What can I say, Black Dynamite was what I expected and more. The perfect spoof of the blaxploitation films of the 1970s with some of the best lines I’ve heard in a movie all year.

However the theater I saw it in was all but empty, so I can’t see this becoming a big hit. You can’t just be familiar with blaxploitation you need to be a fan to get many of the jokes in Black Dynamite. But if you’re a fan of classics like Shaft, Super Fly, or Foxy Brown you should definitely see Black Dynamite.

Just saw a preview for Black Dynamite, a spoof of blaxploitation films of the 1970s. I’ve seen spoofs of them before but the previews for Black Dynamite looks pretty good. The great dialog, poor stunts, and karate to top it off.

Opens next weekend.

Foxy Brown is a great example of merging genres, granted the genres aren’t that different – women in prison and blaxploitation. They even throw in the classic baby carriage in traffic. Who cares about the plot this is all genre.
