Dolmite is back!, 2 March 2009
6/10
Author: HaemovoreRex from United Kingdom

The hilariously foul mouthed Rudy Ray Moore strikes back as his bad ass pimp creation, Dolemite in this sequel to his earlier cult hit. The good news is that this effort actually surpasses its predecessor in terms of pure entertainment value although I must say that the finale in the first film beats that found here by far. Nonetheless, this manages to up the sleaze level ten fold along with more martial arts (and I use the term VERY loosely!), more politically incorrect stereotypes, racist cops and some welcome returning characters from the first flick.

If it's high end quality you're after you'd probably be best advised to steer clear of this but on the other hand, if you can overlook certain poor production values i.e. virtually everything in this(!) and merely appreciate the raw intentions of the makers, then you may well enjoy what is on offer here.

Best scene of all for me though is an hilarious sequence wherein our hero leaps down a steep bank - the stunt being stopped mid-jump and reversed as Moore commentates over the soundtrack how cool it was(!!!) Damn, why don't they make films like this nowadays?
