The Seventies was my time. It was a hell of a time. And the word "Brother" meant something. The guy who rhymes is spoofing a character named "Dolemite."
You can absolutely have this kind of humor. It's just a matter of whether or not it's all in good fun. Like with Mel Brookes and Blazing Saddles. You just have to ignore the whiney liberal white saviors. They act like they speak on behalf of ALL black folks and those who rebuke them get racial slurs thrown at them like you wouldn't believe.
It is possibly the last, great parody movie made. And, with exception of Captain Kangaroo, stayed in its lane and reveled in it. No Friedberg and Seltzer pop-reference stuff here. I absolutely ADORE this movie.
lol edit - I'm just checking replies and I don't know why I commented "lol" couple days ago - it had to be a response to a different comment but accidentally got here. I love this movie. 100% agree with @kc1john
"Poor little bastard was still alive. His little Chinese legs were blown clean off! Still see his little shins & feet hanging from the ceiling fan across the hut. He was charred from his head down to his little Chinese knees. He tried to get up, but he fell over when what was left of his right leg broke off. As he laid there, flat on his face, he looked up at me. His little Chinese eyes burned right into my stomach, deep into my soul. He said something to me in Chinese like, 'Boo coo sow!', sounded like some cartoon shit. But I understood it to be a question that he was asking me. And I don't have to know how to speak Chinese to know what that question was. 'Why, Black Dynamite? Why?'"
Sholanda : My momma said MY daddy's name was Black Dynamite. Brickwilla : So did MY MOMMA! Black Dynamite : Err, uhh, hush up little girls. A lot of cats have that name. 👀.... 👀.....🤨🤨🤨
My sister gave me this Dvd and said watch this before you have to work. I watched the 1st 10 minutes, stopped it and called my best friend. "come to my place right now, I need someone to watch this movie with me." Took us 3 hours to finish it from pausing and laughing.
12:46 man my mom (R.I.P.) laughed so hard at that part she had tears rolling down her face. I had to pause the movie for a couple minutes for her to gather herself. Just the fact that they replaced the stuntman was freaking hilarious!!
- "I'm declaring war on anyone who sells drugs to the community!" - "But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community!" The Nerdist podcast with the cast of this film is almost as much fun as the film itself.
That one guy @15:02 who say "Sarcastically, I'm in charge" is reading the script directions along with his lines. The joke is that the script is telling him to say "I'm in charge" in a sarcastic voice, but he mistakenly reads the script direction as part of his spoken dialogue. He does this again later as well. That's what I love about this movie, you always discover something else each time you watch it.
Bullhorn is a reference to Dolemite, from the rhyming, to the fight scenes where it's obvious he never makes contact when throwing a punch. Look up Dolemite, cause the clips on youtube show just about all the things you are seeing in Black Dynamite, from the boom mic dropping into view, to the fight scenes where the actors throw themselves back 10 seconds before a punch is thrown.
I'm not black but I was 10 years old in 1971. I have seen quite a few Blaxploitation movies then and since then. They are of course uneven but generally I enjoy their cool "vibe." Sure maybe they exploited the very real socioeconomic problems that American inner cities were going through but I never thought I was watching a documentary. They did, through entertainment, actually make me aware of those basic problems even though they didn't suggest too may realistic solutions. As to their low-budget quality let's all remember there were quite a few "white" drive -in movies made then as well, usually involving biker gangs and blonde babes. It was a great time for youthful low-budget cinema across the ethno-cultural board. These movies all have a charm and I have a great affection to this day for their spirit. Black Dynamite, though it is a send-up, also shows a lot of love and affection towards those movies and their times. For more send-ups please check out the Dolemite and Funkenstein sketches from MAD TV!
"Sarcastically, I'm in charge." The actor in that scene is supposed to be reading his script instructions by accident. 🤣"The militants turn, startled."
I am a big fan of Undercover Brother, but Imissed the original release of this film. I found it after I discovering that "They Cloned Tyrone" has a number of callbacks to this film. I am so glad I found it.🙂
I first saw this at an L.A. Film Festival not long after its debut at Sundance in 2009 at the Ford Amphitheatre. The audience was bursting out in loud laughter the whole film!
This to me is a classic. I need everyone to watch this once in life. “Euphoria stfu, I know that was you, I ain’t even gotta look. I should send your ass back to Crenshaw P”
Oh, wow!!! THANKS most definitely for this!!!! LOL!!!! I don't think I've ever seen this!!! On the list!!! (Salli Richardson always makes me think of "Gargoyles"--she was Detective Elisa Maza, the female lead!!!)
Actually Key and Peele did blacksploitation like this on mad tv all the time. It was called Funkenstein. Wheni saw I saw Nicole sullivan in the movie I actually thought it was a mad tv movie. Alot of their jokes were in the film. If you ever watch the mad t.v. Spishak commercials they are constantly switching out the actors ... its fricken hilarious
If you haven't seen it, the 1975 movie "Dolomite" by Rudy Ray Moore, was probably the main inspiration for this movie. It was made on a shoe string budget, Rudy basically used his limited martial arts skills and pretty much wrote it as he filmed. They even made a "biopic" called "Dolomite is my name" starting Eddie Murphy, that isn't too bad. Oh and while not in the same vain, Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" staring Pam Grier, is great too.
