Have you ever seen the Dolomite movies? They’re CLASSIC blaxsploitation and are definitely a big inspiration for Black Dynamite. I’m deeply in love with all of them.
There’s 4 generally that are the big ones. The Human Tornado is a sequel to Dolomite but otherwise they can be watched in any order that you feel like.
Dolemite - An absolute classic but can be hard to watch given how extremely cheap it is. Some of the funniest moments of the whole series though they’re mostly unintentional.
The Human Tornado - Basically Dolemite if it had a good budget. The jokes hit so good on purpose this time. Notably, both Dolemite movies are also a critique on how racist cops are, including commentary on planting drugs and assuming every black guy with money got it illegally.
Petey Wheetstraw: The Devil’s Son in Law - A straight up comedy through and through. Absolutely nothing deeper on this one. Petey Wheetstraw makes a deal with the devil and spends the 2nd half of the movie trying to get out of it. Purely stupid fun.
Disco Godfather - A weirdly intense yet still funny breakdown on inner city drug problems and how rich people will poison local cities with drugs for their own benefit.
One really funny thing about all of these movies is that the main actor Rudy Ray Moore owns a night club in every single one and half of them include multiple minutes of his actual stand up routines.
Black Dynamite.
It’s one of the funniest movies of all time, but I don’t have a DVD player.
“I’m declaring war on anyone who sells drugs to the community.”
“But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community!”
This is one of the greatest lines in cinematic history, hands down.
HA! I THREW THAT BEFORE I LEFT THE MOON!

I never saw them but I’ll look them up. Which is the best one?
