Dolemite

[BTalbott]

Dolemite is the true Mack Daddy! A real Pimp! He is the one that started it all. As he has said before, "I was through with it before y'all even knew what to do with it." Dolemite and Dolemite II has enough funny one liners, you will not run out for years. Just the horrible plots and production will keep you in stitches. The stuff he says and does is unreal. I do think you have to be familiar with "Black Culture" to truly understand and appreciate this film and character. BUT BY ALL MEANS... DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND RENT THIS FOR A GOOD LAUGH. "I aint lyin'!" - Dolemite

P.S.
"It's like the bath tub said to the toilet... I get just as much ass as you get, but I don't have to put up with all of that s**t" - Dolemite

This is the best damn movie ever made. I went out and bought it after I rented it.

Hmmm...RUdy Ray Moore is a real jackass. Cool movie though. Your rat soup eatin' honkey motherf**ker!!! I give it 3.5/5. The sequel The Human Tornado is even better.

I've been quoting this movie for weeks now, and I can't get the "Dolemite" theme or that song "Time on the Side" out of my head, you rat soup-eating, jock-jawed, mutha f@$#%s!  By all means, if you are on this site, and love bad (and bad-ass) movies, you've got to get "Dolemite!"

Dolemite isn't a good movie. Dolemite is the biggest waste of time. The fights blow, his one-liners are HORRIBLE. There is no action until the last 10 minutes of the movie. Dolemite ain't s**t. Shaft is good, but Dolemite has 0% action, 0% comedy & 100% boredom. You will feel like an a***ole for buying or renting this piece of s**t.

Thats one bad-ass mother f**ker of a movie

kick ass movie. but who you call The Creeper, I have always called him Hamburger Pimp. It just seems to fit. Thought people might like to know.

The best use of the word "f**k" and "mother f**ker" ever

Dolemite is probably the weakest of Rudy Ray Moore's four feature films (but still a masterpiece, in a wierd way). I must recommend "The Avenging Disco Godfather" above all for its portrayal of what it's like to be on PCP (Wack), and "Petey Wheatstraw, the Devil's Son-in-Law" has without doubt the most well-developed plot of any RRM movie. FYI I own a copy of "Dolemite II, the Human Tornado" and I do NOT recommend it as a date movie, ever. Unless she really like Malt Liquor, in which case all bets are off.

Best enjoyed with a 40 of St. Ides. Or two.

My friends and I found out about this movie through this site, and decided to check it out. After just one showing, we were hooked. Rudy Ray Moore is the greatest pimp daddy of them all. Forget Willie Greene..DOLEMITE is the baddest muthafu**a the world has ever seen! We now walk around campus randomly shouting out lines from the movies. This movie is, without a doubt, one of the greatest B-movies of all time. And if you don't agree with me, then they gonna have to remove these hush puppies out yo muthafu**in a$$!!

"Dolemite" is one of my all time favorite movies and gets my vote for best blaxploitation movie ever made!Rudy Ray Moore has an electrifying screen presence and the in-your-face street level atmosphere keeps you glued from start to finish.Anyone that doesn't like this film has no grasp on the real Black experience during the 70's,which were heady times for everyone.This film is an excellent rebuttal to the castrated,politically correct times we live in.Dolemite is the ultimate Ghetto hero.No offense to Shaft,Superfly or Black Caesar,but this movie is as lowdown and funky as it gets!Truly an underrated classic.The sequel,"The Human Tornado", is almost as good and is a must-see,as well.

     Please do not take this movie too seriously.

First of all, this site is excellent! And just when I thought I've seen every bad movie ever made, I discover that I somehow missed DOLEMITE!!! This movie is the "Stairway To Heaven" of bad movies. I laughed until tears rolled down my face during several scenes. Things I learned:

-It's easy to post bail for triple homicide and heroin possesion.

-If boiling water doesn't do the trick, then just apply direct flame.

If you only saw the boom mike once, you weren't paying much attention. This is the first movie ever where the boom mike asked for third billing, and SAG actually granted the challenge.

This movie was so good it made me cry. Thanks for the great
review, it was the review that made me buy this movie and
watch it three times without having a dull moment. BTW,
I also made many of my friends and guests watch it. Those
with taste and class remained my friends, and it was good
riddance for those who didn't have the brains to appreciate
it. I also ended up buying "The Human Tornado" and "Disco Godfather". THD definitely surpasses the high standards set
by Dolemite, and in my not-so-humble opinion represents
the creme-de-la-creme of the 70s culture. The only unfortunate part is that after the movie, your life can only go downhill.
