Rent or buy this movie…

Updated on February 10, 2010 By Ken Begg 9 Comments

Next week sees the DVD release of the best movie I’ve seen in theaters in several years: Black Dynamite. It is the slyist, flyist piece of movie mockery I’ve maybe ever had the pleasure of watching. Just great stuff. Get this on your Netflix / Blockbuster list, reserve it at your local library, or click on the Amazon link below and become a proud owner of your own copy (also available in Blu Ray):

  • weird. It seems like I’ve seen this movie somewhere before …

  • Are you thinking about that flick Chris Holland showed up last year? Let me assure you, Black Dynamite is an actual film, not a trailer lasting 90 minutes long.

    Caught this at a one-time-only showing and enjoyed the hell out of it. “I am smiling.”

    I actually just watched this last night (don’t ask how ^_~), and I must say I loved it. It’s totally at the top of my buy list for next week. It’s a shame it didn’t get a wider release (you know…like Madison or Milwaukee at least), but here’s hoping it finds a good home on DVD & Blu-ray as it’s totally deserving of that!

    I caught a midnight showing of this on one of the two nights it played in Houston. Funniest thing I’ve seen in years. I really loved how the movie was actually Black Dynamite and it’s increasingly overblown and ridiculous sequels all rolled into one.

    I pre-ordered Black Dynamite based on y’all’s recommendation. So if it sucks expect a midnight visit from a battleship sized avian…..

    I got this from Netflix (unfortunately for the film makers I got it immediatly rather than the “long wait” usually associated with new releases) and it was hilarious though it was better the 2nd time with the audio commentary to point ouot some of the gags that were easy to miss the first go round. Seems like the kind of moive you can watch a number of times and always find something that you missed in earlier viewings.

    Oh, and some of the gags have so stuck in my mind that I find myself giggling when I think of them days after seeing the movie. For some reason “We’re going to Kung Fu Island” gets me every time.

  • I haven’t seen the movie since we saw it in the theater, and just recounting some of the bits from it this last weekend with Paul and Holly (who I saw it with), still make me laugh so hard my eyes start tearing up.

    Man, I love that movie. And whoever made the observation here that it wasn’t just a recreation of a single blaxploitation film, but was at the same time all the increasingly junky sequels to that first film, was spot on. Very nice point.
