Black Dynamite, Blaxploitation 2008

More everything! Super high and super tight! There ain’t no hope for dude who deal dope you jive turkey mother fuckers!

Let it be known that AZM ally Mike Dent of R5 Central is both brilliant and twisted. He sent along this trailer for Black Dynamite which, believe it or not, is coming out this year and stars Michael Jai White! Haven’t seen him since Spawn. I mean, I’m sure he’s been in stuff since. I just haven’t seen it.

This looks like a lot of fun. Blaxploitation certainly falls into the “So horribly wrong it’s somehow right” category of film and probably shouldn’t be taken all that seriously. And while it explodes with stereotypes, I somehow find it less offensive than that stupid Who’s Your Caddy crap that I railed against a while back.

So, in the words of JJ Jimmy Walker, DYN-O-MITE!

    Awesome, indeed. I grew up on Good Times and What’s Happening. After that I got into the usual stuff — Shaft, Dolemite, Action Jackson. I’m Gonna Git You Sucka has been in my collection for eons. Just last month my wife and I saw a very, very great documentary on Blacksploitation films. Wish I could remember where. I’d like to track it down if I could. It’s a genre that was fun, wasn’t hurting anybody, and that all of the people involved enjoyed doing. that’s before the P.C. Police showed up and marked it as ‘offensive.’ I will be seeing this, that’s for certain.

    SWEET RAPTOR JESUS. This has to be movie of the year. I can only hope that the full movie is the trailer x 1,000,000.

    Way to bring the xplotation genre back! In Black!
