"JESUS CHRIST!!!"
From its brutal skewering of racism to its rampant Uncanny Valley and Surreal Horror, this film has no shortage of terrifying imagery.
- The movie uses a lot of blackface-style caricatures in a way that is so over the top that many of them barely even look human. And a lot of the white characters aren't exactly model material themselves.
- Even the backgrounds have their own level of creepiness. They're either grotesque collages of the horrible ways in which black people have been depicted in popular culture or live photographs with a grainy, sickly quality that makes them more reminiscent of crime scene photos.
- Miss America, a sociopathic personification of Type 2 Eagleland. When she isn't beating up black people or feigning defeat to do so, she's mocking the characters for trying to escape their second-class citizen status while literally holding them in the palm of her hand, laughing maniacally.
- B'rer Rabbit's family home was foreclosed, sold to the bank and then purchased by a local pimp to turn into a brothel. While packing up their remaining belongings at the house, two state troopers swing by for a quick lay. Right when his deputy starts making a move on the prostitute Marigold, the sheriff turns to see that she's his daughter and shoots his partner straight in the mouth before getting a knife thrown in his chest. All Marigold does is shrug at what happened.
- Simple Savior, an obese black supremacist and self-proclaimed messiah that preaches a violent revolution against white America, accepting donations to pay for guns, tanks, planes and nukes that will be used for his race war. Br'er Rabbit turns his flock against him with an Armor-Piercing Question that reveals that Savior is just using the money for his own personal gain. Sadly, this is Truth in Television as there were a few black community leaders during the Civil Rights Movement that tried to exploit the plight of African Americans for selfish reasons. Oh! And he's also completely naked.
Simple Savior: White is pale! The cop is white! The rent is white! The landlord's white! Your pain is white!
- Madigan, a corrupt, bigoted police officer that garnishes his wages with extortion money he earns from working for the Mafia. He will assault or threaten anyone who offends him in even the slightest way or if they're simply in his way. His Establishing Character Moment is waking up in his filthy apartment to the sound of two rats fighting - both of which he shoots.
- His partner Ruby has a very creepy, almost lecherous rasp of a voice. Combined with his smug, patronizing attitude towards blacks, it gives him a very gross vibe.
- His punishment by Br'er Rabbit. Holy shit. His drink is spiked, he's led into a room where he gets groped by a gay man and injected with a drug that puts him on one mother of a Mushroom Samba before getting blacked-up and forced into drag while the others laugh at him. When he comes to his senses, he finds his partners dead at his feet. This drives him over the edge almost instantly and he begins shooting wildly into the air until he's riddled with bullets by the NYPD. He's far, far from innocent, but Jesus...
Madigan: Fucking BLACKS, AAAAGGGHHH!!! - Br'er Rabbit is an Anti-Hero of the purest stripe, shooting his way to the top of the criminal underworld of Harlem. One heroin dealer, finally making money after a lifetime of dead-end blue-collar jobs, gets viciously gunned down by Rabbit along with his friends.Rabbit: Look, I thought I told you I don't want no more H pushed around here. Sell it downtown!
- The Godfather, who goes after Br'er Rabbit and his friends for killing Madigan and disgracing his family name. A grotesque, bloated tick of a man who is just as bigoted as his Camp Gay sons, the Godfather and his company, which includes a headless black man and mosquito-like creatures that hogtie those who offend him, add even more Surreal Horror to a film that's already a nightmarish fever dream. The frequent extreme close ups of his mountainous face just rubs salt in the mental wound.
- The only "normal" son of the Godfather, Sonny, is chosen to kill Rabbit and does so while in blackface as a disguise. He succeeds in wounding Bear, but Rabbit shoots at his car until he runs Sonny off the road, where he dies crying out for mother in a fiery explosion. All that's left of him is a coffin filled with ashes that his own brothers cough into out of spite. His mother is the only one who shows any kind of sympathy.
- In a truly surreal scene, the Godfather's wife is shot by Mario before she's able to kill him for the death of Sonny. She transforms into a beautiful, fairy-like woman that shrinks down into her coat and turns into a moth - which the Godfather happily crushes before resuming his waltz. You try explaining that scene.
- The live action scenes of boxers smacking each other in the face in slow motion. With real blood. Interspersed with audiences so excited that they're practically feral.Woman: I wanna see them FIIIIIGHT!!
- The final live action scene where the storytellers are breaking their friend out of prison as bullets fly everywhere.