'Did he kick them off and they boomeranged back?' 🤣🤣🤣 That gag had me laughing so hard I missed the next few minutes and had to go back. When it comes back around 😉 with Fiendish Dr Wu's boomerang knife and "Ha ha! I threw that 💩 before I walked in the room!!!" I had the same reaction 🤣🤣🤣
The real smack in the pool hall, the anger by the smacked actor and the continuation of the scene with a different actor has got to be among the best moments in cinematic history.
I’ve seen you guys laugh hard, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard y’all giggle uncontrollably like some jive ass 🦃 🦃 🇹🇷. 😃 This might be my favorite reaction. The laughter is contagious.
There have been a few decent homages to blaxploitation cinema. Comedies such as I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and Undercover Brother are among the best, but Black Dynamite is the platinum standard , not just a parody of the plot clichés, but also the low budget production values such as visible boom microphones and poor editing. By far, this was the best reaction to this movie that I've seen so far. Your knowledge of the various actors appearing throughout the movie shows that you two are definitely students of cinema and have enormous respect for the craft.
Y'all. I saw this in the theater, in DC at a midnight show with a big group of friends. The theater was PACKED. I had never experienced anything like this before or since, as far as audience energy goes, not even Endgame! The MOST fun. My stomach hurt from laughing. When the car door got stuck in the grass during his getaway, I've never felt like more a part of my Generation than I did when the laughter hit the theater like a tidal wave. Like, we ALL remembered that shit happening. Seeing it in a movie like this was too much, most of the movie felt this way, but for some reason, that car door gag hit everyone different. What a great memory. And what fun to enjoy seeing you two watch this and get similarly bowled over by the genius-level idiotic niche humor in this movie.
This is an absolute Cult Classic! Great cast, score/soundtrack, satire, camera work, tons of quotable lines. ( Suggestion: Make it a double-header with "Hobo With a Shotgun". )
Great reaction, brothers. Glad to see y’all got around to this absolute masterpiece of a film. I also appreciated your take and a bit of the history lesson for those that don’t know about the blaxploitation genre.
This movie is in my top 5 favorite comedies of all time. The jokes are so self aware and is perfect in how over the top it is. Great reaction to a modern classic.
P.S. I think you *should* do a weekly Blaxploitation/Karate Movie Day (for Saturday afternoons--when else? :)) but you should mix it up with the docudramas--"Dragon," "Baadasss," "Dolomite is My Name" with Eddie Murphy, etc.. so you can explain the whole era. (Would you risk doing "Spook/Door" or "Five/Blackhand Side?" Hmmm.) If you go the edutainment route one day a week, don't go halfway! Right or not at all, baby! LOL!!!
I feel like black cinema storytelling changes within every twenty years or so. The seventies had blaxploitation, the nineties had hood movies, and the 2010s saw a rise of what people call slave movies. For me, I would love to see afrofuturism take off as the next new thing. It's taken off in books, and since 99% of Hollywood stories are based off of novels I think it's only a matter of time before we get that genre.
I love how the moments with the "militants", they are playing "bad actors" that read the action queues like "The militant turns startled" and "Sarcastically". Those were supposed to be their actions or tone not their lines. They pulled it off perfectly for a supposed low budget film that didn't bother with second takes or edits.
Yeah, Dynamite and Major Payne would sure get along real nice! Also: rewatching this gem now, I just keep seeing 99's 'young Captain Holt' instead... haha
This is right up there with Airplane! and Holy Grail for best spoof movie ever. "I'm going to shake that smack outta you!" "Stop it, Black Dynamite, we've tried that. Nothing works." 🤣🤣🤣
As a childhood suburban aficionado of the vast array of great blacksploitation classics which came to my theaters as a kid (I was into horror and superheroes, so "Blackula" held the highest regard of an 8 year old me), this is by far the best parody of the genre I've seen. It has levels of comedy, including obvious reveals of the stunt coordinator/trainer, first scene actually shot, etc. And I don't think there's a guy out there, especially the ones who are disadvantaged by nature, to whom the idea of getting a Little Richard is not absolutely terrifying. That's fiendish *and* diabolical. Oh, and Nixon was the only person to get real hits on Mr. Dynamite. After all, he was the Man.
Blaxploitation spoofs at its finest is the Wayans Brothers with "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka". This movie is legit hilarious but lacks some of the emotional hooks of the old school spoof.
A perfect parody/homage, made by dudes who know and love classic blaxploitation. They shot it on 16mm color reversal stock, to give it that authentic feel. The meta jokes of the Black Dynamite actor getting more fed up with and confused by the shoddy production values and amateurish character actors are CRAZY. 😆 And I don't mean MJW, but the actor he's playing...former NFL running back Ferrante Jones...who's playing Black Dynamite. This parody has layers...hell, it has LORE. 😆
What makes Black Dynamite both hilarious and depressing is that you get the feeling that Michael Jai White could only have come up with all of this stuff based on things he'd actually seen happen on movie sets. 😂The boom mic accidentally being lowered into frame; the actor accidentally reading his stage directions like they were dialogue; the stuntman being replaced after the actor hit him; etc. 🤣
Have you seen Rekkai's and my Deep Dive? - th-cam.com/video/j54fzJwHcaE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this bro!
The Seventies was my time. It was a hell of a time. And the word "Brother" meant something.
The guy who rhymes is spoofing a character named "Dolemite."

