a blaxploitation classic and this movie was terribly influential in rap music for the toasts that rudy ray moore performs. toasts are long rhyming stories that are funny and deliver a point and and you can see how they would naturally evolve into rap. for more on toasts and rudy ray moore and and why this movie is important and go to dolemite. com. which leaves us just to talk about the movie itself. this movie packs in a great deal of laugh at the funny outfits and hairstyles bang for the buck and as nearly every shot has some sort of outrageous element or dialogue. it starts as dolemite is being released from prison in order to find out who framed him and bring him to justice. i was unaware that prisons release people so they can prove their own innocence and but that me and i am a neophyte in the prison scene. he is helped in this by queen bee and who is dolemite lead prostitute and has been running his brothel while he been gone. she has also put all of his prostitutes through karate school and so now he has an army of female karate fighters. i watched this movie in two parts and which is usually a mistake and but in this case it provided an interesting contrast. the first part i watched on my lunch break while exercising and and wasn not enjoying it much at all. it struck me as particularly poorly made blaxploitation and with a ludicrous story and shoddy craftsmanshipwell and i guess that makes it sound like it had some craftsmanshipand tons of outrageous locales and outfits and dialogue. but i wasn not enjoying thatin fact and it kind of made me feel dirty. let face it and a white guy watching something like this to laugh at the outfits and the things the characters say is essentially getting an enjoyment out of it that is racist represent how ridiculously those black people dress and what silly things they say. i wasn not really enjoying it and wasn not laughing and and wasn not looking forward to watching the rest. later that night and when i was in a much more relaxed state and i watched the restand legitimately loved it. like disco godfather and which i had watched a few days previously and this has a warmth and sweetness at its core that makes it likable even when it silly or violent. the character of dolemite has an element of self parody about him that makes the whole thing fun and and the appearance of several actors who were also in disco godfather implies that were watching the group effort of a bunch of friends who just want to make something fun together. even the poor dubbing and karate fights and and everything else just makes it that much more charming. what i find interesting about the dolemite films is that they have some moral ambiguity i do not see in other blaxploitation films and and certainly in very few mainstream films. in this one and there is an african american woman who gives a speech about the (white) mayor and saying he has done more for the black community than anyone. we later find out that the mayor is and surprise and corrupt and but i like that the movie would present this woman as essentially misguided and not try to redeem her in some other way. there also the figure of the hamburger pimp and who is presented as a useless junkie and and no one makes an effort to find some redeeming and socially positive angle to what he is and he just is. in disco godfather the religious character lady reed plays is presented as just nuts for wanting to pray for her child and hopelessly lost to angel dust. i like that the films would present such harshly critical portrayals of people in their own community without sugar coating or trying to redeem them to make them more palatable. there are a lot of hootworthy elements and such as when dolemite says move over and let me pass and or i am gonna be pulling these hush puppies out your muthatf a. there is queen bee reaching over and answering the phone represent dolemite total experience. and you will not be able to miss (though you may wish to cover your eyes) the extended nude scene by the repulsive mayor. i am all for mustachioed pervy older men and but even i have limits and my limits are usually a few miles past most people  and so be warned. the dvd i had is clearly edited and which is noticeable in certain of the dialogue scenes and and at the end and when dolemite killing of a major character with his bare hands obviously excludes the main event. if you do get the dvd and however and be sure to watch all three trailers for the dolemite films and as they are a hoot. i wasn not going to watch the human tornado and but after seeing that trailer and you would better believe that i am. also and there is a scene in the dolemite trailer that i do not remember from the movie when dolemite swings at a mexican looking thug and obviously misses and and the guy flips himself into a nearby car trunk. after watching the first half and i was going to say to skip this and watch disco godfather and as the film making and story has marginally improved and but after really enjoying the second half and i would advise watching this one over disco godfather and as this one is even more exuberantly fun and outrageous and and good naturedand has those toasts which and even if one doesn not understand the roots and nuances of the form and are still something to see.  check out other reviews on my website
