Caught this at a midnight showing and the audience was in a roar over that line (among many others). What a set up!

I'm 18 year old Black Dynamite and you're my 16 year old brother, Jimmy.

Saw this last night and plan on going again at our local arthouse's debut of it in 2 weeks. This movie BEGS to be seen with a raucous crowd with lots of in everyone's hands.

Count me in for Blu!

One of my favorite quotes:
Euphoria, shut the fuck up!!! I know it was you, I ain't even gotta look! I should send your ass back to Crenshaw Pete with his hot-ass coat hangers, bitch! Would you like that?

Crap. Looks like this isn't going to make it to any theaters around me.

I understand though... the cineplexes need all the screens they can get to show 3 different versions of "A Christmas Carol" and to show "New Moon" on 5 different screens. Makes perfect sense to have 16 screens but only show 8 different movies.

That line elicited at least 10 seconds of steady laughter from the audience.

I'll be up front for my sincere love for "Black Dynamite" but I just don't get some of the hate reviewers have piled on this movie. I really think, ten years from now, this will be another "The Big Lebowski" were critics will covertly begin to praise it for it's comedic genius.
