I met Rudy Ray Moore in some random bbq shack in new jersey. He had been doing performances in Philadelphia. He was being driven around in an old volvo with several replaced body panels. After a brief chat he just said, "the old gray mare ain't what she used to be" and walked away leaning on his cane. He deserved way more than things seemed to be for him at that moment.
No bigbuck comicons back then. Imagine if the time frames were different. He could have become another indy darling, Like Bruce Campbell. Who knows what would have been....
I hate when people say, "things were better back in my day." But if their argument was 'you have Will Smith, I had Rudy Ray Moore' I wouldn't have a good rebuttal. Except "Shut up."
his managers allow him to make it rain all day in the toll booth as long as he puts the money back in the drawer at the end of his shift and doesn't masturbate in front of passing motorists.

I watched this movie before I watched this video and there are actually quite a few dope shots with the camera. Snappy zoom-ins, rotating camera shots, tracking shots, this movies cinematography/videography is actually great. This shot of the flaming body is dope also 29:40
I recently got a book about old west folktales, and a lot of them were about clever assholes tricking the devil. For some reason, this movie feels like more modern version of those. The weird tall tale aspects, like being born at like 8 years old, and the catchy name, really remind me of those kinds of stories.
Actually I think this is a retelling of the East African epic of Mwindo, complete with magic cane (flyswatter), being born a grown child, and the trip to hell to fix things.

A cool Dolemite story from Mike Flores (posted on the SubGenius Film Society page) "It was 1975 and I went to a grindhouse in Chicago to see Dolemite. Rudy was going to be there and he was. In those days you couldn't get tickets in advance, you waited in line in groups for each upcoming show. I got into line and a Chicago cop walked over to me and motioned for me to walk over to him. I did and he told me not to go into the theaters with all those "n's" and in those days nobody said "n word", they spelled it out. I said I was fine and went back into line. Rudy was walking up and down the line making jokes at the people in line (" your so fat..., etc) like Don Rickles on steroids. He walked over to me and asked what the cop said. He asked me my name. After I told him he said very loudly, "This is my friend Mike. Ya'll show him a good time". He then told me to meet him in the lobby after the show. We became friends and I would interview him for the zine of The Chicago Psychotronic Film Society IT'S ONLY A MOVIE years later. In the interview he praised Eddie Murphy, who is now playing him in DOLEMITE IS MY NAME. He was the comedian at my wedding party in Las Vegas, the marriage didn't last but my friendship with him did. He lived to see young white people fall in love with his work. He did a concert in Chicago and people were saying his routines back to him. It was a market he never thought he would reach."
That's so awesome. I'm sure some may doubt the legitimacy but I beleive it. Way too much info, to be a falsehood Do you have any memorabilia from back then? It would be cool to donate some things, to a planet Hollywood type of place! I'm sure he's got fanclubs that would love to keep his memory alive, although Eddie Murphy just assured that. For better or worse. Lol I'm just glad he seems like a cool kat, in person. Sometimes it's better to not meet your favorite..... Insert famous person here. Thanks for sharing the stories. Cheers from Canada
I believe this is the best movie ever covered on BotW. Creative vision, intentional comedy that still lands, filmmakers clearly having fun. It's genuinely a great watch

