16. Melvin Van Peebles – Sweet Sweetback’s Badasssss Song
Via upload.wikimedia.org
Much as the title of this film suggests, Sweet Sweetback’s Badasssss Song was full of R-rated material. And as it turns out, Melvin Van Peebles, who starred in the film, had engaged in some riled-up behavior on the set. The movie takes place in a brothel (of course) and Melvin definitely got some action! So much so that it is said he got a sexually-transmitted disease from his dirty work on the set! Apparently he received some worker’s compensation for the whole ordeal. Wow, talk about dedicating yourself to your art! Still, we might pass on watching this film; we don’t really need to picture Melvin in that situation.
