Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe cave they pull into during the car chase is none other than Bronson Cave, known to millions for its use in such films and TV shows as Batman (1966), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and It Conquered the World (1956).
- GoofsAbout 15 minutes or so into the film, as Dolemite is being chased by an Alabama county Sheriff (because he got caught in bed with said Sheriff's wife), you can see the Hollywood sign as they drive through the upper roads of Griffith Park... and then they talk about how they have to get moving out to California.
- Quotes
Mrs. Cavaletti: He made me do it!
Dolemite: Bitch, are you for real?
- Alternate versionsTwo different video tape versions exist in box with same cover art, from same company. One version edits out the gay driver sequence and moves the opening credits sequence to where it would be.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Best of Sex and Violence (1982)
Featured review
Picked this up with Dolemite on Bluray and gotta say, both movies were very entertaining. Yeah, the acting is wooden, the fight scenes are ridiculous, and there's almost no plot, but it's all part of the fun. It still has the kung-fu, scantily clad girls and of course, plenty of Dolemite rap.
However, the movie is severely lacking a lot of the things that made the first movie what it is. I keep seeing things stating that Dolemite is back with his army of kung-fu girls, but never once do we ever get to see any of that. Most of the girls are just around for looking at, save for a couple like Java. Dolemite himself seems to have lost his many wonderful outfits and even more of his quirky one-liners. Literally only one "rat soup eatin' MF-er" in the entire movie.
The plot is really slow to move in this one too. They end up with two separate plots that actually come together about half way through the movie and neither of which are really sure what they want to do. You have the ultra racsist Alabama sheriff who caught Dolemite in bed with his wife and the second plot of Queen Bee and her girls being taken by another club owner, mob boss type character. Most of the action doesn't come until nearly two thirds of the way through the movie, which is kind of a bummer because you come to expect a lot of over the top action like the first one.
Speaking of action, more badly choreographed fights, but this time they (mostly) look like they're actually hitting someone with punches and kicks looking like they actually have some power behind them. The problem is that some of the fights are sped up and it makes it hard to see anything. Not sure why they decided to do that, but they could have done without it. The only car chase scene is also sped up and doesn't really do anything except drive down a dirt road, a mud puddle and eventually a cave... which just so happens to be the entrance to the Adam West Batcave.
All of the acting is just as you would expect. If they aren't talking like they're reading their lines off the back of their hands, they're acting so over dramatic that it somehow balances it all out. The sheriff alone is just a hoot to watch, it makes you wonder how someone like him even got to be a sheriff... maybe that's how they do things in Alabama?
So, not nearly as good as the first film, but to be able to see both films only days apart was a great experience and I highly recommend you do the same if you can!
