Released during the height of the blaxploitation era, Live and Let Die depicts many blaxploitation archetypes and cliches, including black gangsters and a drug trafficking storyline. Yaphet Kotto (right, in the white suit) plays Dr Kananga / Mr Big, a corrupt Caribbean Prime Minister who doubles as a drug lord. Geoffrey Holder (left, with umbrella) plays Baron Samedi, Kananaga's henchman who has ties to the voodoo occult.
