“Yeah yeah, mama. Now you could hit the sheets or the streets, it don’t make me no never mind. Now that’s your bag baby, you can go, or you could come. Can you dig it?”
Didnt make me laugh, but I’ll be damned if this wasn’t one of the best lines in the movie.
This series is gonna be awesome, i wonder if they gonna pair it with the next season of boondocks and they have them both coming on right after each other.
I thought that overall, the movie suffered from trying too hard to imitate the Blaxpoitation movies of the 70s. The pacing was awfully slow, and it kept delving into really pointless plot tangents. Maybe that’s what they were going for. . .but it’s not exactly a movie I would recommend to other people.
Which is weird, really, because I can’t think of any other movie that had as many awesome moments as Black Dynamite. The dojo scene with his magical shunpo? The boomerang thrown before he came into the room? The “I am smiling” conversation? His personal admission that there’s tons of people with the name Black Dynamite?
There’s just tons of great moments throughout the film. But taken as a whole, the movie was. . .not that great. I honestly thought that Undercover Brother did a better job at riffing on the Blaxploitation genre, but maybe I just don’t get what Black Dynamite was going for.
Undercover brother was more like austin powers, but with a black lead. It’s really goofy and silly. Black Dynamite is a proper blaxploitation flick that appears to be taking itself serious, but is just funny for all the reasons blaxploitation films are funny. It’s not all jokes and gags like undercover brother.
Black Dynamite definitely doesn’t take itself seriously, if you think so maybe you need to watch the movie, because the sheer amount of gags in it is unbelievable, most of them are small little things that you’ll only notice upon closer inspection or a rewatch or two.
Yeah but it isn’t all jokes and gags, around 90% of it is though.

It’s parodying an entire genre of films, though in a less outrageous fashion than undercover brother(though that was less of a parody and more of a modern take on blaxploitation, like pooty tang) or those shitty “Movie” movies which stopped being funny after scary movie 2 in my opinion.
Speaking as someone who owns Roots and Roots TNG on DVD, I have to say…
Scott Pilgrim had no business not having online. Games that don’t even need it have it. A beat-em-up with no online? Get the fuck out of here. No excuse for that.
Its makes it even more funny when you have parents who can point out the reference from older blaxploitation movies. Case it point, This scene here:
