Carbon Copy
Debut theatrical feature film debut of actor Denzel Washington.,When Walter and Roger check into a hotel the sign says "Free Ice and TV". Later in the room, Roger wants to watch TV and states that the TV requires payment of a quarter (25 cents) to watch it. This is most likely due to shady business tactics which can promise something but later retrieve that promise with diverse excuses.,Reverend Hayworth: God is white. It's simple logic. His son is white.
Walter Whitney: That's not proof. I'm white. My son is black.,Featured in Vintage Video: A Chronological 80's Film Rewatch Podcast: Carbon Copy (1981) (2022),I'm Gonna Get Closer to You

Performed by Dan Seals (as England Dan Seals),This was the first time I had seen Denzel Washington and our family really enjoyed the movie. We are a Black family, so the White dad buying into the stereotypes about Black people struck us as quite amusing and he deserved his comeuppance for his sorry thinking. The movie was funny and also touching. True, there was a lack of depth in some of the acting, but not all movies that are made contain a great amount of depth. For the most part, if you want to watch a movie that won't assault your eyes or ears, yet entertain you with some true and humorous depiction of slices of life, this is a good one to check out. I've been a Denzel fan ever since I saw "Carbon Copy" and it is a part of my "favorites" collection.,
