A homage to blaxploitation movies done right. Jai White and the whole cast is great, playing their roles with the right approach. The story do feels that gets lost a bit in the middle, and the comedy can sometimes feel that is winking too much to genre fans. Neverless, it doesn't...( read more)
Take out a pen and a pad and write down the name 'Black Dynamite' This is a character that will soon be on everyone's T-Shirt's, and will make a regular appearance at quoteathons. Black Dynamite resurrects the word 'spoof', which has been dragged through the mud in recent years. ...( read more)
This film reduced me to tears of laughter. I've just returned home from seeing it at the Edinburgh film festival and can honestly say this is one of the best movies i've seen this year. I could just list all of the best bits of the movie in this review, but i'd rather you all jus...( read more)
The ending to this movie is so ridiculous when you explain it to people. This movie is hilarious, a real gem and a great nod to blaxpoitation.
Trop bien, j'me suis vraiment marré et les acteurs aussi ont l'air de s'amuser, tout est bien dans le film mais le mieux c'est le combat entre Dynamite et le président Nixon à coup de nunchaku, Michael Jai White assure sur tous les points et bien sûr en combat vu que c'est un vér...( read more)

"Doughnuts don't wear alligator shoes."
I now wish that Quentin Tarantino had contacted Scott Sanders and Michael Jai White when he decided to make Grindhouse.
As a five-minute clip on YouTube, this spoof might be a small masterpiece. As a feature film, it's both too much and not nearly enough. full review
See this one with a crowd, and remember Black Dynamite's immortal words: "Doughnuts don't wear alligator shoes." full review
I am happy to say it brings back an element sadly missing in recent movies, gratuitous nudity. full review
Generally humorless and pointless, devoid as the film is of any commentary on the genre to which it's paying loving tribute. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Black Dynamite" !
