About The Six Thousand Dollar Nigger
Wildman Steve plays a bum who agrees to allow an experimental drug to be administered to him. What he doesn't realize is that the doctor who's doing the experiment is a criminal, trying to create an unstoppable thief that's immune to bullets. Steve gains all the powers that Superman has, and after getting his revenge against all those who harassed him on the street, discovers the truth about the doctor's plans for him.
Directed by Rene Martinez Jr., The Six Thousand Dollar Nigger leans on a strong ensemble — Steve Gallon, Joycelyn Norris, Benny Latimore — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1979.
