 Rated 1 out of 5
Not the best....but I understand the history
I love Blaxploitation films and having not seen Dolemite I got it out at the local video store, having now watched the film It’’s the only time I’’ve actually felt white watching a Blaxploitation movie. The film is anti-white as such but I feel you really do have to be black to get most of the jokes etc..
The film overall is pretty boring and the acting not the best but I do understand why many black people love this movie out of all the Blaxploitation films. I collect these movies but I’’m afraid this one will not be in my collection. Rated 5 out of 5!
If you crave action, this is your next attraction...
Rudy Ray Moore is a great role model. Not only does he have the superhuman ability to be at least 10 times nastier than any other man or woman alive, but he proved to the world that you can make the most awesome movie in the world with a budget that is around 20 percent (or less) of what was normally used in the 70’’s. Rudy (the big bad Dolemite himself) is hardly a master thespian, but yet every line he puts out in this film is golden, thanks to his keen thinking to add racial slurs in his sentences, or to just simply shout "MotherF@#KA!" at the end of it, with a great burst of volume for emphasis. Not only can Dolemite swear, but he is gifted with horrible kung fu. Who knew a slow-moving kick could send a 250-pound man flying into the open trunk of your car? I didn’’t, not until I saw this film, anyway. Another thing I never knew is that about every other film I’’ve seen in my life has taken something from this movie, or given it a nod in some way. I encourage everyone reading these words of mine to pick up this film, watch it, and be amazed at how much it will change your life...for the better.- Rated 5 out of 5!
No doubt, one of the worst movies ever
And like all the other reviews said, one of the funniest things you’’ll see. What slays me is how fat this guy is. I mean, he’’s supposed to be this kung fu expert or whatever, and the guy wears a cumberbund to hide his gut!...Just having boom mikes visible doesn’’t automatically make for an Ed Wood style comedy (check out "Walking Tall", the police station parking lot scene). But there are so many foul-ups along with the bad acting and stupid dialogue, that the entire effect is just a howl from beginning to end. Great for parties.
