Plot:
At some point half-way through this movie, you get rewarded for sitting through the first half, apart from Rudy Ray Moore jumping naked down a hill.
Finally, the Dolemite character moves out of a standard, poor-grade Blaxploitation, into a wonderfully cheesy poor-grade Blaxploitation. Dolomite isn't a Blaxploitation character, he was a stand-up comic character, and for the last hour, the character is in his element.
There is a fine line between "so-bad-its-good" and just bad... and you can watch the transition in this film, as the movie goes for the self-important laughs to decidedly surreal, cheesy laughs... from standardly-bad martial arts to astoundingly cheesy sped-up martial-arts with all the sound effects, and spanking.
Screw character development, we can see the actors, crew and Moore himself develop within the short span of a hour and a half, as if the movie-studio big-wigs casually stopped paying attention, and everyone was able to go for the gusto.
As a whole, this is pretty standard blaxploitation fare. It's not as good as the Soul Cinema stuff with Pam Grier or Fred Williamson but it has some of the best action sequences ever filmed, namely the naked leap down a hill. Somehow, Dolemite starts the jump completely in the buff but is fully dressed when he lands. It is a pretty big hill but still, any man that can get dressed in mid-flight getaway has all my respect.
Things I learned from this movie:
* Sometimes the only way to escape the sherrif is to roll naked down a hill
* Depending on where your career is, you might have to roll down a hill covered in bushes yourself. Poor Rudy Ray Moore
The martial arts sequences are cutting edge! Reminiscent of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Sho Nuff, "Who's the Master!?" all rolled in one.....;)
This is my favorite movie of all time. Be sure to catch the full edit, which will have a scene where Dolemite transports a white homosexual to California (it will make sense in context).
Crack open a "forty" prepare to be entertained! Check this she-it out...Dolemite's tumble down the cliff proves he is the Human Tor-nada
What can I say. Cheap as heck, but it is still a good laugh and I will watch it over and over again...boom mic and all.
Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...
yeah......rather watch a Friday the 13th Marathon.....no really, I would > they're cheesy but still funny!
