Blaxploitation at it's Best - Black Dynamite Movie Reaction | First Time Watching

[@Syntell]

Have you seen Rekkai's and my Deep Dive? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGaXl62ArK2Wl6c

[@nupefromdaville]

Thanks for this bro!

[@clarencewalker3925]

The Seventies was my time. It was a hell of a time. And the word "Brother" meant something. The guy who rhymes is spoofing a character named "Dolemite."

[@mog4993]

You can absolutely have this kind of humor. It's just a matter of whether or not it's all in good fun. Like with Mel Brookes and Blazing Saddles. You just have to ignore the whiney liberal white saviors. They act like they speak on behalf of ALL black folks and those who rebuke them get racial slurs thrown at them like you wouldn't believe.

[@kemmdog4444]

“But Black Dynamite. I sell drugs in the community.”

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

You have correcly identified the best line among many killer lines. Good work sir. ("The militants turn, startled!" is arguably my second fave.)

[@sterigma555]

@@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures "I threw that shit before I walked into the room!" is pretty great too.

[@CliffSedge-nu5fv]

"Who dares interrupt my kung fu?!"

[@yousefghazanfar9099]

“Sarcastically, I’m in charge” is my favorite one 😂

[@SpidermanandhisAmazingFriends]

"Show you this picture..."

[@fitzclaircharron3502]

One of my favorite jokes "As he laid there, face down, he looked up at me" *cuts to a kid on his back*

[@desmoove]

This is an underrated classic that seems to be having a resurgence due to reaction videos like this! I'm headed to Patreon for the full deal.

[@Syntell]

Have a ball out in those Patreon streets. We had a great time making this one.

[@joeno-say5504]

So what you're saying is, it's DYNOMITE! DYNOMITE!

[@derekmason1881]

How is underrated ? It spawned a cartoon series and comic books

[@kc1john]

It also teaches you important lessons. Like never interrupt a man when he’s doing his kung fu.

[@flamingbabygames]

Also, donuts don't wear alligator shoes.

[@kc1john]

Black Dynamite is a comedy masterpiece. Needs more appreciation.

[@desmoove]

Yup, happy to see it getting the deserved appreciation thanks to reaction channels like this.

[@bighuge1060]

It is possibly the last, great parody movie made. And, with exception of Captain Kangaroo, stayed in its lane and reveled in it. No Friedberg and Seltzer pop-reference stuff here. I absolutely ADORE this movie.

[@mrkwrbl]

lol edit - I'm just checking replies and I don't know why I commented "lol" couple days ago - it had to be a response to a different comment but accidentally got here. I love this movie. 100% agree with @kc1john

[@orangeslices990]

There was a time when I watched this three times in a row. 😂🖤

[@dubbleplusgood]

Super under-rated comedy and MJW's performance was incredible.

[@jimtatro6550]

“I threw that shit before I walked in the room!”😂 This is one of the funniest movies ever 🔥🤣👍

[@bmarty748]

The fact that outta all the lines I came here to say this same exact line must be smoking the same ish

[@Yamisaru]

So I play a lot of shooters and I quote that every time I throw a grenade

[@BonesAlexander]

That little "HAHA!" before it too. xD

[@Franco1395]

Oh man! I just said the same thing. Funny AF!

[@WiseGuy5674]

*Sarcastically* “I’m in charge!”. He was reading directly from the script!🤣🤣

[@NILBOG13]

Holy shit I just got that, I have seen this movie at least 100 times.

[@juice6521]

This is definitely one of those "you have to watch it twice" moments. It rare that people catch that joke the first time.

[@phatpeople1234]

Also earlier in the scene the dude stands up facing the camera and says "Militant turns startled" and it's supposed to be stage directions.

[@RussellCHall]

"Euphoria shut the F**k Up, i know that was you I ain't even gotta look..." That whole thing is my favorite line in a movie of favorite lines!

[@NILBOG13]

You want to go back to Crenshaw Pete (R.I.P) with his hot ass coat hangers!

