from the trailer to the soundtrack...i'm more excited about this than ANYTHING on the horizon
417026, this trailer isn't as good as the first one.
Posted by Orfeo_Negro, Wed Nov-26-08 01:07 PM
the first one actually looked and felt like a note-perfect recreation of blaxploitation... this one strikes me a bit like like an overlong Wayans Brothers sketch.

428125, Sundance update: BD acquired by Sony for $2 mil (swipe)
Posted by ZooTown74, Mon Jan-19-09 02:29 PM
deadlinehollywooddaily.com:

>MONDAY AM UPDATE: I told you last night that the blaxsploitation spoof Black Dynamite was "an instant cult hit" at Sundance following the cheering at its packed midnight screening at the Library last night. Now it sold to Sony for $2M -- the second purchase at the film festival and the first overnight sale.

As the film premiered, I hear Sony Picture's Worldwide Acquisition Group led by Peter Schlessel, and Endeavor Independent's Graham Taylor, Alexis Garcia, Mark Ankner and Liesl Copland repping the producer, negotiated in multiple rooms back at the agency's condo the rest of the night.

Not only does the pic have a North American theatrical release commitment for this year, but also franchise expectations. "Astounding in a tough market for a little film without high-profile cast. It's a cinderella story," an insider tells me.

Posted by navajo joe, Tue Jan-20-09 12:50 PM
1. it wasn't made for 8-12 million dollars.

2. that's a good deal coming off sundance. how quick it was snapped up and how much they put into it shows confidence in the picture.
449303, Do we know when this is coming out yet?

Posted by ZooTown74, Tue Mar-24-09 01:04 AM
Some of the jokes were obvious and went on a bit too long, but it was still very funny... if you loved or even liked blaxploitation flicks (let's just say that it helps), you'll dig this... it's a very affectionate spoof... Michael Jai White owned the screen, and had some help from cats like Tommy Davidson (!), Cedric Yarbrough and Arseniooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Hall (!!)... (Bokeem Woodbine was barely in the movie)... they nailed all of the things that we love about blaxploitation flicks (down to the shitty production values and bad dialogue), and added a bit of a tribute to Enter the Dragon and other kung fu flicks as well...

There were some issues, however... the women in the film got short shrift as far as the action was concerned (particularly Salli Richardson-Whitfield with her fine ass)... the pacing of the film was off a little (even at an approximate running time of 85 minutes)... but overall, it had a lot of funny moments... and while I appreciated the fact that they nailed a lot of the blaxploitation conventions, it didn't necessarily make for fresh material... and some of the jokes were of the eye-rolling, wow-that-was-too-obvious variety (I believe they're going to have to cut a short running joke about an L.A. staple... while it was funny, I don't believe it's going to play across America)...

But still, overall, this is some good, funny shit.

And even though parts of it dragged my boy and I were rolling loud and hard when people were silent.

the pacing, then I wouldn't have seen a test screening

The movie dragged a little when (SPOILER) they got to the island

Posted by Deluge, Sun May-31-09 01:00 PM
HOURS when the whole movie is only like what 85mins
however this is still one of my favorite movies ever made
just the way they totally nailed making a 70s flick
the music is insane
i have a feeling this is going to go over a lot of peoples' heads though

The island part did drag although it had one of the most hilarious lines in the whole movie. ("Haha! I thew that shit from the other ROOOM!")

And the final battle was very anti-climactic, I thought. That whole shit just seemed to drag on for a long time.
