The UAS is taking you Back 2 Black Action!

9/29/2016

 
Celebrating 45 Years of Black Action Heroes screening Three The Hard Way with special guest Fred "The Hammer" Williamson! Former Oakland Raiders/Kansas City Chiefs football star who rose to prominence as one of the first African-American male action stars of the "blaxploitation" genre of the early 1970s, who has since gone on to a long and illustrious career as an actor, director, writer, and producer! 6' 3" Williamson first came to attention in the TV series Julia (1968) playing love interest, Steve Bruce. However, his rugged, athletic physique made him a natural for energetic roles and he quickly established himself as a street wise, tough guy in films including That Man Bolt (1973), Black Caesar (1973), and famed Director Gordon Parks' Three The Hardway (1974). Talented Williamson established his own production company "Po 'Boy Productions" in 1974, which has produced over 40 movies to date. Like many young American stars of the 1960s and '70s, Williamson was noticed by Italian producers who cast him in a slew of B-grade action movies that occupied a lot of his work in the 1980s.

Saturday Nov. 12 AMC Empire 25 Theaters Times Sqr. 12pm Screening!
