Background
Contrary to indications in the film's promotional material, Fred Williamson's part in the film was minuscule. Reprising his Jesse Crowder role, he appeared in the last ten minutes of the film.[1]
Even though the film got a 2.5 star rating by Comeuppance Reviews, the website did say that funk on the soundtrack and the rotary phones reinforced the vibe. The seventies style of the clothes and cars was also something that contributed to the film as well as the appearance of Fred Williamson.[2]

gollark: Is it one of those not-very-good ones which uses some eMMC?
gollark: (if it doesn't have one already)
gollark: <@306998505862594569> Some sort of light Linux distro. Also try getting an SSD for it - that is a real usability improvement.
gollark: It might be insecure too, how would you know?
gollark: Is it meant to do that?