One of my uncle's (r.i.p.) was watching this movie one day. I was about 13 or 14 (47 now) I heard some of it from another room and went to ask if I could watch it too. I and my younger siblings, cousins, friends, whoever came over... watched that movie at least once a day for an entire summer. Lol. For many reasons, it's one of the funniest movies ever made to me. I'm still watching these days. It's also funny to watch these guys, from a different era and from a different culture, laugh as hard as we did/do. Simply put: Rudy Ray Moore was just flat out funny. No matter what he did. Glad you guys saw that and did a show about Peteyyy Wheat!Strawww!!! Lol.
A good friend and I watched this last night. He was really resistant to it at first but after the first scene we were glued to the screen losing our minds laughing. An incredible film.
When they show him laughing after the orgy he's doing a really great Vincent Price-style cackle. Rudy Ray Moore may of been in schlock but he's clearly a natural performer.
I dont think you can group him with the likes of Neil Breen or Tommy Wiseau, he is actually a very talented performer, maybe not that good at movie making, but definetly talented.
In all likelihood Rudy Ray Moore is a big Shakespeare aficionado. Petey Wheatstraw snaps his scepter ala Prospero at the end of The Tempest, signifying Petey turning his back on the world of magic and agreeing to re-enter the natural world.
As a big fan of Black Dynamite who hasn't seen much of the original blacksploitation source material, this video was very illuminating and entertaining.
Jack: "Honey, should I wear my avocado shirt for the next BotW?" Jack's wife: "DON'T wear that avocado shirt!" Jack: "Yeah, Imma wear that avocado shirt..."
Lil Waynes name ones from his father who was named Dwayne. He was named Dwayne JR. but as a child became nicknamed "Lil" Wayne. Never outgrew it because he never got taller then 5'4.
Wayne was his father’s nickname, which he picked up. Also he was small for his age. But his father was Big Wayne and he was Lil’ Wayne. Lil’ Jon made turn down for what. Lil Wayne, A Milli. Check it out. It’s a nice rap song.
I am so glad Mike mentioned the difference between production design graffiti and real graffiti. I've been waiting for someone else to take notice & mention that for years now. RLM never fails to go deep.
I appreciate Mikes reference there to Peter Jackson who wrote several books just to flesh out the lore of his famous Lord Of The Rings films. Mike knows his stuff.
I cant decide if the avacado shirt is low key stylish, or jack is just wearing dad shirts on the regular, and accidentally landed a good one. Style has to be on purpose.

Yeah I thought the same thing. Also it was the wrong kid. He was supposed to be punishing the bigger kid for running in the street but at one point he gets confused and grabs the smaller kid in the white shirt.
I didn't get Mike's "a head of its time" pun, so I was completely with Jack. then when Jay explained the pun I laughed hysterically. Brilliant editing job by Jay.
Man im almost 64 years old, I been watching Rudy ray Moore since I was a youngster!!!🤣🤣🤣 first time I seen Human Tornado 🌪, rest in peace Real Dolomite ..
Reading the invisible man by Ralph Ellison and came across this line spoken to the main character: "I'll verse you but I won't curse you - my name is Peter Wheatstraw, I'm the devil's only son-in-law, so roll em!" Don't remember if the guys referenced if the character Petey Wheatsraw was taken from this novel but it appears to have been.
"DON'T THINK" is perhaps one of the best takes and line deliveries i've ever seen. A perfect reaction shot. Same with Rudy going 'shut up' in the best voice.
I remember watching Petey Wheatstraw mistakingly thinking it was a biopic about the musician from the 1930's & 1940's called Peetie Wheatstraw.. They're not related apparently.
Just got home from putting my cat down to find that this uploaded, like...right when it happened. idk. thanks for everything over the years RLM, it's meant and means a lot.
I saw Dolomite many years ago, but really don’t remember it. So watching this I am just now realizing that Bullhorn in Black Dynamite is based off of Rudy Ray Moore! Lol.
Black Dynamite was a mix of Jim Brown and Jim Kelly, Bullhorn was specifically based on Rudy Ray Moore...then on the cartoon, Bullhorn meets the actual Rudy Ray Moore in one episode.
I hope you all realize how funny the scene was of Petey combing the little boy's hair until he cries. Unkempt afros can kink and curl up to the point that combing them with a pic feels like you're pulling out hair.
It was pretty funny seeing white dudes from Wisconsin witness an adult picking out the nap of a childs fro. Black hair care is a nightmare from what I've seen.
If I had that kind of hair, I'd honestly just go with dreadlocks. Brushing and washing my straight long hair is a pain in the ass as it is, and I'm too lazy to deal with even that properly.
I have an original theatrical poster of petey wheatstraw. My dad found it on the side of the road in front of an old projectionist's house. His wife threw it away.
Rudy Ray passed in a nursing home, and his family had to ask for Target gift cards and other items to support him in his last months and days. I thought that was pretty sad.
Fun fact: My family is from Ft. Smith and one of Rudy Moore's male relatives worked at my Great Grandpa's company (He was one of the first to hire and pay African American's the same as white people, yes, in the south) and my Grandma would occasionally babysit a young Rudy Ray Moore.
I met Rudy Ray Moore in some random bbq shack in new jersey. He had been doing performances in Philadelphia. He was being driven around in an old volvo with several replaced body panels. After a brief chat he just said, "the old gray mare ain't what she used to be" and walked away leaning on his cane. He deserved way more than things seemed to be for him at that moment.
Damn man that sucks, he seems like such a cool guy
Still it seems like he radiates charisma even then, but yeah B Movie fame or infamy rather is often not kind to the stars of that industry it seems.

