Black Dynamite: A very R-rated Red Ban trailer.
Think of this film as a Grindhouse type film, except it is a blaxploitation movie. I really enjoyed the Grindhouse movies, so I’m looking forward to the movie. And like Grindhouse, I think mostly film geeks will enjoy and get more out of the film. I’ll still probably see it on DVD.
Here’s a clean teaser trailer without the MF’ers and nudity.
The red-band trailer, in the link above, is not as funny as this one, but has more r-rated stuff. Plus, you get to see shots pornstars Charlotte Stokely and Charmane Star naked. However, if you already know their names, you’ve seen them do worst things than taking off their clothes.
Michael Jai White, the guy that was killed by the Joker in The Dark Knight and played Spawn, is Black Dynamite. He seems to be playing the role in a comedic tone. I think he fits the role perfectly.
Both Keenen Ivory Wayans (A Low Down Dirty Shame) and Samuel L. Jackson (Shaft remake) have tried to bring this brand of filmmaking back with little success. I enjoyed both of those films though. Keep in mind, Grindhouse also failed to make some coin too.
Btw, Any movie that has a guy knocking over an old woman can’t be that bad right?

There is a set of Grind House trailers on Youtube that start with Trouble Man (with a Marvin Gaye soundtrack) and then Bernie Casey in Hitman, and I want to see both of those motion pictures.
Part of me wonders if one could do a Blaxploitation movie today without it being a comedic homage.
You should watch those aforementioned trailers and then watch the Red band trailer again.
I think the closest they've come to a modern serious one was The Four Brothers. I don't there is a market for it the age of Step up 2 the streets and High school musical.