[@Cjbrown2x]

I’m crying 😂

[@_adrian_sean]

Sholanda : My momma said MY daddy's name was Black Dynamite. Brickwilla : So did MY MOMMA! Black Dynamite : Err, uhh, hush up little girls. A lot of cats have that name. 👀.... 👀.....🤨🤨🤨

[@Syntell]

😂🤣

[@JackBarrugon]

- "I'm declaring war on anyone who sells drugs to the community!" - "But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community!" The Nerdist podcast with the cast of this film is almost as much fun as the film itself.

[@Memelovespeace]

Literally one of my fave lines up there with “Little Richard make you go whooo!!! Make you go whoo!!!”

[@Darknamja]

I experienced the Blaxploitation era firsthand. This was a fun look back.😉

[@Syntell]

We might need to pull you to the side and ask some questions. 😂

[@grumpymercer621]

This movie has so many quotable lines 😂

[@jinxie712]

For years we've been saying the lines.

[@TheJerbol]

My favourite is the Panther who says everything in the script. 'Sarcastically, I'm in charge!' 'Start a family, show him the picture'

[@chopperdeath]

This movie is a fucking masterpiece. Not even an issue.

[@corvuslight]

Moon Cricket? Dayum, that's some cold azz jive turkey type sheeit.

[@Syntell]

I don't think I'll ever get over moon cricket. That's wild to me.

[@AO-bl7cc]

Bullhorn is a reference to Dolemite, from the rhyming, to the fight scenes where it's obvious he never makes contact when throwing a punch. Look up Dolemite, cause the clips on youtube show just about all the things you are seeing in Black Dynamite, from the boom mic dropping into view, to the fight scenes where the actors throw themselves back 10 seconds before a punch is thrown.

[@sleeper-cassie]

Rudy Ray Moore was the GOAT!

[@NervXT]

That one guy @15:02 who say "Sarcastically, I'm in charge" is reading the script directions along with his lines. The joke is that the script is telling him to say "I'm in charge" in a sarcastic voice, but he mistakenly reads the script direction as part of his spoken dialogue. He does this again later as well. That's what I love about this movie, you always discover something else each time you watch it.

[@Zebred2001]

I'm not black but I was 10 years old in 1971. I have seen quite a few Blaxploitation movies then and since then. They are of course uneven but generally I enjoy their cool "vibe." Sure maybe they exploited the very real socioeconomic problems that American inner cities were going through but I never thought I was watching a documentary. They did, through entertainment, actually make me aware of those basic problems even though they didn't suggest too may realistic solutions. As to their low-budget quality let's all remember there were quite a few "white" drive -in movies made then as well, usually involving biker gangs and blonde babes. It was a great time for youthful low-budget cinema across the ethno-cultural board. These movies all have a charm and I have a great affection to this day for their spirit. Black Dynamite, though it is a send-up, also shows a lot of love and affection towards those movies and their times. For more send-ups please check out the Dolemite and Funkenstein sketches from MAD TV!

[@KHAOE1]

12:46 man my mom (R.I.P.) laughed so hard at that part she had tears rolling down her face. I had to pause the movie for a couple minutes for her to gather herself. Just the fact that they replaced the stuntman was freaking hilarious!!

[@Koschild]

My sister gave me this Dvd and said watch this before you have to work. I watched the 1st 10 minutes, stopped it and called my best friend. "come to my place right now, I need someone to watch this movie with me." Took us 3 hours to finish it from pausing and laughing.

[@44excalibur]

"Sarcastically, I'm in charge." The actor in that scene is supposed to be reading his script instructions by accident. 🤣"The militants turn, startled."

[@AO-bl7cc]

First time I watched this movie, I thought that it was just some kind of smart alek expression lol.

[@LordVolkov]

"Yeah... shows picture!" The militant reading his stage directions is hilarious.

[@thakozhani]

@44excalibur bruh thank u! That make it that much more hilarious 😂

[@Memelovespeace]

This is one of my favorite comedies 😂 Glad y’all finally watched it!

[@nyt-marevisions1661]

He made another movie The Outlaw Johnny Black in 2023. Yall should react to that one 2. It’s a blaxploitation comedy too.

