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)

Critic Reviews
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
