    Nonsense. Seek out Dolemite or The Human Tornado on dvd instead.
    Attention to detail maybe but no soul whatsoever.

    Lindsay Hutton's comment is what is "nonsense". One of the finest blacksploitation films ever crafted - you'll be crying with laughter throughout. Absolute spoof genius.

    It was a spoof? Oh that's where I went wrong. Or perhaps not. I hope that the ghost of Rudy Ray Moore haunts all concerned.

    Maybe you've got no taste. Or perhaps you just didn't "get it".

    I loved it! Yup perhaps she didn't "get it", unlike the rest of us who were roaring with laughter in FH1 on Sat night. A great piece of film making, animation and soundtrack brilliant!

    Fantastic movie, I was laughing the whole way through. If you liked Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, you'll love this.

    It's true. I have no taste and didn't get it. Oh yeah, I did rate "Darkplace" but not this sorry extended exercise. You people are evidently very easily pleased. Just sayin'...