[@deemo7868]

I am a big fan of Undercover Brother, but Imissed the original release of this film. I found it after I discovering that "They Cloned Tyrone" has a number of callbacks to this film. I am so glad I found it.🙂

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

I have never heard of 'They Cloned Tyrone' but it has such an amazing title I think I have to check it out now.

[@songwright]

I first saw this at an L.A. Film Festival not long after its debut at Sundance in 2009 at the Ford Amphitheatre. The audience was bursting out in loud laughter the whole film!

[@MrMoney2484]

There was a Black Dynamite cartoon with the same voice actors

[@corwinchapman4565]

Michael Jai White has that "Supersoldier Serum" build

[@b.l.fisher8230]

Deadpool & Black Dynamite. Hollywood, make it happen...

[@pablozee6359]

So many great little tributes to Black Belt Jones and the legend Jim Kelly.

[@DownKillerBadDog]

MVP..BOOM MIC OPERATOR

[@JosephPauley46n2]

"Send you back to Crenshaw Pete with his hot a$$ coat hangers" makes me roll every time.

[@b.l.fisher8230]

Who else wants a Crenshaw Pete movie?😂

[@athens_1psvr31]

I’m running Thaannngs.

[@Nephlim20]

One of the greatest, if not the greatest, comedy movies of all time!

[@kingtchala6832]

This to me is a classic. I need everyone to watch this once in life. “Euphoria stfu, I know that was you, I ain’t even gotta look. I should send your ass back to Crenshaw P”

[@disturbedpyro4511]

“HA HA! I threw that shit before I walked in the room!!”Has to be one of the funniest lines in comedy movie history!😂😂😂

[@yakamen]

This movie absolutely RULES.

[@MrKeychange]

Captain Kangaroo pimp in the house.... 😂🤘

[@JasonMoir]

That kung fu treachery will get you every time.

[@IsiahBradley]

Oh, wow!!! THANKS most definitely for this!!!! LOL!!!! I don't think I've ever seen this!!! On the list!!! (Salli Richardson always makes me think of "Gargoyles"--she was Detective Elisa Maza, the female lead!!!)

[@Syntell]

Gargles is such a classic. It’s a shame they haven’t figured out a way to re-introduce it.

[@nupefromdaville]

Definitely check out me and Syntell's deep dive on this!

[@IsiahBradley]

@@nupefromdaville I tried but it's not ready yet! I'll check it out later today!

[@IsiahBradley]

P.S. I think you *should* do a weekly Blaxploitation/Karate Movie Day (for Saturday afternoons--when else? :)) but you should mix it up with the docudramas--"Dragon," "Baadasss," "Dolomite is My Name" with Eddie Murphy, etc.. so you can explain the whole era. (Would you risk doing "Spook/Door" or "Five/Blackhand Side?" Hmmm.) If you go the edutainment route one day a week, don't go halfway! Right or not at all, baby! LOL!!!

[@Syntell]

I love everyting about this idea.

[@nupefromdaville]

I absolutely love this idea!

[@desmoove]

I'm SO down with this I ain't even playing. DO IT!

[@WarriorSmurf]

That's Kim Whitley not Kim Coles.

[@Nay-kp6uu]

I didn't want to watch this movie cause I thought it looked dumb but this movie is actually brilliant.

[@JustGrowingUp84]

My favorite movie of Michael Jay White, his "magnum opus" if you will!

[@ALIENjoy]

Roscoe in the background THATS IT

[@phyllishahart6111]

When they did that stunt double change I cried laughing 😂😂

[@kennydeez..1774]

😂Very very Hilarious Movie. And Y'alls Reactions made me laugh harder.😅😂. Great Reactions Y'all👍🏾💯👍🏾

[@willanrac]

I am so happy people are reacting to this movie. I love it. Now that you watched the movie, go watch the cartoon, that was some wild shit.

