DOLEMITE

D'Urville Martin, USA, 1975, Xenon Pictures, Cult

A lasting testament to rap pioneer/nightclub comic par excellence Rudy Ray Moore and the sun-bleached, smog-covered vistas of 1970s L.A., DOLEMITE remains one of blaxploitation’s greatest achievements. Here, Moore plays DOLEMITE—the greatest pimp of them all. After two years in prison on false charges, Dolemite’s back on the street and ready to settle scores ("I've got an all-girl army that knows what to do! They’re foxy as hell and practice kung fu!"). Moore’s homespun poetry will ring in your head for days, and the image of his schlubby figure executing karate kicks will bring smiles to your entire audience’s faces. The D.I.Y. heart and success of DOLEMITE paved the way for Moore's three subsequent trash-terpieces (also available via AGFA): THE HUMAN TORNADO, DISCO GODFATHER and PETEY WHEATSTRAW.
