[edit] Trivia

Cosby and Poitier teamed up again for A Piece of the Action in 1977. Although their characters have different names in each film, the three Poitier-Cosby films are considered to be a trilogy.

Calvin Lockhart and Lee Chamberlin also appeared in Uptown Saturday Night as different characters.

In 2002, it was announced that Will Smith and his production company, Overbrook Entertainment, had secured the rights to the trilogy for remakes to star Smith and to be distributed by Warner Bros.. Smith stated that he hoped to get Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence and other famous African-American stars to be in the films.[1][2]

Rapper The Notorious B.I.G., better known as Biggie Smalls, took his alias from Calvin Lockhart's character in this film.