Yeah I thought the same thing. Also it was the wrong kid. He was supposed to be punishing the bigger kid for running in the street but at one point he gets confused and grabs the smaller kid in the white shirt.

Some say the ghost of Rich Evans haunts the abandoned Showbiz Pizza Place.
Funnily enough the guy who played Rudy Ray Moore in Mad TV is also famous for his Eddie Murphy impression
What a crazy universe we live in!
Jack has reached peak dad-bod.
And the shirt to go with it!
When you said Darkman logic for a split second I didn't realize it was a movie.
I didn't get Mike's "a head of its time" pun, so I was completely with Jack.
then when Jay explained the pun I laughed hysterically.
Brilliant editing job by Jay.
Jack's faces throughout this entire video are absolutely perfect.
I also need that "SHUT UP" clip asap.
Charlie Murphy would've been the best Rudy Ray Moore...
Absolutely this.
R.I.P.
This is true and sad.
"Darkness!"
Unity...
Leroy Daniels & Ernest Mayhand played Leroy & Skillet again as recurring characters in the 2nd, and 3rd seasons of the 70's sitcom, "Sanford & Son".
Man im almost 64 years old, I been watching Rudy ray Moore since I was a youngster!!!🤣🤣🤣 first time I seen Human Tornado 🌪, rest in peace Real Dolomite ..
Rudy Ray Moore was unique personality . Remember “Put your weight on it” ? He did and made it a track on his record! He did not miss a trick.
Reading the invisible man by Ralph Ellison and came across this line spoken to the main character: "I'll verse you but I won't curse you - my name is Peter Wheatstraw, I'm the devil's only son-in-law, so roll em!" Don't remember if the guys referenced if the character Petey Wheatsraw was taken from this novel but it appears to have been.
"DON'T THINK" is perhaps one of the best takes and line deliveries i've ever seen. A perfect reaction shot. Same with Rudy going 'shut up' in the best voice.
Rudy Ray Moore's schtick was used for a character in Black Dynamite named Bullhorn.
"ONE THING I WILL SAY TODAY,
BULHORN WAS FUNNY ALL THE WAY!" 😎
Let everybody know and suckers be warned that this is the outcome when you mess with Bullhorn!
@@shelbyvillerules9962 "Let this be a warning to you all, mess with the Bull, you get the Horns!"...
Lol I'm having fun here.
They also reuse the egg joke in Petey Wheatstraw
Oh he a corn fed fool with a lot of muscle mass, now it's time for bullhorn to get up in that ass.
you know if Rich Evens ever actually dies no one is gonna believe it.
emphasis on if
I like the special guests every once in a while, but the chemistry really is better just with the RLM guys
True, though I feel Colin fits in well enough that he’s basically one of them.
"Take that Jim Carrey you psychopath." AHAHA
21:36
I remember watching Petey Wheatstraw mistakingly thinking it was a biopic about the musician from the 1930's & 1940's called Peetie Wheatstraw.. They're not related apparently.
Just got home from putting my cat down to find that this uploaded, like...right when it happened. idk. thanks for everything over the years RLM, it's meant and means a lot.
Your cats burning in hell
damn it, now I'm walking around singing, "PEETTEEEYYY WHEEEATSTRAAAAWWW"
I had an epiphany that Rudy Ray Moore saying “a snake bit me and went off to die” is literally the Chuck Norris meme format
"Just like The Simularion."

