Black Dynamite

Michael Jai White, the writer and star of Black Dynamite, had the perfect way to describe it. He said, roughly, that Blacksploitation as a genre took itself so seriously back when it was made that the line between homage and parody is blurred, because to do it as seriously as they did, today, is hysterical.

Everything about Black Dynamite is amazing. The music, the over-the-top kung fu, the random nudity, and the insanely cheesy dialog delivered with fierce intensity. Even without the parody element it stands up well, as the martial arts have a crisp, angular quality that I really haven't seen anywhere else. But taken as a whole, it's basically fantastic.