“But Black Dynamite. I sell drugs in the community.”
You have correcly identified the best line among many killer lines. Good work sir. ("The militants turn, startled!" is arguably my second fave.)
@@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures "I threw that shit before I walked into the room!" is pretty great too.
"Who dares interrupt my kung fu?!"
“Sarcastically, I’m in charge” is my favorite one 😂
"Show you this picture..."
Black Dynamite is a comedy masterpiece. Needs more appreciation.
Yup, happy to see it getting the deserved appreciation thanks to reaction channels like this.
It is possibly the last, great parody movie made. And, with exception of Captain Kangaroo, stayed in its lane and reveled in it. No Friedberg and Seltzer pop-reference stuff here. I absolutely ADORE this movie.
lol
edit - I'm just checking replies and I don't know why I commented "lol" couple days ago - it had to be a response to a different comment but accidentally got here. I love this movie. 100% agree with @kc1john
There was a time when I watched this three times in a row. 😂🖤
Super under-rated comedy and MJW's performance was incredible.
One of my favorite jokes
"As he laid there, face down, he looked up at me"
*cuts to a kid on his back*
"Poor little bastard was still alive. His little Chinese legs were blown clean off! Still see his little shins & feet hanging from the ceiling fan across the hut. He was charred from his head down to his little Chinese knees. He tried to get up, but he fell over when what was left of his right leg broke off. As he laid there, flat on his face, he looked up at me. His little Chinese eyes burned right into my stomach, deep into my soul. He said something to me in Chinese like, 'Boo coo sow!', sounded like some cartoon shit. But I understood it to be a question that he was asking me. And I don't have to know how to speak Chinese to know what that question was. 'Why, Black Dynamite? Why?'"
*Sarcastically* “I’m in charge!”. He was reading directly from the script!🤣🤣
Holy shit I just got that, I have seen this movie at least 100 times.
This is definitely one of those "you have to watch it twice" moments. It rare that people catch that joke the first time.
Also earlier in the scene the dude stands up facing the camera and says "Militant turns startled" and it's supposed to be stage directions.
I love how Michael Jai White looks at the camera/director on that part too 😂😂
“I threw that shit before I walked in the room!”😂
This is one of the funniest movies ever 🔥🤣👍
The fact that outta all the lines I came here to say this same exact line must be smoking the same ish
So I play a lot of shooters and I quote that every time I throw a grenade
That little "HAHA!" before it too. xD
Oh man! I just said the same thing. Funny AF!
"Euphoria shut the F**k Up, i know that was you I ain't even gotta look..." That whole thing is my favorite line in a movie of favorite lines!
You want to go back to Crenshaw Pete (R.I.P) with his hot ass coat hangers!
I’m crying 😂
This is an underrated classic that seems to be having a resurgence due to reaction videos like this! I'm headed to Patreon for the full deal.
Have a ball out in those Patreon streets. We had a great time making this one.
So what you're saying is, it's
DYNOMITE! DYNOMITE!
How is underrated ? It spawned a cartoon series and comic books
It also teaches you important lessons. Like never interrupt a man when he’s doing his kung fu.
Also, donuts don't wear alligator shoes.
Sholanda : My momma said MY daddy's name was Black Dynamite.
Brickwilla : So did MY MOMMA!
Black Dynamite : Err, uhh, hush up little girls. A lot of cats have that name.
👀.... 👀.....🤨🤨🤨

