    • Trivia
      In a 2023 interview with Polygon, Michael Jai White addressed one of the running jokes of the movie, regarding the casting: "Well, it's about authenticity, isn't it? So being authentic to '70s moviemaking is, 'Well, how did they cast Native Americans?' This is a parody, making a joke of things, and making statements. If you notice that there might be someone who may not be Native American playing a Native American role, [it's] authentic to that time period. But we had plenty of real Native Americans in the movie, even during the same shot, who might be staring daggers at this Anglo playing Native American. [laughs] Because if I cast a Native American in that role, it would be inauthentic."

      The quote the Reverend Percy claims is John 2:11 bears no resemblance to John 2:11. This is probably, intentional, however, since he is apparently not a bona fide pastor.
    • Quotes

      Bessie Lee: [Seeing shirtless Johnny] Holy-lujah! Umm... I brought you something for you to put in your mouth this morning. Everybody loves my hot buns. So I thought I'd come over here and give you some. Figured it's been a long time since you had any... I uh, I covered them up, to keep them hot, steamy, firm, moist. Just the way a man likes. I've also got warm honey and warm cream, you can pour on, lick off, drench and splatter all over everything. If you like. Believe me, I don't mind...

      Outlaw Johnny Black: [Getting on his knees] I hope you don't mind, I just feel obliged to bless the food, something's just come over me.

      Bessie Lee: Ooh. Just come over me too. Let me set these buns down and I'll get right down on my knees...

      Outlaw Johnny Black: No no no Bessie, you just stay on up, and you just go on and start without me.

      Bessie Lee: You don't know my appetite. I'll have that whole thing down my throat, cream and all before you can even...

      Outlaw Johnny Black: Bessie Bessie Bessie, could you just start without me and, and stop talking?

    Slow start but worth the whole thing.

    The intro was slow which was a minor issue but the cast holds the comedy and action well.

    The story was funny, light, and engaging once it picked up when Johnny enters the location of majority of the movie.

    The time spent with the characters and the way all the actors worked together was amazing you can tell they had fun while also sharing it towards people on screen.

    It was a joy to see so many familiar faces, and so many of the cast from black dynamite shows up while seeing new ones.

    I'm hard pressed to find someone who didn't deliver, one of my favorite scenes is when the character Jessie lee is introduced.

    It had me and others in the theater dying laughing.

    I would recommend to anyone who has seen the directors last work like this, and to anyone who enjoys a classic story of a villain turned hero.
