Cotton Comes to Harlem

Click over to http://fjetsam.com/ and check out a very strange Grindhouse like trailer from an early blaxploitation film Cotton Comes to Harlem. I found out this movie was based on a book by the same name. With one of the main characters named Gravedigger Jones, you can’t go wrong with this movie. The trailer had me laughing the whole time.

What I found very interesting was that there was at least one real sequel, Come Back, Charleston Blue, and perhaps another movie that might be set in the same continuity, A Rage in Harlem. The sequel to Cotton was about a ghost that nearly starts a gang war in Harlem. Yes, you heard that right it was a ghetto ghost.

Now, A Rage in Harlem was released in the 90’s and directed by Bill Duke. Remember, Duke was the guy that got his head blown off in Predator toward the end.