I experienced the Blaxploitation era firsthand. This was a fun look back.😉
We might need to pull you to the side and ask some questions. 😂
- "I'm declaring war on anyone who sells drugs to the community!"
- "But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community!"
The Nerdist podcast with the cast of this film is almost as much fun as the film itself.
Literally one of my fave lines up there with
“Little Richard make you go whooo!!! Make you go whoo!!!”
My favourite is the Panther who says everything in the script. 'Sarcastically, I'm in charge!' 'Start a family, show him the picture'
That one guy @15:02 who say "Sarcastically, I'm in charge" is reading the script directions along with his lines. The joke is that the script is telling him to say "I'm in charge" in a sarcastic voice, but he mistakenly reads the script direction as part of his spoken dialogue. He does this again later as well.

“HA HA! I threw that shit before I walked in the room!!”Has to be one of the funniest lines in comedy movie history!😂😂😂
“Kung Fu Treachery” is now apart of my limited lexicon of words 😂😂
"Sarcastically, I'm in charge."
The actor in that scene is supposed to be reading his script instructions by accident. 🤣"The militants turn, startled."
First time I watched this movie, I thought that it was just some kind of smart alek expression lol.
"Yeah... shows picture!"
The militant reading his stage directions is hilarious.
@44excalibur bruh thank u! That make it that much more hilarious 😂
This movie has so many quotable lines 😂
For years we've been saying the lines.
Michael Jai White has that "Supersoldier Serum" build
Deadpool & Black Dynamite.
Hollywood, make it happen...
Well MJW was in universal soldier 3.
@@CannonRaw he really needs to play Black Dynamite as a guest character in Mortal Kombat. "DIE-NO-MITE! DIE-NO-MITE!"
This is one of my favorite comedies 😂 Glad y’all finally watched it!
I am a big fan of Undercover Brother, but Imissed the original release of this film. I found it after I discovering that "They Cloned Tyrone" has a number of callbacks to this film.
I am so glad I found it.🙂
I have never heard of 'They Cloned Tyrone' but it has such an amazing title I think I have to check it out now.
I first saw this at an L.A. Film Festival not long after its debut at Sundance in 2009 at the Ford Amphitheatre. The audience was bursting out in loud laughter the whole film!
"Send you back to Crenshaw Pete with his hot a$$ coat hangers" makes me roll every time.
Who else wants a Crenshaw Pete movie?😂
That kung fu treachery will get you every time.
One of the greatest, if not the greatest, comedy movies of all time!
When they did that stunt double change I cried laughing 😂😂
@27:58 when the fiendish, Dr. Wu, had a 🥷🏾 moment 😂
Saw this fresh in 2009 and have been watching regularly ever since. This movie will never get enough shine imo.
This to me is a classic. I need everyone to watch this once in life.
“Euphoria stfu, I know that was you, I ain’t even gotta look. I should send your ass back to Crenshaw P”
Yalls reaction to this movie has me in tears just as much as the movie itself. Black Dynamite is a CLASSIC
Moon Cricket?
Dayum, that's some cold azz jive turkey type sheeit.
I don't think I'll ever get over moon cricket. That's wild to me.
That's that barrel aged racism!
I’m so glad people are beginning to appreciate this movie as much as it deserves. Favorite comedy by far
"I threw that shit before I walked in the room!!" is an all-timer of a line
I've seen this movie easily 20 times since it came out, it never gets old 🤣🤣
So many great little tributes to Black Belt Jones and the legend Jim Kelly.
I am so happy people are reacting to this movie. I love it. Now that you watched the movie, go watch the cartoon, that was some wild shit.
Oh, wow!!! THANKS most definitely for this!!!! LOL!!!! I don't think I've ever seen this!!! On the list!!! (Salli Richardson always makes me think of "Gargoyles"--she was Detective Elisa Maza, the female lead!!!)

