What can I say?
Added 3/9/2010
I had heard of this movie for years, and I finally got to watch it on YouTube. When they removed it, I decided to buy my own copy.
This is, without a doubt, one of the funniest, most bizarre, and least politically-correct movies I've ever seen. If you've ever watched Mad TV, when Aries Spears portrayed Son Of Dolemite, you'd see that he duplicated the tone of this movie identically.
This is a must-have for the devotees of blaxpoitation, bad B-movies, or both. I believe this would qualify for the grindhouse category, as well.
Ah, the seventies. The fashions, the expressions, and the pimp wars.

Note to the "no life-having" critics

To all those who are seriously "critiquing/criticizing" this movie, please find a life--because, clearly, you have none.
"Dolemite" is a classic movie from a classic genre. Rudy Ray Moore was the King of The Party Records. It is his presence that people love (and the Hamburger Pimp). The mistakes are part of what makes this film entertaining.
It's a fun movie...FUN. Get it?? If you can't handle that, there are plenty of Meryl Streep films available for your dry, boring behinds to watch.

I have only this to say: The scene where Dolemite is hovering above the camera as he makes sweet love to YOU, the viewer... You can feel his manly prowess coming right through the TV! Blacktastic!

Why? Why? Why?!
Added 10/21/2007
I distinctly recall the first time I ever watched Dolemite. I was in college and I had just gotten off of work. I came home and my housemates informed me that the movie was on the agenda for the evening. We partook of some fine green tobacco and proceeded to watch one of the finest movies I've ever had the pleasure of screening.
The beauty of Dolemite is that it delivers exactly what you would expect from a movie of it's caliber. Karate? Check. Fights? Check. Prostitutes? Check. Karate Prostitutes. Hell Yeah!!
To sum it all up, I feel sorry for the people who actually took the time to rate this movie 1 star. You don't get it, and unfortunately for the rest of us, you most likely never will.

OMG!! This is Bad!
Added 7/8/2007
I heard about this film for years. Even had people tell my I had to see it 'cause it's a trip. It's a trip, alright! A pretty bad one! What really stunned me about this film is the horrible screenplay! Ugh! It was brutal to listen to! The script was so bad, it was laughable! Sure it was a low budget movie! (You can see the microphone a couple of times and you can clearly see the school yard in the background of the opening sequence.) But if they didn't play this straight, I would have enjoyed it much more! Overall, this film isn't what people make it out to be! You're better off hangin' with "The Mack"! At least they tried!
