This is the story of 1970s African-American action legend Black Dynamite.
The Man killed his brother, pumped heroin into local orphanages, and flooded the ghetto with adulterated malt liquor.
Black Dynamite was the one hero willing to fight The Man all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House....
antone who is familiar with blaxploitation movies, and spoofs of the genre by Keenan Ivory-Wayans will find this movie a hoot. From the start, this film makes out that it is serious, but is so well badly acted, you cannot help but laugh at the genius of it.
White is at a career best playing the titular character, who is basically a living homage to Jim Kelly.
For a spoof, the story is fantastic as well as silly, but fantastic never the less. Character support is spot on, and there are so many references to other films, most notably, Shaft, Friday Foster, and enter the dragon.
Where most films in this genre run out of steam toward the end, the film notches up a gear from tongue in cheek to just plain ridiculous, and its all the better for it.
Any film that ends with a nunchuk fight with Richard Nixon has franchise written all over it.
A blast from start to finish.
