Number One with a Bullet (1987) | Billy Dee Williams & Vanessa Bell Calloway’s Debut

This Saturday on BlackTreeTV, we bring you an explosive crime thriller and a true cinematic milestone — Number One with a Bullet (1987). This action-packed feature stars Billy Dee Williams, the suave icon of stage and screen, and marks the film debut of Vanessa Bell Calloway, who would go on to become one of Black Hollywood’s most respected and versatile actresses. WATCH NOW – and join our mailing list to be the first to hear about our new network: https://app.youform.com/forms/uob2wbw4 In Number One with a Bullet, Billy Dee Williams plays veteran cop Hazard, paired with the hotheaded and unpredictable Barzack (played by Robert Carradine). The two detectives are on the trail of a ruthless drug kingpin, but their partnership is anything but smooth. As they navigate corruption within their own department and the violent streets they’re trying to clean up, the movie blends action, suspense, and sharp dialogue into a high-octane buddy-cop thriller. This film isn’t just about guns and grit — it’s a time capsule of 1980s action cinema, complete with synth-heavy soundtrack, old-school car chases, and tough-as-nails police work. But it’s also a launchpad for Vanessa Bell Calloway, whose talent and charisma jump off the screen even in her earliest scenes. She would go on to star in classics like Coming to America, What’s Love Got to Do With It, and Biker Boyz. At BlackTreeTV, we’re honored to showcase this action-packed gem as part of our Saturday Movie Showcase, giving flowers to Billy Dee, Vanessa, and all the pioneers who paved the way. 🎁 As always, we thank you for supporting BlackTree Media.
