If The Boondocks (2005-2010) kept you in stitches, add another hash mark to the "must-see" column for Black Dynamite.Watch Black Dynamite - Season 1, Episode 4 - A Crisis at Christmas or The Dark Side of the Dark Side of the Moon: At Christmas-time, Black Dynamite realizes … S2, Ep2. But when Black Dynamite strikes, it strikes gold. Desperate to offend, desperate to drop jaws, desperate to surprise, desperate to shock.

The animated series is more erratic and often feels a bit too desperate. (There are stretches that drag, others that fall flat, and still others sure to fly right over most heads.) Sanders' 2009 feature film was sharper, more focused and more consistently hilarious. I had a blast watching Black Dynamite, even when it wasn't all that good. Is it for you? If you haven't figured that out by now, nothing in this review is going to sway you any further. The only problem being just how hit or miss - or obscure - the jokes and references are, which leads to as many crack-ups as head scratches. Even if you don't like the series, it's hard not to get caught up in the absurdity and hilarity of it all. If it doesn't make you laugh at something you shouldn't laugh at, you're lying. Just tridents.) If Black Dynamite doesn't offend your sensibilities at some point, you're a racist's racist.
Maniacal puppet That Frog Kurtis and his vindictive son That Bastard Kurtis. Supervillain and arch nemesis Richard Nixon.

What to expect? Movie references heaped atop movie references. Providing comic relief on the mean streets is Cream Corn (Tommy Davidson) and classing up the place is the gorgeous Honey Bee (Kym Whitley). His sidekick extraordinaire is Bullhorn (Byron Minns), the brains and cunning that complements Black Dynamite's hard-hittin', bone-crushin' style. He's a lover and a fighter who's not afraid to leap before he looks. Look for laughs elsewhere.īlack Dynamite (voiced by Michael Jai White) is a 1970s renaissance man with a kung-fu grip. If the screenshots offended you, good God. Back? Still interested? If so, chances are good that you're exactly the kind of person that'll get a big kick out of Black Dynamite. Will you? Take a quick second and scan the screenshots included with this review. What to expect, and who's likely to dig it. Where to start? The 1970s? The origins of Blaxploitation? That bad mutha, Shaft (1971)? The lesser known but no less influential Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (also 1971)? Other cult classics of the genre? The controversy that's plagued it since its inception? The difficult to discern line between racism and satire? Empowerment and provocation? Should we skip past the '70s and dive into later Blaxploitation homages and throw-backs? I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988)? Jackie Brown (1997)? Pootie Tang (2001)? Scott Sanders, Byron Minns and Michael Jai White's Black Dynamite (2009)? The trio's more recent Cartoon Network/Adult Swim animated series of the same name? Shutcho mouth.
