πŸ’¬ Plots of Nineteen-Eighties Movies if Their Protagonists Had Been People of Color

Replied to Plots of Nineteen-Eighties Movies if Their Protagonists Had Been People of Color by Carlos Greaves (The New Yorker)

Carlos Greaves humorously reimagines the plots of eighties film classics, including β€œBack to the Future,β€Β β€œThe Breakfast Club,” and β€œRaiders of the Lost Ark,” if their protagonists had been people of color.

I really enjoyed these interpretations, particularly the one for Risky Business:

After a suspicious neighbour calls the police on Joel Goodson, and his sex party gets raided, he is tried as an adult on felony charges for destruction of property, solicitation, and twenty-two counts of corrupting a minor. He does not get into Princeton.

However, my favour it Caddyshack:

People of color would not have agreed to make this film​.
