Should The Wiz and Nobody Beats the Wiz be disambiguated? Friejose 14:20, 17 August 2005 (UTC).[reply]

I suppose. Someone could make a page for Nobody Beats the Wiz and put a link to it at the top of this article (this article should not be moved from its current position). --FuriousFreddy 17:15, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to try something along these lines, and please do revert it if you think it's a mess. I took a look at your user page, and you definitely have a ton more WikiExperience than me, so I'll defer to you. Friejose 18:32, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The labeling of "The Wiz" as a blaxploitation film

I have to disagree with including "The Wiz" in the blaxplotation category. This film is simply a remake of "The Wizard of Oz" and doesn't belong in the category where exaggerated violence and sexuality are two main characteristics.

Not all films considered part of the "blaxplotation" era contain violence and sexuality. --FuriousFreddy 16:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Ease on Down the Road" was not the biggest hit song, "Brand new day" was...


Blacksploitation aside, isn't this play/film inherently racist by only using black people in the cast?
