The film is credited with the creation of the Blaxploitation genre.

After graduating from Columbia University with a degree in economics, Mario began to pursue a career as an actor. He made appearances in multiple television shows and films, including Exterminator 2, Children of the Night, L.A. Law, the Clint Eastwood film Heartbreak Ridge and Jaws: The Revenge.

His breakthrough as a director came with his feature film debut, New Jack City.

In addition to directing New Jack City, Van Peebles also co-stars in the film alongside Wesley Snipes and Ice-T. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. New Jack City went on to become the highest grossing independent film of 1991, earning over $47 million domestically on an $8 million budget.