[@PB-tr5ze]

If you haven't seen it, the 1975 movie "Dolomite" by Rudy Ray Moore, was probably the main inspiration for this movie. It was made on a shoe string budget, Rudy basically used his limited martial arts skills and pretty much wrote it as he filmed. They even made a "biopic" called "Dolomite is my name" starting Eddie Murphy, that isn't too bad. Oh and while not in the same vain, Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" staring Pam Grier, is great too.

[@davidfortuin4146]

MJW killed it! This genre needs to be resuscitated and this is a beautiful start by MJW.

[@Krusadablaze]

The Black Dynamite cartoon was just as funny. Don't know if you guys would react to that as well but it's worth checking out.

[@TJMasie44]

Yo this is dope!!! Please watch Pooty Tang next😭😭😭😭

[@Syntell]

Now that's a great suggestion.

[@Memelovespeace]

Omg please do Pootie Tang

[@TJMasie44]

👌🏾👌🏾🫶🏾😭🥹🥹 I’ll be waiting on that notification Gov’nor

[@Raven5150]

Drinking game only if anaconda malt liquor is used to do the drinking wooooo

[@CliffSedge-nu5fv]

Dang, all I got is this Colt 45.

[@BlueEyesWhiteGuy89]

If you’re looking for another blaxploitation comedy, look into Undercover Brother.

[@JayPadrig]

Everything he says rhymes- like Roadblock the GiJoe. This movie RULES! Everything is my favorite part 😎

[@drew9738]

A good overlooked movie is meet the blacks. It’s a parody of the purge. A black family moves to a white neighborhood. Something to consider.

[@Deltadivaix]

Y'all one night on a cable channel, I can't remember which one, was playing the blacksploitation movies. I couldn't believe some of that stuff. I told my mama I can't believe you guys used to watch this stuff. They were playing Coffee, My Girl Friday, White Mama Black mama, all kinds of stuff. These are all Pam Grier . And lots of boobies hanging out. A mess. I saw another movie also called Black Girl, that was an interesting one with an interesting family dynamic.

[@bighuge1060]

Your laughters killed me. This such a great parody movie that nails it subject.

[@FishThatDavidBlaineSwallowed]

Saw this movie at a black friends house when we were about 17yro. His father made us believe this movie came out in the 70's lmfao! He also made us believe Lil Wayne was a brain surgeonface Dude trolled the f*ck out of us!

[@aaronhenley4741]

But Black Dyanamite, I make money by selling drugs to the community! I laughed so hard I gave myself an asthma attack. It was worth it.

[@sjw4life546]

I feel like black cinema storytelling changes within every twenty years or so. The seventies had blaxploitation, the nineties had hood movies, and the 2010s saw a rise of what people call slave movies. For me, I would love to see afrofuturism take off as the next new thing. It's taken off in books, and since 99% of Hollywood stories are based off of novels I think it's only a matter of time before we get that genre.

[@LordVolkov]

'Did he kick them off and they boomeranged back?' 🤣🤣🤣 That gag had me laughing so hard I missed the next few minutes and had to go back. When it comes back around 😉 with Fiendish Dr Wu's boomerang knife and "Ha ha! I threw that 💩 before I walked in the room!!!" I had the same reaction 🤣🤣🤣

[@Rockmanxpr]

They jumped that shark before the movie even started! :) One of the best damn comedies ever to come out

[@gemx111]

Why didn't y'all show the scene where the boom mike shows up in the shot LOL

[@MarcosElMalo2]

I’ve seen you guys laugh hard, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard y’all giggle uncontrollably like some jive ass 🦃 🦃 🇹🇷. 😃 This might be my favorite reaction. The laughter is contagious.

[@CliffSedge-nu5fv]

I'm not even going to try that drinking game with this movie! My bottle is too full and my liver is too weak.

[@DJLawrence]

"AH HA!! I THREW THAT SH** BEFORE I ENTERED THE ROOM!!"

[@gitwer]

The original redband trailer for BD by itself is one of the funniest things I've ever seen

[@ladyhotep5189]

YOO SYNTELL! this is ny shit dude.

[@Syntell]

Listen. . . what you said. We definitely need to keep adding more content like this. Thank you for watching with us.

