More thoughts on the sceen where they blew up the car

I would have loved to have seen this film in the theater when it first aired.
I would have loved to have been in a big theater in New York or Chicago.

I wonder what inspired Melvin to create this sceen in the film ?

I know they were filming this sceen in the film,
Melvin purposely did not show the fire fighters his permit to blow up the car.
He told his crew to keep filming no matter what happened because he needed the footage of the fire trucks etc.

The sceen is very interesting.
I was always curious if the black kids were in on the fire/explosion.
Was there gasoline in the buckets they were using to wash the car ?

I also thought it was interesting when a guy in the crowd ran buy and opened the back door of the cop car so SweetBack could escape.

Then it showed SweetBack kicking back in Hand Cuffs on the curb watching the fire. I'm not sure if that was because all the cops were confused in the choas
or what.

Later it showed SweetBack climbing into a man whole.
I believe that ment that Sweetback escaped through the sewer system.
A very cool and tricky escape.

I also liked the part where the chick agrees to cut him out of the hand cuffs,
if he has sex with her.
