Product Description

Meet Black Dynamite (Michael Jai White), the smoothest, baddest cat on the street. He’s a ladies’ man and the man with a plan. He’s also a former C.I.A. agent out to avenge his brother’s death. Whether he’s taking down drug dealers or sweet-talking foxy mommas, he’s the man on the streets out to stop The Man. Take a wild ride from the mean streets of the ghetto to the pool halls of the inner city, all the way to the “Honky House” with this bad-ass, tough-as-nails action hero. BLACK DYNAMITE is a kung-fu-fighting, pimp-slapping, gun-blasting, outrageously over-the-top parody of ’70s-era blaxploitationfilms that delivers big action and even bigger laughs like nobody’s bizness.

Amazon.com

When drug dealers take out his kid brother, ex-CIA agent Black Dynamite (Spawn's Michael Jai White) makes like a karate-chopping dynamo to track them down. Armed with a .44 Magnum, a set of nunchucks, and a sexy 'stache, Big D starts out in the City of Angels, where his buddies Cream Corn (In Living Color's Tommy Davidson), a hustler, and Bullhorn (co-writer Byron Minns), a club owner, offer to lend a hand. The deeper Dynamite digs, the more endangered his life becomes as he uncovers a conspiracy to keep the black man down by flooding the streets with malt liquor and filling the country's orphanages with smack. Since the smooth operator has a way with the ladies, he also enlists Gloria (I Am Legend's Salli Richardson-Whitfield), a socially-conscious soul sister, to aid in his clean-up campaign. Director Scott Sanders and White, who co-wrote the script, collaborated on 1998's Thick as Thieves, and their chemistry shines through. If the supporting cast can be a little wooden, White gives Shaft's Richard Roundtree a run for the money with his cool-cat charisma. Set in 1972, Black Dynamite doesn't just act like a movie from the Superfly era, it looks and sounds like one, too, courtesy Adrian Younge's old-school funk score, Shawn Maurer's 16mm cinematography, a cartoon credit sequence, and some carefully choreographed boom mic appearances. And dig those crazy cameos: Arsenio Hall as Tasty Freeze, Brian McKnight as Sweet Meat, and NBA veteran John Salley as Kotex. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Blaxploitation be Damned (Spoofed)!! BLACK DYNAMITE a fun, raunchy, great Homage!

Bya waltheron April 11, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Michael Jai White (Jerry Springer movie) stars and co-wrote this sometimes hilarious, raucous, and outrageous homage spoof of the blaxploitation genre. Everything that was good and bad about Shaft and Superfly; or The Mack and Black Belt Jones (checkout the commentary) is here for your enjoyment. It will help alot though, I'm sure, if you enjoy some of the blaxploitation movies. Otherwise, you may wish to go nowhere near BLACK DYNAMITE.
But, this is good the second time around too, because you might have missed a movie reference the first time; and the commentary will spell out a joke or two that I have to admit I did not see the first time (there is a visual 'joke' ''Where did the shot come from?'' that is actually a reference to the MLK assassination! THAT takes balls...! And, yes, I laughed when I realized I MISSED the obvious 'posings' by the actors...).
Michael Jai White admits he is, basically, imitating Jim Brown's acting and is flat-out hilarious when portraying the "thoughtful Jim''. There is a lil' bit of Fred Williamson in there too.
Sally Richardson-Whitfield is perfect in 'fro' and hotness playing the Pam Grier 'look' named "Gloria" (for Gloria Hendry who was in Black Belt Jones; and Black Caesar...).
Bryon Minns who plays ''Bullhorn'' also co-wrote with Jai White and Director Scott Sanders who, together do the (good) commentary. It's easy to look passed the one or two times in commentary when what they are saying and 'trying' to be funny about is just not funny.
4 1/2 stars for plenty of laughs and great stock footage used to represent 70's because it didn't matter if it might have been a car chase clip from tv's Police Story! All part of the fun!
Same car is used for different car crash explosion too!
Checkout ''B.D'' (as he is sometimes affectionately called) tell the little sisters he does not know who their daddy is. "MY mama said my daddy is "BLACK DYNAMITE!"
"UH, lotta' people with that name."
BLACK DYNAMITE is sometimes offensive and appropriately inappropriate in its affection for the genre.

The 'investigation' of Code Kansas and the ridiculous, roundabout way the players end up singing 'little richard' should be much more well known. The 'Kansas' sequence is a classic, comic moment as good as Mel Brooks or Richard Pryor -- rolled into one.
OH, and now we know where the chicken and waffles menu came from!

Fun homage to black exploitation films of the 70s!

ByDavid Colgroveon August 10, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

Though the one joke in this movie is stretched thin, it is one great joke!

Black Dynamite is a great homage to the 'blacksplotation' films of the 70s and capture the vibe of those films.

Actor/martial artist Michael Jai White plays the lead of Black Dynamite. He does a great job as a self-serious, jive talking, hard as nails brotha who cleans the streets of drugs. He eventually discovers a plot that takes him to the highest levels of government.

Great martial arts, a great cast and an obvious love for the source material make this a hidden gem

Ya dig?

ByObsidianon November 25, 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

There is a true difference between parody and satire. This is pure satire compared to 1988's I'm Gonna Get You Sucka which was straight parody. This was made with a love of the films that were watched by a good many of us underground and grindhouse film junkies known as blaxploitation. Certain films saved studios (Shaft, anyone?) while others brought us empowerment. However, later on in the genre and decade, the films started to become cheaply made and more to exploit pockets than make empowering messages.
This satirical piece gives a beautiful homage to greats such as Jim Kelly and Jim Brown and such films as The Mack, Black Belt Jones and Willie Dynamite. The jokes are are made with as much love and respect to the genre. This piece had side-splitting pieces and parts just too hilarious to point out.
I so enjoyed this film and just need to get this so you just watch the film. This is the homage of homages.

"I *am* smiling."

ByRafaelon July 15, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

This, for me, was one of those movies that I had sitting in my PlayStation for when people I thought might be interested would come over I'd pop the question; "Have you seen Black Dynamite?" No? Well then, you're in for a treat! Do not expect high production value—and I believe this was done on purpose. Do expect ridiculous hilarity and pretty good action. If you like ridiculous comedy action like Kung Pow, Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle I really think you're going to get a kick out of this.

Absolutely Dynamite.....

Byoliver mullinson March 21, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

.... The Naked Gun of the modern blaxploitation era. Unique and EXTREMELY funny. If you love the older Blaxploitation movies, you will love hundreds of references.... If you've not seen the old classics, Black Dynamite is still quality comedy in the line of Airplane, and The Naked Gun.

Anaconda Malt Liquor gives you... Little Richard?

ByAmazon Customeron October 15, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

A solid send up of the Blaxploitation genre. It's offensive, over the top, just plain bizarre. Not everyone will (or should) be able to deal with the gratuitous nudity, flimsy female characters, and racial jokes. It is clearly satire though, with themes that continue to be relevant. So if you can get through, it's also kind of brilliant.

FUN E

ByKindle Customeron September 6, 2012

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

This movie is one of my favorites. I'm adding it to 2nd tier cult classic list. It joins the likes of Napoleon Dynamite, Better off Dead, Space Balls and Something About Marry.
All extremely "rewatchable" flicks.

Black Dynamite, funny as hell, great martial arts, hilarious cultural references (Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles). The tongue in cheek take on 70's blaxplotation films... what can I say? It all clicks!

A ton of great quotes. A ton of butt getting kicked! What more can you ask for?
