Undercover Brother
built 268 days ago
Undercover Brother is now as white as ever, as he listens to a Michael Bolton cover of Sisqo's "The Thong Song." Before things get even more confounded, Sistah Girl goes there dressed as a 70s vixen. She tries to convince him where he comes from, but Penelope tries to keep him in the white. Both women sway him back and forth between Undercover Brother and Anton Jackson until Sistah Girl pulls out his medallion that he says will remind him who he is. He becomes Undercover Brother. White She-Devil reveals herself as Penelope Snow and shows her true intentions by fighting with the two along with her henchmen. Sistah Girl and White She-Devil take the fight to the shower. The henchmen and Undercover Brother stop fighting and watch them as they fight seductively.

Undercover Brother should be a very funny film. It has a great premise, being based on a hilarious series of online shorts about a funked-out vigilante sticking it to almighty whitey. It has a great cast, with Eddie Griffin as the titular Afro'd hero; Dave Chappelle as comic backup; and Mr. Colt .45 himself, Billy Dee Williams. It has a competent director in the form of Malcolm D. Lee (cousin of Spike). It even has a few flashes of comedic genius, as when a Colin Powell-like general (Williams) gets co-opted by a racist mind-control drug hidden in fried chicken. (OK, maybe that's not so genius.)

With a funky sense of style, a smooth way with the ladies and an absolute hunger for justice, Undercover Brother has lived by his own rules since the day he heard his first Parliament Funkadelic groove. Fueled by the funk, he became the man he is today--Robin Hood of the ''hood, ready to step in, give the downtrodden a hand and fight the powers-that-be. With his Bruce Lee moves, Cadillac attitude and an arsenal of outrageous disguises and gadgets, he is patiently waiting for that one really heavy mission. A sinister underground movement has begun, unleashing a terrifying top-secret weapon: an irresistibly packaged psycho-hallucinogenic drug that will reduce the entire population to mindless zombies. However, a dedicated group of Good Guys, know as the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D., has been tracking their activities and is now braced for a showdown. But they know that a fight this big means they must produce their own secret weapon: the one crime fighter cool enough to infiltrate the enemy on the streets or in between the sheets.

Undercover Brother began life as an animated series on the Internet. The satirical cartoon was created by novelist and screenwriter John Ridley (Three Kings) for the website urbanentertainment.com. Ridley wrote the screenplay with Michael McCullers, co-writer of the Austin Powers sequels, and it was directed by Malcolm D. Lee (Spike Lee's cousin, and the writer/director of The Best Man). The film stars Eddie Griffin (of TV's Malcolm and Eddie) as Undercover Brother, he of the gold Cadillac convertible and huge Afro, who uses gadgets and disguises to steal from the rich and give to the poor. His activities are discovered by the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D., a spy organization devoted to subverting The Man (Robert Trumbull) and his henchman, Mr. Feather (Chris Kattan), who use their power over the media to demean black people and destroy racial unity. The spy organization is run by The Chief (Chi McBride), who is constantly screaming at his subordinates.
