Coonskin (1975)
Der exzentrische Predriger "Preacherman" fährt mit seinem Freund Sampson zu einem Gefängnis, um dort dem gemeinsamen Bekannten Randy zur Flucht zu verhelfen. Während Randy auf seine beiden Fluchthelfer wartet, erzählt ihm ein älterer Mithäftling eine allegorische Geschichte von drei ähnlich gelagerten Typen: Bruder Hase, Bruder Bär und Prediger Fuchs. Jene drei hatten bisher ebenfalls nur wenig Glück und waren wenig erfolgreich in ihrem Bemühen, an Geld und Reichtum zu gelangen. In Harlem angekommen hoffen sie, daß sich ihr Traum vom großen Geld endlich erfüllen wird. Bruder Hase entwickelt sich zum umtriebigen Gangster und das Trio scheint seinem Ziel langsam näher zu kommen. Doch nicht nur innnere Spannungen sorgen für Probleme, auch von außen droht stets Gefahr, da man sich immer mehr Feinde in der Verbrecherszene macht.
Der Regisseur: Ralph Bakshi
