BLACK DYNAMITE Is Ready To Explode!

Posted by Todd Brown at 2:42am.

Posted in Trailer Alerts , Cult, Action, USA & Canada.

Fresh on the heels of the new Dolemite film we mentioned a few days back, here comes Black Dynamite!  A new production out of San Francisco the film is a note perfect recreation of the blaxploitation films of the seventies from the style, to the action, right down to the grainy film stock.  I mean, come on ... the guys holding a gun and a set of nunchuks!  Martial arts, vigilante justice, a hospital room shoot out, car crashes, and a whole lot of sweet loving - this has got it all in spades.

You’ll find the trailer below the break in the Twitch Player.

    Hot diggidy! They’ve got the look down to a T. This almost looks too real to be made today.

    Wow!!! what a cool trailer.  While I found Undercover Brother enjoyable, it is good to see an ultraviolent 1970’s era homage like Black Dynamite in this era of pg 13 action film.  Does anyone know when Black Dynamite comes to theaters? To me this would also be the best way to film Marvel Comic’s Luke Cage Hero For Hire.

    That was PERFECT. Absolutely perfect. Without flaw.

    Wow, the only anachronism I found is that the martial arts were handled too well for an American film of the period, and unfortunately, somebody spilled Photoshop all over their logo.  But I’m totally nitpicking.  That’s an extremely impressive period recreation on what must have been a low budget.  Is this a full-length feature?  And how, when, where can I see this?  Man, that’s just awesome.

    “We need you ‘Dynamite’ NOW.  More than ever.”
    Whew, this knocked me out as absolutely letter perfect with regard to sets, cars, costumes, music, shooting style, dubbing etc etc.  How perfect can homage be?  Yeah, this is perfect (as Nitty reports earlier.)

    All i can say is DY-NO-MAITE!!!

    Seriouslly, i take this over any retarded “family friendly” black film with Cuba Gooding jr or Ice Cube any day.

    Ho-lee-crap!! I want me a poster. I want me a shirt. And I want me a 24-hour pass when this thing hits screens. Note-for-note perfection. Kudos.
