I think it's only fitting that in the recent passing of blaxploitation great Rudy Ray Moore* of DOLEMITE fame (which featured one of the greatest trailers of all time)...



... that he and blaxploitation in general should be so gloriously homaged in this upcoming trailer.

And before you ask, yes, this film is real. In fact, I think I'm just going to cancel all of my fringe festival performances to spend 2009 pimping this movie.

BLACK DYNAMITE is my new god now.



Rated "Arrr-ruh!"


EDIT: When I first posted this, I realized I actually called him "Dudley Ray Moore." I'm now trying to imagine ARTHUR as a blaxploitation film. And now I am indeed in a happy place.

OK... that looks kind of awesome.

I think I heard about it a few months ago, but this is the first I've seen of the Black Dynamite trailer.

So incredibly wrong and wonderfully politically incorrect. We need more stuff like that. And not just the Blaxploitation film revival--I want all of that old cheese back. Pulpy adventure! Nazi Werewolf women! Evil Asians! All that stuff that made it very clear (to me, at least) very early on that stereotypes were so disconnected from reality they could only be funny.

(Sadly, over the years, though, I've met many, many people who work very hard to live down to the worst stereotypes that could apply to them... still don't understand that.)
