Putting his genuine martial arts expertise to good use, Michael Jai White delivers a towering performance in the superbad title role, “stickin’ it to the Man” in memorable comic style, as he respectfully lampoons the fly moves of the actors who defined the Blaxploitation era: heavyweights such as Fred Williamson, Bernie Casey, 'Big' Jim Brown, Superfly Ron O’Neal, Jim Black Belt Jones Kelly and, of course, Shaft himself, Richard Roundtree. There’s even a smile and a nod to the legendary Rudy Ray Moore, whose infamous Dolemite character is clearly the inspiration for Dynamite’s rapper-at-arms 'Bullhorn'. The satirical attention to the flawed detail of the originals is truly incredible. From mistimed camera moves and visible microphones, to actors feigning tears, smoking unlit cigarettes, and feverishly improvising forgotten dialogue – no trick is missed. All the genre’s trademarks are present, lovingly recreated by director Scott Sanders in hysterical fashion. Steamy sex, bone-shattering Kung-fu, shootouts, car chases, foot chases ... there’s even the obligatory Vietnam flashback, and naturally, the funky score. The score was always an integral element of Blaxploitation cinema. Influential artists contributed killer soundtracks to the genre: Isaac Hayes (who, aside from creating the whole genre’s unofficial anthem with the classic Theme from Shaft, appeared in the lead role of his own Blaxploitation vehicle Truck Turner); James Brown (Black Caesar arguably being one of his greatest albums); and Curtis Mayfield. Many of the tracks were to be sampled by Hip Hop artists decades later, causing not only the cultural resurrection of the music, but a renewed interest in the films themselves. Maintaining its meticulous level of satire, Black Dynamite acknowledges this history with a brilliantly tongue-in-cheek score that cleverly mirrors its esteemed inspirations. Although this brand of parody often suffers from a loss of momentum after the initial spate of gags, Sanders and Jai White (also co-scriptwriter) have produced such a perfect example of the art, it effortlessly sustains its razor sharp humour for the full hilarious duration. I’m Gonna Git You Sucka just lost its crown: Black Dynamite is now the quintessential Blaxploitation comedy.
