"In 1986, 21-year-old Richard Lowrey and his brother, Tor Reyel Lowry, undertook the arduous task of directing their first feature film, Hawk Jones. His vision included a city under siege by a crime syndicate, a hardened cop hot on their trail, a seedy atmosphere grounded in an urban backdrop, and elements of blaxploitation films, all punctuated by action-packed shootouts. The twist? Children play every single character." https://culturalgutter.com/2026/03/26/pow-kids-with-guns-and-the-sov-surrealism-of-hawk-jones-1986/ #movies #blaxploitation #FilmHistory
