Blue Collar

Tired of just getting by, a trio of Detroit assembly line workers (Richard Pryor, Harvey Keitel, Yaphet Kotto) decide to loot the office of their union local. They find little cash, but lots of evidence of corruption amongst their leadership. Their decision to run a blackmail with their findings, though, might have them paying more than dues. Paul Schrader's exciting, underrated debut as writer/director co-stars Ed Begley, Jr., Cliff De Young. 114 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary by Schrader; theatrical trailer.
