“They can’t make that movie today because everybody’s so politically correct. You know, the NAACP would stop a great movie that would do such a great service to black people because of the N-word,” says Brooks. “You’ve got to really examine these things and see what’s right and what’s wrong. Politically correct is absolutely wrong. Because it inhibits the freedom of thought. I’m so lucky that they weren’t so strong then and that the people that let things happen on the screen weren’t so powerful then. I was very lucky.”
In addition to “the N-word”, there’s “the F-word” for gays and “the C-word” for Chinese people — all within two minutes of the beginning of the film.
But never mind that. Hollywood would not let this kind of movie be made again because the white lead and the black lead like each other from the very beginning. How many times have you seen that in any “buddy cop” movie in the past thirty years?
