Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe cave they pull into during the car chase is none other than Bronson Cave, known to millions for its use in such films and TV shows as Batman (1966), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and It Conquered the World (1956).
- GoofsAbout 15 minutes or so into the film, as Dolemite is being chased by an Alabama county Sheriff (because he got caught in bed with said Sheriff's wife), you can see the Hollywood sign as they drive through the upper roads of Griffith Park... and then they talk about how they have to get moving out to California.
- Quotes
Mrs. Cavaletti: He made me do it!
Dolemite: Bitch, are you for real?
- Alternate versionsTwo different video tape versions exist in box with same cover art, from same company. One version edits out the gay driver sequence and moves the opening credits sequence to where it would be.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Best of Sex and Violence (1982)
Featured review
What more can be said?
Having just seen Dolemite, I can easily attest that this one is purely funnier. I will watch Disco Godfather soon, which is argued by some to be better still, while many claim Tornado to be the best.
The racist cop cliches - GOLD. Dolemite leaping off an ivy covered hill, actually stopping the film, reversing it twice w/ a voiceover to "prove" that he really did it - GOLD. All the hallmarks of a GOOD bad movie. Really over the top, ridiculous fun. My only complaint is one too many shots of Rudy Ray's ass. And Caveletti's main squeeze, who is gratuitously nude more often than any other woman in the film, is a 40 plus white woman who is sagging in all the wrong places - couldn't a straight up pimp like Rudy Ray get something a little less 'local?' Oh, wait, he really isn't a pimp or for that matter, anything he claims to be in this movie. His interpretation of Kung Fu is hilarious.
