Review of Black Dynamite (2009) by Matthew L — 22 Jan 2011
Why oh why has it taken nearly a year and a half for this to get a DVD release in the UK. This has cult classic written all over it, unlike 'Don't Be A Menace...' or 'I'm gonna get you sucka' this is more tribute than piss take to the Blaxploitation era, paying equal parts homage to affectionate ribbing.
No stone is left unturned with every element that would become cliched in the genre getting a look in; funky soundtrack, slang dialogue, ropy acting, stock footage, boom mikes in shot, over the top conspiracy plot, you name it its here.
The film makers clearly love the films they are paying tribute to and the film makers and actors that defined the genre. I can't recommend this film highly enough.
