The Harder They Come (1972)

[Mr. Arkadin]

We are in for a unique treat on TCM Underground tonight. Although other Blaxploitation films mixed violence, drugs, and great music, The Harder They Come almost single handedly introduced Reggae to North America.

Synopsis: When a frustrated Reggae singer turns to dealing drugs, chaos ensues.

It’s worth noting that there were two different cuts to this film with entirely different endings. Which will be shown is anyone’s guess, but kudos to TCM for digging up this jammin gem for a new audience.
