Goofs
Dolemite gets into Bo's car naked with his hat and clothes in his hands. The next shot shows him almost completely dressed, even though the car is still close enough to the house to be hit by gunfire from the sheriff's men, so only a few seconds could have elapsed; it's seriously doubtful that he could have gotten dressed this quickly while sharing the backseat with another passenger.

Two 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. See more »Connections

A must for any film buff of any era. How can you ignore Ernie Hudson's motion picture debut. Rudy Ray Moore, did so much, with so little. Some studio needs to put him to work again.
The film is great, Jimmy Lynch is amazing. Lady Reed is wonderful. Rudy is at his best. Bring in Howard Jackson was a great move to see real, authentic martial arts.
Far ahead of its time.
