    • Trivia
      The 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).
    • Goofs
      About 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 versions
      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.

    Mr Moore and his hush puppies!

    Who said sequels suck? Not Rudy Ray Moore who IS the human tornado! You better hope you never meet Dolemite just before he drops one of his ass kickin', head beatin' rap soliloquay's, as this would warrant a reversed film jump onto a rooftop with a sloppy slap to the mouth, while his topless beauties sit in the background laughing it up in what must be the (intentionally) funniest Blacksploitation film ever (yes funnier than the original Dolemite film!)

    You will not only laugh at the fight scenes, but the dialogue is hilarious! Forget competent filmmaking as that adds for all the enjoyment!. All serious expectations should be left at the front door when watching this.

    A true gem that will never be recreated except in the music video's of Snoop dogg. (and thats a good thing!)
