Basically any action movie Will Smith is in will probably fall under that.
Spider Verse spider man
Tenet.
Shaft.
Training Day.
The Last Boyscout.
Jackie Brown.
Men in black
Rush Hour.
Spawn.
Lethal Weapon.
Predator 2.
Equalizer..
Blade.
Beverly Hills Cop
the new captain america will probably fall under that.
Can I say Shawshank Redemption? I’m from India and didn’t find the bad guy racist. He was just greedy and corrupt
Thunderforce was hilarious.
I am the legend (will smith)
Boyz n the hood
Spawn
Coming to America.
Jackie Brown. Outstanding movie.
Color Out of Space, a recent Locecraft adaptation.
Also gets bonus points for having an unhinged Nic Cage performance.
The Last Dragon.
Along came a spider with Morgan Freeman
I guess Spawn sort of
Although they did deliberately recast his black friend as a white guy to avoid scaring off white audiences
Creed II.
I assume Creed I as well but I only saw the second one
Predator 2.
Almost any movie where the villain is another Black guy and many action movies. Even good ones like Collateral
Bones
Baby boy
I Am Legend
The Princess and Frog. Ok racism does have a presence but it’s subtle. The actual villain himself is black. I’d also that another protagonist is Tiana’s over focus not being able to realize the other important things in life. It has a message that everyone can relate to.
Spider Man Into the Spider Verse. Arguably the film is more driven by grief. The villain is white but it’s not because of racism.
Miles Morales (Spiderman)
Storm (X-Men) although X-men fight against another form of discrimination.
There aren’t many, shame that they don’t really make many black characters without racism being a theme.
The new Star Wars movies (especially The Force Awakens), unless you count the audience as a villain, which is fair.
There are only a handful of those movies that I know of that are like that.
Usually Black movies don’t have a villain persay, as in a person who everyone in the movie is trying to get.
Honestly, it’s easier to list the few Black movies where someone is a villain and racist than all the other Black movies that aren’t like that.
there was some movie where a white girl was obsessed with a married, black guy at work.
Excuse me, in what movies racism and discrimination are the villains?
