Hollywood Shuffle is a 1987 American satirical comedy film about the racial stereotypes of African Americans in film and television. The film tracks the attempts of Bobby Taylor to become a successful actor and the mental and external roadblocks he encounters, represented through a series of interspersed vignettes and fantasies.
Fed up of reading for the same old stereotypical roles – gang-bangers and pimps – struggling Black actor Bobby Taylor’s (Robert Townsend) daydreams become a hilarious, sardonic look at Hollywood in this winning, groundbreaking comedy!
In the style of Kentucky Fried Movie, writer-director Robert Townsend lampoons Hollywood's perception of blacks--and racial stereotypes in general.
Lampooning everything from film noir to zombie flicks to sitcoms, Townsend and cowriter Keenen Ivory Wayans cannily turn the frustrations of the Black artist into a subversively funny pop-culture critique.
