When you sit down to watch this film you get the feeling it is something special. Starting with the first searing taps of a high hat the 70's funk soundtrack takes you back to the good old days of blaxploitation. Director Scott Sanders set out with Michael Jai White and Byron Minns to pay homage to the genre of Grindhouse flicks that gave the world Shaft, SuperFly, Dolemite, The Mack, and Truck Turner; and they did an incredible job!
CAN YA DIG IT?!
Hell yeah I can! Black Dynamite was the most fun I have had watching a movie since Borat! Michael Jai White plays Black Dynamite, an overly serious former CIA agent turned community activist, who is determined to find the men who not only killed his brother but sell drugs to the orphans, and he does a fantastic job. "Dynamite is gunna make it alright!" He takes on a community of pimps with names like Cream Corn, Kotex, Tasty Freeze, and Chocolate Giddy-up.
Given that this film is based on any number of blaxploitation films, it is a fun and original movie that will keep you laughing all the way through. The dialogue is filled with jive and the shooting is beautifully flawed. At one point there is even a microphone clearly in the shot. This movie gives you a bevy of different treats,gratuitous nudity, flying daggers, kung fu, meaningless sex, baby mama drama, and a shit load of explosions.These are things that would normally take away from a film, but in Black Dynamite this only adds to the fun. There's also a number of cameo's from actors like Arsenio Hall, Brian McKnight, and John Salley.
Alright Jive Turkey's, need a good laugh?! Grab your Anaconda Malt Liquor, a few of your friends, and pop Black Dynamite in your viewing device!
