Clark purposely did not want to make a film that featured character archetypes that typically led blaxploitation films, such as pimps, private detectives or drug dealers, and set out to make a film in which an African American businessman was the lead, instead of more stereotypical blaxploitation characters. The screenplay, written by Clark and Alvin Fast, was described by Clark as a mix of comedy, sex and violence.[1] Clark drew inspiration from the 1975 film Shampoo; the film is observed to be an example of a common form of blaxploitation filmmaking in which a previous popular film starring a predominantly white cast is imitated with a predominantly African American cast.[3] The characters of Jonathan and Brenda have been analyzed as examples of black characters whose blackness is perceived as a commodity by their white lovers, while Jonathan is seen as a Mandingo archetype.[2]
Director Greydon Clark had previously explored racial themes in his film The Bad Bunch (1973), which had also been released under the title Nigger Lover, and would subsequently explore these themes again in his later film Skinheads (1989).[4] After screening The Bad Bunch for MGM in the hopes that the studio would distribute the film, Clark was told by the studio's executives that they were not willing to release the film because the depiction of white cops as beating and harassing black men and using racist language would offend police officers.[1] After the film was released through another studio and showed a financial profit, Clark wanted to make another exploitation film with African American characters, but while blaxploitation film protagonists were often pimps, private detectives or drug dealers, Clark did not want to make a film about these characters, and decided to take inspiration from the 1975 hit film Shampoo by making his protagonist a businessman and hairdresser.[1] The practice of producing a film that imitates previous successful films starring white actors, recast with entirely African American casts, was common in blaxploitation, with other examples including Black Lolita (1975, titled after Lolita), The Black Godfather (1974, titled after The Godfather) and Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde (1976, titled after Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde).[3] In addition to being an example of a blaxploitation film, Black Shampoo is also considered a sexploitation film.[5] Clark cowrote Black Shampoo with screenwriter Alvin Fast, as a mix of comedy, violence and sex.[1] Clark and Fast's screenplay depicts Jonathan as an example of the Mandingo stereotype, and derived many of the script's sex scenes from interracial cuckolding culture, depicting the white sexual partners of Jonathan and Brenda as viewing their blackness as a commodity.[2] The film's depiction of homosexual and female characters is considered to be homophobic and sexist, with the homosexual characters being portrayed as little more than dated, offensive stereotypes and the female characters as little more than the object of sexual desire for male characters.[2]
