Black Dynamite

First off, I LOVE the movie. One of the funniest things ive ever watched. This is terrible though. Boring, rehashed plots (Black Jaws, Black Warriors etc.) The joke is... They're black. They take every popular black joke or pop culture reference, from the history of black comedy and pound it into the ground a million times (Im Rick James B***h (LOLOLOLOL), Everything Richard Pryor ever said, Michael Jackson used to be black LOLOLO). Not funny. Not original.

Michael Jai White is an underrated actor who no doubt should have played Luke Cage and still could a Luke Cage in my opinion.

Black dynamite and so-called black based and karate show that is non-stop fun and immature content. This was one of the greatest shows. It features many known actors doing voice work as well staring MJW the Kung fu master.

It also features Cedric Yarbrough, know as the infamous DuBois from Boondocks.

BD is no doubt one of the greatest, action, fighting, adult show of all-time but because its so-called "black" it doesn't get the popularity it deserves.

It's a crime that no-one has written a review for the animated series!

Keeping it simple - if you enjoyed the live action film of Black Dynamite and found it amusing then you'll love the animated series. A lot of the cast return to give their voices to the characters that were created in the film.

With animation you have the freedom to do anything and the creators use this freedom so well! I'm only 4 episodes in but so far the takes on real life celebrities of the 70's (Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor, O J Simpson) is absolutely hilarious. Incorporating such icons into a manic mickey taking episode is fantastic. The writers are on fire for the gags and stories so far.

If you enjoyed and laughed your ass off at Black Dynamite the movie, you'll do exactly the same with the animated series. It's adult humour all the way.

One of my favorite shows on the Adult Swim Lineup; the series has some of the best animation (which I believe compliments the 70's style era very well) and hilarious dialog (again, with that 70's flavor. Can you dig it?).

I'll have to rent the live action movie one of these days but I enjoy re-watching the season one episodes. I'm very excited that the series has been renewed for a second season! Its epic, all of it is epic; Michael Jai White is EPIC!

My top 3 Adult Swim shows: 1. Black Dynamite 2. Venture Brothers 3. China Illinois

This show is an exaggeration of black culture in the 70's, which was notoriously misogynistic and homophobic. The writers aren't going to rewrite history so certain groups don't get offended. It quite literally is indiscriminate in its offensiveness, and everybody's balls get busted at one point or another. If you can't handle that, watch a different show. This show has incredibly vibrant and aesthetically pleasing animation, its an interesting and fresh take on the blaxploitation genre, and is easily one of the funniest and most ridiculous shows I've ever seen.