I was hoping there'd be at least one mention of Black Dynamite.
Yeah I need an entire mockumentary of blacksploitation
Great film. Bullhorn, played by co-writer Byron Mann, is a tribute to Rudy Ray Moore.
Top 5 movies of all time
OriginalMasters you’re literally the only person in the world who thinks that
There would have been, but Rich Evans was selling drugs in the community. RIP.
"I forgot about Rich Evans" - Mike, 2019
Did anybody ever find out about Lil Wayne
24:52-26:20 is the best 90 seconds RLM have ever produced
I saw Dolomite many years ago, but really don’t remember it. So watching this I am just now realizing that Bullhorn in Black Dynamite is based off of Rudy Ray Moore! Lol.
I think it was kind of a mix of Moore, Jim Kelly, and touch of Roundtree.
r. decline I don’t know man. I may not know dolemite. But I do know Jim Kelly, the black Bruce Lee! And I don’t see any of him in Bullhorn.
The scene of little orphan Dudley dying in the Black Dynamite Different Strokes episode was also parodying the kid dying in this movie.
Black Dynamite was a mix of Jim Brown and Jim Kelly, Bullhorn was specifically based on Rudy Ray Moore...then on the cartoon, Bullhorn meets the actual Rudy Ray Moore in one episode.
Yay I'm early enough that I don't have to be late to work cause RLM dropped a new video.
Better late than never!
RLM fans work? This community has gone to shit.
@@brucemcclelland1919 Not willingly...
The delivery of 'Shut up' is the best acting to ever grace cinema
I hope you all realize how funny the scene was of Petey combing the little boy's hair until he cries. Unkempt afros can kink and curl up to the point that combing them with a pic feels like you're pulling out hair.
That sucks
he STILL made that kid drop his sucker!!
White ppl from Wisconsin have 0 clue bout any of that 🤣
It was pretty funny seeing white dudes from Wisconsin witness an adult picking out the nap of a childs fro. Black hair care is a nightmare from what I've seen.
If I had that kind of hair, I'd honestly just go with dreadlocks. Brushing and washing my straight long hair is a pain in the ass as it is, and I'm too lazy to deal with even that properly.
I'm gonna go watch some Rudy Ray Moore movies seems like my kinda films
I just finished Saló The 120 Days of Sodom and I really needed this video as a palate cleanser
Frizzurd I wasn’t prepared for how unbelievably soul crushing and nihilistic it is, which makes the gross stuff much more impactful
I have an original theatrical poster of petey wheatstraw. My dad found it on the side of the road in front of an old projectionist's house. His wife threw it away.
man, say what you will, the shots and framing on petey wheatstraw are great
Rudy Ray passed in a nursing home, and his family had to ask for Target gift cards and other items to support him in his last months and days. I thought that was pretty sad.
Aww... you brought it down. Reality sucks.
what the fuck
Awww Rudy noooo
^ i can find nothing supporting these claims
I’m not sure that’s true
I honestly think this is the best film this series has given the spotlight.
Genuinely entertaining on multiple levels
Jay has a seriously good memory.
Josh: I think th-
Everyone Ever: **PETEY WHEATSTRAW**
So glad that TH-cam recommends the actual movie so that I can rent it.
Let us hold a Tums Festival in remembrance of the dearly departed Rich Evans.
I love how a sneeze is never edited out in one of these.
Every onscreen appearance of Jack has him looking more and more like the dean from Community
5:36
"A fully-grown, like, teenage child"
what?
Is it just me, or is Rudy Ray Moore using iambic pentameter when he rhymes?
He's using iambic winometer
"It's funny because its so awkward and weird"
*Hard cut to Jack's shirt*
So sad that celebrity Rich Evans is dead. Good night sweet Prince....
In the arms of the Angels ~
That laugh from Jack with the hands on the table like that at 01:03 felt like a supervillain moment.
Fun fact: My family is from Ft. Smith and one of Rudy Moore's male relatives worked at my Great Grandpa's company (He was one of the first to hire and pay African American's the same as white people, yes, in the south) and my Grandma would occasionally babysit a young Rudy Ray Moore.
Sounds like your family was breaking through some barriers, RowdyRodimus
Everyone jamming out on the couches while the music is playing is so adorable
Unfortunately Rich Evans passed away because of his crippling depression and Diabetes Type 17.
To quote Nietzsche: "Rich Evans is dead."
Did we kill him? 😏
