70's intrigue?

You could say that. 70's, certainly. Perhaps "spy" is a better word than "intrigue" though.

Oh well played! :=D: :=D: It wasn't until I looked at it from another angle I saw the garage entrance next to it. It is the voodoo emporium in Live and let Die.

Same city, same era: which eponymous hero lived here? Ignore the pumpkins and "Happy Birthday" sign.

Damn right!
Seeing as Isaac Hayes sang the theme, I always wondered if 'Chef' on Southpark was a reference to Shaft. It does sound like the backup singers are saying 'Chef'. :lol:

Sticking with the same theme & locale & especially the genre of music!
This appears in the opening sequence.

I don't think these are the droids you're looking for, but it's in Malcolm X.

My opening guess is: Across 110th Street. My first thought was Foxy Brown but I think that is in LA, and while pondering Blaxploitation films the song "Across 110th Street" got stuck in my head. I have no idea if it is correct but it's all I've got for the moment.

Correct, you're up.

If you had that stuck in your head, I'd wager you may have recently seen the Tarantino film that uses Bobby Womack's theme from Across 110th Street for the opening credits.

It's still in Malcolm X, though.

Yes, a song with a clear New York reference, in a film set entirely in Los Angeles.

I know the song from Jackie Brown, but I'll take the win.

I'm out of Blaxploitation ideas, so I'll go with what is arguably an updated version.

Which film's protagonist lived here?

Not as far as I can see. 1991 film, which makes me feel old.

It has the hippin' and the hoppin' and is about young chaps and where they live.

Well, that ain't Compton, and I doubt any of the protagonists lived there, but is it from 'Straight outta'?
