Because the few black characters in these movies are for the most part neon-bright racial stereotypes, Afterlife's introduction to survivor Luther West (Boris Kodjoe) has him performing a physically impossible basketball-style slam dunk in order to grab the tail of Alice's plane and stop it from hurtling off the roof.

Of course, Luther turns out to actually be a former star NBA player, whose physical fitness makes him a valuable asset in the quest to stay alive.

At least he's a cool bada**, which is more than can be said for the series' other prominent black character, L.J., who obviously spends too much time ogling the aforementioned zombie strippers.
