Three the Hard Way director
Gordon Parks Jr. had another film that year,
Thomasine & Bushrod, an Afrocentric and bucolic Western that braided a Black twist
into Bonnie and Clyde with its pairing of two of the most beautiful people
in the American West, Vonetta McGee and Max Julien, on the run. Their scenes together
toyed with a movie-star version of their own real-life chemistry. How you doin', Mr. Bushrod?