[@StoryTimewithMissAnna]

Y'all. I saw this in the theater, in DC at a midnight show with a big group of friends. The theater was PACKED. I had never experienced anything like this before or since, as far as audience energy goes, not even Endgame! The MOST fun. My stomach hurt from laughing. When the car door got stuck in the grass during his getaway, I've never felt like more a part of my Generation than I did when the laughter hit the theater like a tidal wave. Like, we ALL remembered that shit happening. Seeing it in a movie like this was too much, most of the movie felt this way, but for some reason, that car door gag hit everyone different. What a great memory. And what fun to enjoy seeing you two watch this and get similarly bowled over by the genius-level idiotic niche humor in this movie.

[@machtnichtsseimann]

This is an absolute Cult Classic! Great cast, score/soundtrack, satire, camera work, tons of quotable lines. ( Suggestion: Make it a double-header with "Hobo With a Shotgun". )

[@nickborrrego]

I've seen this movie easily 20 times since it came out, it never gets old 🤣🤣

[@stevenolsen1868]

Think they had a cartoon series also in adult swim that was pretty funny.

[@kimmonstockman153]

Yalls reaction to this movie has me in tears just as much as the movie itself. Black Dynamite is a CLASSIC

[@desmoove]

Have ya'll actually watched the O.G. Shaft? Has any reaction channel? Might be worth a look...

[@Syntell]

🤔 On the list.

[@desmoove]

@@Syntell Word up. I'm signing up just for that!

[@jamesjimbob71]

watched it today for the first time, really funny

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

7:03 If someone lays "flat on their face," how can they look up at you?

[@rv3704]

There’s also an animated series it’s just as good and even wilder lol

[@Yamisaru]

Very few people catch when he sais "the militant turned startled" he is reading the actuon portion of his script as if it were a line

[@MJE-riffs]

Check out the 1977 movie The Guy From Harlem. It's really something.

[@Syntell]

On my to-do list. Good looking out.

[@JackBarrugon]

This looks like a hilarious one, good recommendation.

[@billwoods9302]

There have been a few decent homages to blaxploitation cinema. Comedies such as I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and Undercover Brother are among the best, but Black Dynamite is the platinum standard , not just a parody of the plot clichés, but also the low budget production values such as visible boom microphones and poor editing. By far, this was the best reaction to this movie that I've seen so far. Your knowledge of the various actors appearing throughout the movie shows that you two are definitely students of cinema and have enormous respect for the craft.

[@baconeggsandwich]

"As he laid there, flat on his face, he looked up at me."

[@dreamshakejunya]

Saw this fresh in 2009 and have been watching regularly ever since. This movie will never get enough shine imo.

[@DstrtdMnd]

Michael Jai White has a new one like this, but a Western called Outlaw Johnny Black

"Hush up lil girl, a lot of cats have that name."

[@R2D2ghost]

My fav movie this past 15 or so years now

[@parliamentlite]

Blaxploitation spoofs at its finest is the Wayans Brothers with "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka". This movie is legit hilarious but lacks some of the emotional hooks of the old school spoof.

[@StrosB4Hos]

You gotta check the soundtrack. They recorded the entire thing with equipment from the era.

[@ManicOnTheBeat]

you guys would love the animated version

[@chiphargis2419]

Captain Kangaroo Pimp is my favorite thing in this.

[@kentinatl]

i love how everyone {even his mama} call him Dynamite or Black Dynamite..one of my 10 favorite comedy films

[@jerrisgilbert5256]

I’m so glad people are beginning to appreciate this movie as much as it deserves. Favorite comedy by far

[@3Kings_Industries]

This film is 500% high-larious ! W/o selling to the local kids and community. They through that s#!+ before they walked in the room!

[@KyleS3m3noff]

The single most quotable comedy since Lebowski. Criminally overlooked.

[@Darknamja]

Michael Jai White is our new age, Jim Kelly. 😉

[@Syntell]

Pretty much.

[@mikea1714]

If you are going to watch OG Blackexploitation films you have to watch Dolemite and Coffey
