Product Description
When former CIA agent Black Dynamite's brother is killed, he starts a one-man war against drug dealers and The Man.
Amazon.com
When drug dealers take out his kid brother, ex-CIA agent Black Dynamite (Spawn's Michael Jai White) makes like a karate-chopping dynamo to track them down. Armed with a .44 Magnum, a set of nunchucks, and a sexy 'stache, Big D starts out in the City of Angels, where his buddies Cream Corn (In Living Color's Tommy Davidson), a hustler, and Bullhorn (co-writer Byron Minns), a club owner, offer to lend a hand. The deeper Dynamite digs, the more endangered his life becomes as he uncovers a conspiracy to keep the black man down by flooding the streets with malt liquor and filling the country's orphanages with smack. Since the smooth operator has a way with the ladies, he also enlists Gloria (I Am Legend's Salli Richardson-Whitfield), a socially-conscious soul sister, to aid in his clean-up campaign. Director Scott Sanders and White, who co-wrote the script, collaborated on 1998's Thick as Thieves, and their chemistry shines through. If the supporting cast can be a little wooden, White gives Shaft's Richard Roundtree a run for the money with his cool-cat charisma. Set in 1972, Black Dynamite doesn't just act like a movie from the Superfly era, it looks and sounds like one, too, courtesy Adrian Younge's old-school funk score, Shawn Maurer's 16mm cinematography, a cartoon credit sequence, and some carefully choreographed boom mic appearances. And dig those crazy cameos: Arsenio Hall as Tasty Freeze, Brian McKnight as Sweet Meat, and NBA veteran John Salley as Kotex. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 Black Dynamite September 6, 2010
Leila Tassano (Oakland, CA USA)
My son wanted this movie for his birthday. He was happy to receive it. I can't say how it was because I didn't see the movie. He has seen it before and thought it was one he wanted for his collection. So I guess it is a good one.
Funniest spoof since "Airplane" August 11, 2010
Mint Prozac (Chesapeake, OH United States)
This film is hilarious. It hits all the tropes of blacksploitation films. Go ahead a buy it, because if you watch it once you'll want to own it.
My new favorite movie! Dynomite!! August 7, 2010
Baroness East (East Coast, USA)
I haven't watched that many movies more than once, but I have seen Black Dynamite at least 20 times now. It is so hilarious I laugh harder every time.
Watch the extra features on the DVD cause they give you insight on some parts of the movie that weren't meant to be funny, but came out funny by accident.
Awesome Movie July 27, 2010
J. Page
This movie is freaking hilarious. It was originally written to just be a joke trailer, but then it evolved into something great. Extremely quotable and just all around entertaining. It drags a little in the middle but otherwise worth your time. POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!
You know a movie is good when the First Lady gets pimped slapped.
 Couple of really funny moments, BUT... July 25, 2010
Wayne Kuban (Goodyear, AZ United States)
I expected a little more from this movie. They did a pretty good job recreating the look and feel of a 1970s movie, but it just never quite makes the grade as a finished product. I won't give any of it away, but there are some good scenes, while others are just too staged, drawn out, or over the top.
