Plot Summary
The stars of Mystery Science Theater give their comedic riffing treatment to this Blaxploitation classic. The Guy from Harlem trades most of the sleaze, grime, and, well, exploitation that you expect from the genre for dopiness, sexual situations that fail to lead to actual sex, a clumsy confused sweetness, and more botched lines per minute than anything we've ever seen.

Hilarious
Rifftrax comes to iTunes! Awesome. If you are familiar at all with blaxploitation you will get a big kick out of this flick. If you're not at all familiar with blaxploitation you will most likely still find some big laughs here. It's funny enough watching the massive amounts of flubbed lines and hammy overacting but with the rifftrax guys providing joke commentary over the top, it's better than most new movies you'll see at the theater.
MST3K Guys rock Harlem!
Rifftrax has presented us with awesome shorts and hilarious movies, but this one ranks right at the top of my list. I have to say I put it right up in the Rifftrax movies like Cocktail, Titanic, and Twlight. Here, an African princess is being protected by CIA, all taking place in Miami. And yes, a private investigator helps out but unfortunately it is not Magnum’s Tom Selleck. But the Rifftrax gang saves the day and it makes for one funny movie. Had to rate this five stars for not taking itself seriously!
Lol!
Well it's about time they did one of these types of 70's movies. Would love to see them do something like "Shaft" or "Black belt Jones" also. I really enjoyed this one!!
