Trivia

Michael Jai White first had the idea for the movie while filming Undisputed II: Last Man Standing in Bulgaria. James Brown's Superbad was playing on his iPod and the "blaxpoitation" film idea came to him. He first wanted to call the film Superbad, but that title had already been taken so he came up with Black Dynamite. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: In the diner, Black Dynamite writes "M&Ms" on the black board, but later on the second "M" looks more like a squiggle and there is no "s" at the end. See more »
