Review of Black Dynamite (2009) by Ben M — 20 Jul 2010

The only movie I have ever seen with a Richard Nixon nunchuck fight, Black Dynamite is an outrageous and hillarious homage to 70s action movies, that kicks itself up a notch with a blaxploitatious attitude and soul.

At the center of this movie is the undeniably badass motherf*cker named Black Dynamite who is a nunchuck-swinging, .44 blastin' former black ops agent who is out to find his brother's killer in a plot that sounds vaguely like a 60s or 70s bond film that leads him from the ghetto to kung-fu island right to the whitehouse.

As completely ridiculous as this sounds, the movie has a lot of stylish action featuring some awesome kung fu and gun fights galore to keep any guy entertained. That being said, this movie doesn't offer much to keep females entertained (unless they like guns, fists, and boobs.

..). My favorite part though, was hillariously awful dialouge and acting. This is of course on purpose to do the movies that this is based off justice. Black Dynamite himself is a farm for one-liners who never seems to let up his antics without a "jive" or "motherf*cker" following soon after.

I was thoroughly impressed with this movie, the mindless fun and humor was spot on and the subtle hints (like the Rosco's chicken and waffles) helped make me realize there was more than just Black Dynamite kicking ass, it was the stuff between the gunshots and roundhouse kicks that make this gem shine.