This movie is a fucking masterpiece. Not even an issue.
They jumped that shark before the movie even started! :) One of the best damn comedies ever to come out
MJW killed it! This genre needs to be resuscitated and this is a beautiful start by MJW.

Outlaw Johnny Black just came out within the past year 😂😂😂 please react to that! Michael Jai White was in that as well lol
This movie is in my top 5 favorite comedies of all time. The jokes are so self aware and is perfect in how over the top it is. Great reaction to a modern classic.
Modern Day Classic!! Thank You for reviewing
Michael Jai White has a new one like this, but a Western called Outlaw Johnny Black
There was a Black Dynamite cartoon with the same voice actors
Also, kicking the door 🚪down on Grandma, no, not Nanna he'll no 😂 that was hilarious
P.S.

27:08 The Fiendish Dr Wu's got style because he's portrayed by Roger Yuan.
Dude's a legendary actor/stuntman..
The Black Dynamite cartoon was just as funny. Don't know if you guys would react to that as well but it's worth checking out.
"AH HA!! I THREW THAT SH** BEFORE I ENTERED THE ROOM!!"
I feel like black cinema storytelling changes within every twenty years or so. The seventies had blaxploitation, the nineties had hood movies, and the 2010s saw a rise of what people call slave movies. For me, I would love to see afrofuturism take off as the next new thing. It's taken off in books, and since 99% of Hollywood stories are based off of novels I think it's only a matter of time before we get that genre.
Very few people catch when he sais "the militant turned startled" he is reading the actuon portion of his script as if it were a line
This is top 10 comedies ever! super smart on many levels
watched it today for the first time, really funny
I love how the moments with the "militants", they are playing "bad actors" that read the action queues like "The militant turns startled" and "Sarcastically". Those were supposed to be their actions or tone not their lines. They pulled it off perfectly for a supposed low budget film that didn't bother with second takes or edits.

Also: rewatching this gem now, I just keep seeing 99's 'young Captain Holt' instead... haha
That's Kim Whitley not Kim Coles.
Jeeziecreezie it's been YEARS since I've seen this movie! Lawd i gotta watch my copy again.
But i'm'a need a full bottle before i start
7:03 If someone lays "flat on their face," how can they look up at you?
This is right up there with Airplane! and Holy Grail for best spoof movie ever. "I'm going to shake that smack outta you!" "Stop it, Black Dynamite, we've tried that. Nothing works." 🤣🤣🤣

I didn't want to watch this movie cause I thought it looked dumb but this movie is actually brilliant.
"Hush up lil girl, a lot of cats have that name."
Blaxploitation spoofs at its finest is the Wayans Brothers with "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka". This movie is legit hilarious but lacks some of the emotional hooks of the old school spoof.
i love how everyone {even his mama} call him Dynamite or Black Dynamite..one of my 10 favorite comedy films

The meta jokes of the Black Dynamite actor getting more fed up with and confused by the shoddy production values and amateurish character actors are CRAZY. 😆 And I don't mean MJW, but the actor he's playing...former NFL running back Ferrante Jones...who's playing Black Dynamite. This parody has layers...hell, it has LORE. 😆
What makes Black Dynamite both hilarious and depressing is that you get the feeling that Michael Jai White could only have come up with all of this stuff based on things he'd actually seen happen on movie sets. 😂The boom mic accidentally being lowered into frame; the actor accidentally reading his stage directions like they were dialogue; the stuntman being replaced after the actor hit him; etc. 🤣
