Still from Black Dynamite (2008)
Forget Bruno. Forget The Hangover, the must-see comedy of 2009 is Black Dynamite. If you like your movies like your coffee: black, then you can't miss this hilarious homage to blaxploitaton films of the 70s.
When`the man' kills his only brother, pumps heroin into local orphanages and starts shrinking the male anatomy through a malt liquor, there's only one brother bad enough to unravel the conspiracy: Black Dynamite.
Complete with kung fu, orgies and ass-whooping there's no cliché left unused in this brief but brilliant film. Robert Downey Jr's Sergeant Lincoln Osiris via Kirk Lazarus from Tropic Thunder looks like a private schoolboy compared to the Michael Jai White's superb and often shirtless portrayal of Black Dynamite. I dare you not to be reduced to giggles when he utters the line "First lady, I'm sorry I pimp slapped you into that china cabinet... I use excessive force."
On the surface it may seem as ridiculous as a Paris Hilton album, but you will be hard pressed to find a film as funny and as fresh in cinemas all year. Carefully treading the line between parody an pandemonium, Black Dynamite is an explosive comedy you'd be a fool for missing.
