DOLEMITE IS MY NAME AND F***ING UP MOTHERF***ERS IS MY GAME

[defrog]

So Rudy Ray Moore is dead.

Which probably means nothing to you unless yr a fan of really bad (and very funny)  blaxploitation classics like Dolemite, The Human Tornado or Disco Godfather.

Which I am.

Granted, Moore’s sense of humor – much like low-budget B-movies in general – isn’t for everyone, and sometimes even by my own decadent standards he overdoes it. But I have to respect anyone who built up his career by selling his comedy albums (and later videos of his movies) out of the trunk of his car. He's also arguably the person who taught Samuel L Jackson the proper and most effective delivery of the word "motherfucker".

Class.

Kung Fu Cinema has a nice collection of RRM movie trailers for you to admire (most if not all of which are NSFW in one form or another). Here’s the one for Dolemite.

So bad I kick my own ass twice a day,

This is dF

First Levi Stubbs, now Dolemite. Who's going to be number three?

I've only seen HUMAN TORNADO, but it's a classic. Is that the first film that ever had slo-mo action replay?

Poor old Rudy. Imina go bang the sheriff's wife in his honor.
