That's my FATHER!!!
Funny enough I had never seen this movie until I turned 21 years old.I had heard my mom talk about my father acting in a couple of movies, but I hadn't seen any of them until this one.This was one of the funniest, worst movies I have ever seen.It was rediculous but hilarious.I couldn't help but laugh throughout the movie.My dad Marvin Jones plays Scarface Willie in the movie, and it was funny to watch him act.Cliff Roquemore was my father's best friend and it was nice to see his children throughout the movie.I give this movie 5 stars for it being funny and chock full of my family!

Great Old-Fashioned Comedy!
While sitting on the couch trying to recover from an extremely painful tooth extraction, I looked around for a diversion.My eyes lighted on this video, which I had purchased previously but not yet viewed.I was not disappointed; this turned out to be one of the funniest movies I have seen in years!Every character and situation was taken to the extreme, the plot was ludicrous but oh so funny, and Petey's poetic jokes were hilarious.It looked like everyone was enjoying playing his/her role to the hilt.Petey's attempt to beat Lucifer at his own game was bound to fail, as we all knew it would, but it was sure fun watching him try to get out of marrying the ugliest woman ever seen.A few splashes of wisdom are thrown in for good measure.Leroy and Skillet were a comedy team who should have gone straight to the top of the comedic ladder of fame; they were funny enough to build a TV series around their shenanigans.It looked like everyone was having a great time making this film. I laughed from beginning to end and it sure helped take my mind off my throbbing jaw.This movie is offensive only if you are the type of person who takes life way too seriously and cannot laugh at his/her own human foibles.Though raunchy at times, it is a relief to view a comedy that doesn't rely on a continuous stream of sexual jokes to succeed, but creates a nice balance which results in a comedy all adults can enjoy.It has certainly gained a place among my top 10 most favorite comedy films.If you are willing to suspend any semblance of reality and just want to have a good time, get this movie.It is just the thing to brighten your day. Thank you, Mr. Wheatstraw and company, for reminding us that life does have its lighter moments.

This film is THE most deranged, horrific, nasty, disturbing, idiotic mess I have EVER seen pass itself off as a comedy. It's awesome. Read more

* * * * * for the film, cut is butchered...
First, I have to point out like one of the other reviewers, the company that released it has BUTCHERED the cut, scenes are put together out of order, stuff missing, etc.Its almost to the point of ruining the film... Unfortunately, the video edition is so hard to find you might have to settle for it anyway... and still the scenes are great, but the cut will make the film feel far choppier than it actually was - - Ashame because I actually like this one more than Dolemite.The opening credits alone with the ULTRA FUNKY MUSIC and the cheap opening credits is hillarious...especially when we find out that Dolemite was so funky that he created his own form of Kung Fu that incorporated funky disco movies - - and when he wasn't practising Kung Fu he had some funky moves (and ladies) elsewhere. In fact, while arguably many of the ladies on his album covers could look pretty nasty at times, the chicks in this film are built for speed - - and well exhibited.Take the legendary "interrogation" scene with Mrs. Cavalette (when Dolemite ummmmmmmmm... questions her so hard, the hotel room starts collapsing from the ceiling...
So Bad, It's Good.
If you're in need of some good laughs and are willing to overlook poor dialogue, an even worse plot and shoddy camera work, this is your movie.
The Kung-Fu is worth the purchase price alone!!!
Don't believe the fools who doubt Rudy Ray Moore!!! How can people look at the Dolemite movies seriously? The opening credits are printed on his GIANT JAMES-BROWN-STYLE CAPE!! You'll never enjoy the sensory overload and outright absurdity of these movies if you try to THINK about them. Just have a six-pack and a few smart-mouthed friends around when you watch it.

Funny!
No, this film isn't meant to be funny.But it is anyway!Rudy Ray Moore is "The Avenging Disco Godfather", a heroic...D.J.?Very odd, and quite weird as well.The story centers around drugs (go figure), and the young people who get high have weird visions about...basketball (see, I told you it was weird).
Laughed so hard, made my side hurt.............
Man,lemme tell you. This movie is funny WITHOUT a beer. If you're expecting a high quality Soul Cinema picture, with somewhat decent resolution level & clarity ( i.e. Willie Dynamite, Shaft, etc ) this ain't it. The lighting in this movie is terrible ! LOL !!! The dialogue is muffled, the editing sucks and the acting is incredibly hilarious ( though it wasn't meant to be ). Like some of the other reviews attested, this mug is funny.

A Blessing for Rudy Ray Fans
Personally, I don't think there's anything quite as compelling as a good documentary, and this is a really good documentary.I've been a Dolemite fan for ages, but I knew nothing about Rudy Ray's career before the '70s, like when he first introduced the Dolemite character, or that fifty years ago he was known as R&B singer Prince Dumar. Rudy!You got my money!
Don't let him get yours.Keep your money.This was awful!

a must have
Rudy Ray Moore is a Genius.this video tape is a must who respect true Legends.he is the only Rapping Comedian that i've ever heard.he is very Underrated&deserves more attention.he is a true Underground Legend.asfunny as anybody that i've ever heard.his films are great. ... Read more

Cinematic Masterpiece
Eschewing conventional acting methodology, Rudy Ray Moore inhabits Dolemite with an unparalleled ferocity.His signature line, "I'm Dolemite, Mutha(expletive)" is delivered time and time again in a drunken slur: a brutal, but anguished, plea for sanity.To the untrained eye, it might seem like Dolemite's karate kicks are not even connecting with his foes, but this is a metaphor for the never ending conundrum of the pimp/poet/warrior.Watch for the symbolism inherent in the furry hat and pay close attention to the pants that come up to his armpits as both are integral to understanding the magnificence that is Dolemite.
Only two reasons:
This movie is worth buying just for these two reasons:
Cinematic Masterpiece!!
I recently had the pleasure of watching a film starring the Hunkiest specimen of Man-meat ever to grace the silver screen. It was Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite. Let me start off by saying this is quite possibly the finest film ever made. Dolemite himself is a man so baaad that he doesn't even feel the need to be in good shape to impress us, he let's his martial arts do the talkin'. If Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Tony Jaa were all combined into one glorious person they would still aspire to be Dolemite. To the untrained eye it would appear that Dolemite is not actually hitting people in the fight scenes. In reality he is just so fast that he can snap his hands and feet there and back so quickly that it gives the viewer the illusion that his foot is six inches away from the targets head.

Tricked
I was expecting a new Dolemite movie, really this is a badly subbed Asian film with Rudy Ray Moore thrown in to "watch." LAME.

Very funny but some long slow scenes
This movie is so funny! The ghetto slangs used to dub over the real voices are hilarious! It has an east coast vs. west coast conflict;making a spoof out of the east coast vs. west coast thing w/ rap music. Also one of the character's name is Tu-Pac, and his character is funny as hell! I love this movie, I don't know why some people don't like it. But then again, I also love South Park, which some people find offensive rather than funny. I guess if you love South Park you'll also love this movie.

Pay as little as you can and watch it in installments
Amazon doesn't provide a way to simultaneously give this 1 star and 5 stars...

More and Better than just the Godfather of Rap
Mr. Moore proudly bills himself as the Godfather of Rap, much as James Brown is the Godfather of Soul.His claim is well-founded, as his work dating back to the late 1960's was quite original and far ahead of itstime.His achievments are far greater and more profound than merely thearea of Rap music, which has never lived up to the name of Rudy Ray Moorein any of its other manifestations.Read more
