Sylvester Stallone is an actor, screenwriter, and film director. Most known for his role in the film series Rocky, Sly portrays Rocky Balboa; an “everyman” who started out by going the distance and overcoming obstacles that had occurred in his life and career as a professional boxer.

Complications his mother suffered during labor forced her obstetricians to use two pairs of forceps during his birth; misuse of these accidentally severed a nerve and caused paralysis in parts of Stallone’s face.

Blaxploitation is a film genre that emerged in the 1970s. It is considered an ethnic subgenre of the general category of exploitation films. Blaxploitation films were originally made specifically for an urban black audience, although the genre’s audience appeal soon broadened to cross-racial and ethnic lines. The term itself is a portmanteau of the words “black” and “exploitation,” following upon the briefly-common usage “sexploitation” for porn-inflected films, and was coined in the early 1970s by the Los Angeles National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) head, and ex-film publicist Junius Griffin. Blaxploitation films were the first to regularly feature soundtracks of funk and soul music as well as primarily black cast.

Some Examples of Blacksplotiation Flicks:

Bogard/Black Fist (1974)

To make money, a Los Angeles street-fighter goes to work for gangsters.

Boss Nigger (1975)

Two black bounty hunters ride into a small town out West in pursuit of an outlaw. They discover that the town has no sheriff, and soon take over that position, much against the will of the mostly white townsfolk. They raise hell, chase women, and milk the locals for cash, while waiting for the opportunity to get their man.
