THE MOVE
Isaac "Theme from Chef" Hayes stars as Jane Fonda's brother in law, Truck Turner in this nearly audible tribute to old time vaudeville. Plot takes a back seat to gunfire, car chases, and general malaise as Truck chases skips and hunts bounties. He kills a pimp slash rapist slash baby eater or some other such nonesense, and the dead guy's woman slash madam played by Uhura hires Yaphet Kotto to slur his speech menacingly at him. Featuring Scatman Crothers as the head of Interpol and the only man Truck ever loved.

Style Tips
Sometimes it's tough to pick an appropriate outfit for every occasion. And when it comes to funerals, since not every funeral is the same, especially a pimp funeral!
You don't want to do anything that would look it was done to draw attention to your problems over those of the departed, so if you wear an eyepatch, make sure it's clear that it's only a fashion statement.
What's goes over on the corner might not go over well at the graveyard, so limit yourself to tasteful glimpses of cleavage.
Always remember, the greater your grief, the bigger your hair should be.
Black IS beautiful, but some people just look their best in white. Any good pimp wouldn't want his friends to look bad just because he was dead, so go with your gut.
