"pimpin' hoes...like my name was Dolemite" Perhaps this belongs in the RAP thread...

Dolemite is great fun. There are parts like the outdoor scene where he talks to a junkie for about 5 minutes where you can't uinderstand jack shit. the ending is weird too.
I prefer Truck Turner as a movie better. Superfly is my favorite though. "If you dont get me my money TO-NIGHT...!" Shaft is the single most over-rated boring piece of bullshit private dick filmmaking ever. I hate it and I want it dead.

do you SEE the size of Shaft's penis in that picture?
I get a feeling he could beat you over the head and knock you out with it. besides that.....Shaft gets WAY MORE jigglin' ass than you do. mad respect. |

again, I ask you....do you see the size of his penis? nobody fucks with a man who has a 4' penis. NOBODY.
I hope Shaft makes you his bitch with it. no, really, I do. PS: the honky white man is a tool FOR SHAFT. |

Dolemite shows that overweight average to ugly looking guys can kick ass and get laid just like Hollywood superstars. ...okay - maybe not "just like"...

I can't remember properly, but there were good moments, especially the ones when he talks and talks and raps, looking pretty happy. The end of the movie is ludicrous. There was a sequel; perhaps slightly er better, if better serves with B minus movies.
My fave blaxploitation flick so far remains The Thing with Two Heads, which ends after a over stretched (still highly enjoyable as it shows the crew had fun) car and moto race http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=gWHNA_j7h5A The hero isn't as starlike as Dolemite I admit. I'd really like to see Black Belt Jones, who's quite a star and practices kung fu - except that he kicks in the balls. You won't see him kick in the bad boys' brmpfffs in here, but you'll hear his wonderful line ("Woooooo-ooo") and relish the use of music : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bthp5UBf0TU Probably more enjoyable than the other link; well, nevermind. And a little more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDN1T...eature=related |

The Thing with Two Heads? That's Rosie f'n Greer - football star and needlepoint enthusiast. He was awesome!

shaft is boring, but has a great soundtrack. i had shaft in africa and it sucked hard, but it has a funny part where he's fighting in a barn or something naked and all of sudden you accidently see his cock pop up and down. i think they didn't mean for that to happen.
