Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I vaguely knew of him as Mario's father, but didn't realize his substantial body of work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I actually just saw Sweet Sweetback at a friend's house last month. What a flick, thoroughly enjoyed it especially as a time capsule. I had seen his name around but same as SFLUFAN, I really mostly knew of him as Mario's dad.
