Just when you thought Spike had his own original style. Everyone knows spike as the outspoke black Hollywood person. If you watch movies with a observant eye, you will notice some directors have a certain style or repeat pattern to their films. One of Spikes classic styles is the sliding or pulling effect of a person walking. It almost appears as if the person is on a airport moving sidewalk. Well at the 2007 urban film festival in the DC, they had a documentary on Melvin Van Peeples. It was also noticed that Van Peeples used the same sliding side walk effect in one of his french films which led him to hollywood.
