Despite having an all-star Black cast,USN is not a Blaxploitation film but a movie that Spoofs and Parodies not only Blaxploitation films but also serious Crime Dramas and Gangster Films that came out during the early to mid 1970s an you as you watch the film you will notice a lot of the Trademarks of Blaxploitation movies,Crime Dramas and Gangster Films turning the genres on their heads in an interesting way. What I also love about the Comedy in USN is that the Comedy has a great balance of being over the top,subtle and smart using scenes and some of the main characters to generate laughs and when you watch the film the Comedy is done with amazing build-up and timing and the laughs are well-done with greatness and perfection. From beginning to end Uptown Saturday Night is a movie that is a laugh riot that never stops giving viewers Comedy that is wild and quirky with jokes and laughter that will make you laugh with tears rolling down your eyes and Humor that is so funny your stomach will cramp. Then at the height of Blaxploitation movies came Uptown Saturday Night,a Comedy that was the first of a Trilogy of Comedies starring Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby which also included the sequels Let's Do It Again and A Piece Of The Action,but with Uptown Saturday Night Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby crafted in opinion one of the funniest movies of the 1970s and of all time. Now,Steve and Wardell are going to through the criminal underworld to get back the wallet and find the guys that robbed them with hilarious results.Released in 1974,Uptown Saturday Night is a brilliant,offbeat Comedy that came out during the time when blaxploitation films were huge with Black audiences. There having a good time,Zenobia's is robbed by a group of thieves who take the money as well as peoples wallets including Steve's wallet which contains a winning lottery ticket.
