According, to IMDB, AVTAK refs the 1975 blaxploitation film. It doesn't say why. 3THW plot is white supremacists release toxins into American drains to kill all black. IS there a similar subplot to AVTAK

Perhaps IMDB is thinking of the scenes with Grace Jones, Alison Doody and Pappilon Soo Soo. By a tortuous stretch of the imagination they could be equated to the three biker chicks whom Fred Williamson hired to interrogate somebody.

 

There's no way it would have been deliberate - perhaps IMDB was just trying to shake thing up after so many references to Goldfinger, Octopussy, Superman the movie and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (which are legit).

Thanks, I needed it to be clarified. I knew it wasn't right.
