Jimmie Walker's character name (Bootney Farnsworth) was used in Dr. Dre's The Chronic on the track titled 'The 20-Sack Pyramid'.
John Amos, who plays Kansas City Mack, played Jimmy Walker's father in the television show Good Times (1974).
People say this is a sequel to "Uptown Saturday Night," but it's not. A lot of the same people were in "Uptown Saturday Night" but all the characters names are different in this movie & the movie is set in a different state than the first one. Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby are still best friends in the movie but with different names, wives and different jobs.
The name of the character played by Calvin Lockhart, Biggie Smalls, was later taken on as an alias for the late rapper, The Notorious B.I.G.
Final film role for Paul Harris
"Billy Foster: [Beth kisses Billy on cheek] Beth Foster: That's for showing me one of the nicest times I've ever had in my life. Billy Foster: Is, uh, that all I'm gonna get? Beth Foster: That's all you gonna get in public. Billy Foster, Beth Foster: [Laughter. Billy grabs Beth's behind] Beth Foster: [Squeals] Stop! [Squeals] Beth Foster: You fresh thing! Billy Foster: [Laughs] You know you love it. Beth Foster: Yes, I do. Billy Foster: Woo! And tonight I'm gonna lay a blockbuster on you. To-*night*! Beth Foster: Yeah? Oh, I'm gonna have a block for you to bust, too, baby, so you better bring a whole lotta hammer. Billy Foster: Have hammer, will travel and go deep into your crevice."
"Beth Foster: Kansas City Mack! Kansas City Mack! You think I work for that small time country chump? You surprise me Mr. Smalls. You ain't got the smarts I thought you had. Biggie Smalls: What? Beth Foster: I work for the New Syndicate, sugar. I'm on the road 10 days out of every month. And all I do is move money from one city to another. Now that money is theirs. And they want it, in Chicago, with *me* by morning! Biggie Smalls: You're lying. Beth Foster: You try me. [Biggie's girlfriend points a gun in Beth's face] Beth Foster: Will you tell this child to take this thing out of my face before I make her eat it? [turns to Biggie Smalls] Beth Foster: You better let me call Chicago. [Beth calls Billy] Beth Foster: Hello, Chief? [pause] Beth Foster: I'm having trouble with the pick up! [pause] Beth Foster: He's right here. [Hands the phone to Biggie Smalls] Biggie Smalls: [Biggie Smalls takes the phone] Hello? Billy Foster: Hey! Are you crazy? Now I hear your 6 foot tall and good looking. How would you like to be 4 foot tall and ugly, down in the river with a box of cement? Now we want the woman, and the money, in Chicago by morning. Nice talking to you, Biggie. Biggie Smalls: [Biggie hangs up phone, then turns to Beth] Take it. Beth Foster: Jive turkey!"
