DOLEMITE-1975-Perhaps in his day,
rhyming comedian Rudy Ray Moore was cool. Nowadays, he's an
unintentional laugh-riot at least in this his first movie. Moore
plays the title character, a wrongly convicted jive talking pimp nut
job who is let out of prison to help bring down gangster Willie Green
(D'Urville Martin who also directed). He beats up white guys (the
fight scenes are pathetic) and lives with several hookers and a
madame named Queen Bee (Lady Reed). He wants revenge because of the
death of his nephew. He does a rhyming routine about The Titanic for
some drunken “fans” who can't afford to see him perform and gets
information from a drug addict named Creeper (said to have been a
real junkie).
Two corrupt white cops dog his trail. Meanwhile an
undercover FBI agent Blakeley (Jerry Jones; also the screenwriter)
tries to help Dole. After performing at his own club, Dole enlists a
bunch of Kung-Fu fighting whores to battle Green's gang. Even the
cook in the club beats up a guy! Dolemite gets bloody vengeance on
Green but the real bad guy behind it all is the corrupt weaselly
white mayor (Hy Pike). The scenes of the FBI agents chasing down the
mayor seem like part of a different movie. There's also a weird
preacher and Moore saying things like “That's for fuckin' with me
you no business born insecure motherfucker!”. Moore is also created
with original adaptation.
Thanks for reading!
