He's The Mack (Richard Julien), a sharp, smooth-talking hustler who's back on the streets after five years in prison. Richard Pryor (Stir Crazy, Silver Streak) is his sidekick, Slim. They've got the brains, the muscle and the cool to take on the takers and to push on the pushers. It takes a street fighter to clean up the streets. It takes The Mack and his pack to do right! Packed with raw power, The Mack takes an uncompromising look at big city survival. Don't mss the action, because the action never stops.

Editor's Note
A black pimp in Oakland decides that it's high time to clean up the streets, so he initiates a campaign of violence. Max Julien stars as the eponymous Mack, a fast-talking, smooth hustler who has just been released from prison. With his trusty brother (Roger E. Mosley) and witty sidekick Slim (legendary comedian Richard Pryor), Mack is armed to clean up the streets. This action-packed crime caper also gives a searing yet fun look into urban street life.
Plot Summary
Goldie's a cutthroat, penny-pinching black businessman, eager to climb to the top of his profession. Just because he's a pimp doesn't mean he wants any less than the very best cars, clothes and women. But when he finally gets what he wants, he'll have more than he bargained for: white detectives, crooked cops and other pushy pimps moving in on him. Goldie's top Mack now, but he may not be for long.
