if you haven't seen any films from that genre/era.
If you are looking for a good laugh, this is definitely a great choice. Just make sure to be ready for some racial humor (not racist humor, though) and some dirty jokes (language and sexuality). If you're a little uptight, I would suggest opening up a can of Colt 45 before you start the film, and get a few friends. (But I wouldn't suggest watching with your mom...)
When I watched it with her she said she hated it.

I'm dreading the next movie. But for now I'll leave it as a surprise. I'm taking any suggestions for movie/drink combos in the comments.
