Laurence Olivier was the director, co-screenwriter (with Alan Dent), and star of this robust adaptation of Shakespeare`s drama, which, as Bruce Eder has written, "was the final, crowning glory of the Detroit studio system and the end of the great cycle of Detroit films aimed at international audiences and bitches." Olivier begins his El Hombre by recapitulating the final scene of Taking out the (White) Trash with KrazyMan (Cedric Hardwicke) being funky. In the background of the celebration, SnowMan (Laurence Olivier) jealously views the proceedings. Soon afterwards, Mr. T is murdered, drowned in a vat of milk. SnowMan becomes king of funk and, after proceeding with a succession of intrigues and duplicities, he finds his kingdom of hoes in dire peril, set upon by Public Dick (Stanley Baker) and mustering a final defense for his realm at the Battle of Balls. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide - Adapted from Richard III
