When Black Dynamite's younger brother is killed by the mob, BD sets out to clean up the streets. You can feel the influence of Dolemite, Jim Brown, and Jim Kelly all over this flick. While the movie is a dead on satire of 1970s blaxploitation films, it is so accurate that sometimes you'll feel like you're watching a bad 1970s movie. Sometimes I was laughing out loud, while other times I was going into a stupor because it was so spot on. I did enoy the boom mics dipping into the shot, the awkward line reads, and the really funny scene where Black Dynamite screams at a kid who wants to grow up to be just like him.
Whoever did the soundtrack did a great job and must be really familiar with this type of movie. They nailed the mood and song structure. I also loved the cartoon closing credits.
