    Man, I thought that was Franklin’s father sitting in the chair! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣🤣
  • Who knew there was entire film genre based on historical events that used fake movies to carry out an escape plot. If this is half as good as Argo I'm all in.

    "The real issue in America isn't black vs white. It's rich vs poor" - Dr. Huey P Newton, founder of the Black Panther Party.
  • The legacy of Huey Newton and the Black Panthers is too important and deep for this silly, whimsical, false portrayal. And no, I'm not impressed that it has a Black Executive Producer.
  • the first thing i went to after seeing this trialer is the credits, the PA's, gaffers, clothes and set designers, writers to the CO's... the bts better have 70% black people

    I hope they do him justice. Huey is a legend b
  • That brotha from Snow Fall had the most authentic heroic energy to play a Black Panther.
  • @RJ_873
    Can’t wait for this one!
  • Wait a minute, did Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor help Huey get out of the country for real?
