Summary: DOLEMITE IS DY- - NO- - MITE!!!!!
Review: I have seen both "Dolemite" and "Dolemite - the Human Tornado and they are hilarious! The scene where he is rolling down the hill in "instant reply" cannot be topped by anyone. These movies are so funny I can't describe it -- there are no words...His martial arts skills are something everyone should see. These are classic films and it's too bad that I had to find out about them through word of mouth. No one can touch you Rudy Ray Moore -not Eddie, Denzel, Martin, or Will!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Big time disapointed
Review: I just loved the 1st one but the sequel was just too slow, not very funny and had lost it's charm. It just has a few memorable scenes.

Summary: It's a great film
Review: I love the Dolemite movies, which is quite possibly the greatest duo of films ever made. I'll never in my life forget the kung-fu action scenes and a naked Rudy Ray Moore rolling down a grassy hill in "The Human Tornado." These movies should be viewed every man, woman and child to walk the earth...they are truly an experience like no other.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: So Bad, It's Good.
Review: If you're in need of some good laughs and are willing to overlook poor dialogue, an even worse plot and shoddy camera work, this is your movie.

I fell out of my chair laughing at some of the scenes in this movie - the opening scene where Dolemite dives head first down the side of a hill butt naked is classic! This is Rudy Ray Moore at his best.

The plot makes little sense but who cares. If you've seen the MadTV spoofs then and see this movie, you will realize they were dead on!!

Bottom line, if you're looking for fine art, don't bother. If you're looking for cheap laughs and non-PC humor, this is your flick.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Dolemite's back!
Review: Ok, last time we caught up with the godfather of rap he beat willie green and crooked politicans in a brilliant film. This time I'm affraid, Rudy Ray Moore fumbles. The Human Tornando succumbs to the sequel disease of being worse than the first one. It's not horrible it's a very good movie, but it tries to be to formulatic , it wants to be as good as the first one and use sub-plots resembly the first one.

The plot line, Dolemite leaves California behind and is somewhere in the south when he is caught with the sherrif's wife and jumps off a hill naked. The sherrif is pursuing him across the nation as dolemite puts his nightclub act on the go. He makes it back to Cali. and finds Queen Bee in some hot water with nightclub competiors, and Dolemite comes to the rescue. The movie's not horrible, but not as good as the 1st. It sometimes is choppy, hard to follow, and complete nonsense ( even more than in the original) Dolemite saves the day of course but a weird ending leaves you wanting a bit more well enough to leave on a high point. Remember the first had witty comebacks, and two rap songs performed you'll be lucky to catch him even run into rhyme this time. All in all this was good, close but no cigar.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "The Godfather of rap at his martial arts ghetto best!"
Review: Rudy Ray Moore at his best. If you have any idea of how a comedy should be written and acted than you will love this film. A true look at the 70's blacksploitation genre. Go Dolemite. Dolemite for president!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: This is a edited version of the film!
Review: This version is missing some scenes from the Video release, as well as the theatre release. It also has seveal scenes moved around. if you dont believe me, go rent the video copy! You are missing a funny sequence with a gay driver who picks up dolemite and the gang on their way to California! Its in the video version, but missing in the DVD copy. Also certain scenes involving miss Cavarelli and the infamous ladies room scene is moved to a differnt section. This isnt the first time Xenon DVD did this to their release, so beware when buying!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FINALLY THE RECOGNITION THAT YOU DESERVE!
Review: Well well. I was have heard about Dolemite all of my life and i'm 26. My Grandparents used to listen to Rudy Ray Moore and Jimmy Lynch. So I have always known about Mr. Dolemite. When I First saw 'Pete Wheatstraw' in 1989 I was hooked! But no one else around me, except my family, had heard about or knew of DOLEMITE or Rudy Ray Moore. Well i am filled with joy and kindship for the people who participate in this site and watch and Make others watch his films. It's taken 10years for people to come to the table and learn who this man is and why he is funny. Deliver....Delivery is everything. This is why so many rapper and THe Big Daddy Kane want to imitate Mr. Dolemite...the Attitude and Delivery. i attempt to live my life in the same vain as Mr. Dolemite's motto...which I have modified for my own purposes..."I'm going to be the very best of What I am and for those of you who don't like it, confidentially i don't give a damn. Because I would rather be hated for what I am rather than loved for what I am not!" in a nutshell.."F@#! you Mannnn!!! I hope one day to meet Mr. Rudy Ray Moore and let him know how he he changed my outlook on life and my self-esteem...I got through high school and college and Graduate school because of Our 'Motto.' People draw inspiration from the strangest places, but I thank Dolemite for sparking that self-confidence in me. I tell people who my hero's are...My Grandmother, My aunt, James Brown, Nina Simone, Sammy Davis Jr., Malcom X, Harriett Tubman and Dolemite! Thank you Terence Knox TerencNox@aol.com
