I can DIG IT
grace lovedBlack Dynamitethis movie was really entertaining and fun, but i also think it’s a satirical piece about certain things the us government has done to harm black communities. so to see Black Dynamite succeed, in honor of his many friends, then go on to serve his community is very powerful!

Even if it's a one-joke movie that runs out of steam, director Scott Sanders manages to keep the gag going for 90 minutes.
James Greenberg
The Hollywood Reporter
No matter how many trips to Kung Fu Island our hero makes, nothing in Black Dynamite captures the exhilarating absurdity of Pam Grier hiding razors in her Afro in Coffy--or the loony genre experimentation in Pootie Tang.
