I've been interested in this for a while as I grew up watching a lot of blaxploitation, even though I do not think it will be very good it will be entertaining. fEven though this is a parody/spoof of one I think it should be funny. It also seems to manage to be a spoof without going in to Epic/Date/Scary/Trash Movie garbage.

Not interested, but generally spoof movies are not my cup of tea. Too hokey.

That was absolutely hilarious, seriously, I was literally laughing or chuckling through the entire trailer.

This could be the ultimate parody of 70's movies: cheesy dialogue, cheap sets, bad lighting, (intentionally) atrocious camera work, out of sync and unrealistic fight sounds, terrible fight choreography, and they even went so far as to even duplicate the cheesy special effects like a bad matte when he's bailing out of the helicopter as it's blowing up.

The fact that they are parodying the blaxploitation films is even funnier, since they were typically horrible movies that were trying to be serious.

This could be one of the more brilliant parodies, although it's humor is something that not everyone is going to get.

I hope the movie is as good as the trailer.

When I first watched it I didn't know if it was a real trailer or not.:r

Yeah, I can see how this trailer might be looked at as a gag, a film school project, a mash-up of various movies, or a viral marketing project.
