Dolemite
• Release Date: Available Now on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack
• Written By: Jerry Jones, Rudy Ray Moore
• Directed By: D’Urville Martin
• Starring: Rudy Ray Moore, D’Urville Martin, Jerry Jones, Lady Reed
Dolemite is a flick stacked to the rafters with “shouldn’t”s. A man of Rudy Ray Moore’s build shouldn’t be able to pull down the insane amounts of trim he does. A man that knows so very precious little about martial arts (R.R. Moore again) shouldn’t be attempting those high kicking moves. These people that are about as far away from being actual actors (with a few exceptions) as my house is from Venus shouldn’t be reading reams of dialogue. Actually, this whole production shouldn’t be entertaining or even watchable, but holy hell is it ever!!
The long and short of the tale is this: (maybe) pimp and club owner...

Remember that scene in The Boondock Saints, where Rocco can’t comprehend how Connor and Murphy MacManus pull of their death-defying assassination stunt after breaking through a hotel air vent? You know, this rant?
That’s exactly how Dangerous Men makes me feel.
The late John S. Rad’s film is a technical clusterf$ck, from unsynced audio to horrendous jump cuts without any foreseeable logic. This is a poorly constructed film in every imaginable category, from actors who are dead on arrival, to a story that can’t be more than a few sentences long. Yet if you’re reading about Dangerous Men, then I assume you’ve already seen Roar and Miami Connection. In that case, you’re probably already dying to hear what abhorrent cinematic atrocities await in this year’s only true cult phenomenon – Drafthouse’s latest resurrection release.
Do you really need a plot summary here?...

Man Trouble: Rad Enters Race for Worst Film Ever Made
A unique oddity even amongst contemporary counterparts competing for notoriety as one of the worst films ever made, John S. Rad’s Dangerous Men is, without a doubt, a terribly made film. What is perhaps most fascinating is the laborious production of the film. Rad, an Iranian immigrant, began making his labor of love in the 1980s, and would continue to film sequences over the next two decades. In that time, cast members and characters seem to have disappeared, explaining a jumbled narrative and a myriad of unexplainable events. The film does perhaps usurp Tommy Wisseau’s strange perseverance to complete his 2003 opus The Room, another director seemingly clueless about all aspects of the filmmaking process yet still determined to complete his compromised vision.
But as far as film criticism goes, it’s difficult to correctly ascertain the value...
