Black Dynamite
A laugh-out-loud hilarious and loving tribute to the blaxploitation movies of the 70’s. It never strays from trying to be as funny as it possibly can be, and it only occasionally ventures into silly Wayans Brothers territory. It is, for the most part, played skillfully and refreshingly straight. Solid props to co-writer and star Michael Jai White for delivering all the bad karate, bad-ass posturing and sex-god movie platitudes with astronautical precision. It’s a masterwork of straight satire, an astute homage to the groundbreaking genre, and a really fucking funny night at the movies.
