When blaxploitation movies became all the rage in the early 1970s, a few of the titles were African-American driven remakes of earlier movies, like Black Caesar, a very loose retelling of the classic Edward G. Robinson gangster picture Little Caesar. (Larry Cohen originally wrote the script for Sammy Davis Jr. to star; by the time former football star Fred Williamson took the title role, the concept had changed significantly.)
