Black Dynamite
This film explores the full story of this man named Black Dynamite, the greatest star of the movement of African descent. Within a short time, this man was the only hero to experience war against The Man all the way from the city streets to the holy halls of Honky House. In that city, The Man was able to kill his brother and inject heroin into local orphanages, where things turned upside down.

Hilarious, and at just 85 minutes long, never outstays its welcome.

The details are perfect, from the particle-board sets to the porn-ready score. (And dig those polyester suits.) But just like the movies it parodies, this one feels over long before it's actually done.

Before an hour has passed tedium overtakes Black Dynamite -- one corny martial-arts sequence turns out to be plenty -- and all the good jokes dry up.

Fond and very funny homage to the exploitation era.

Outta sight!

As the titular ex-CIA man, White reveals comic talents to match his martial artistry, delivering one-liners and roundhouse kicks with the same killer precision.

Black Dynamite will stir some pleasant memories.

A brilliant laugh-out-loud slapstick crowd pleaser made with love and talent.

If the joke is somewhat one-note and eventually told too long and too often, at least it's a good joke.

Even though it sounds funnier than it plays, between the song and the nun chucks, I was happy.

The portentous dialogue, two-track-recorded soundtrack (by Adrian Younge) and eager performances are all highly diverting.

Funny in ways that are as complex as the most challenging art film.
