Dolemite
“Man, move over and let me pass before they’ll have to be pullin’ these hush puppies out yo mothafuckin’ ass!”

After watching Sweetback for the first time this year, which essentially created the blaxploitation genre, it’s crazy to see how Dolemite compares. While Sweetback is more noble and carries a message, Dolemite is just dumb fun.

Starts hot, loses some steam, then ends in a rush. But Moore’s personality really shines through with every delivery of “mothafucka,” and who doesn’t love a posse of hot kung-fu ladies?

inspired to watch by a recent viewing of House Party

hilariously uneven applications of stage combat, impeccable editing

You can really tell that all of the money spent on this movie went toward a very professional intimacy coordinator.
