In this glorious retro homage to ’70s blaxploitation cinema, director Scott Sanders isn’t so much traversing I’m Gonna Git You, Sucka territory as he is making a full-length Grindhouse spoof trailer — and doing a shockingly awesome job of it. — Shaula Clark, The Boston Phoenix

Madcap-brilliant! A one-of-a-kind comedy high! -Owen Glieberman, Entertainment Weekly

I’ve seen a lot of 1970s films, and I’m here to tell you that Black Dynamite gets it mostly right, and when it’s wrong, it’s wrong on purpose and knows just what it’s doing. -Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times

Martial arts mayhem and vehicular pandemonium! This movie’s like a blaxploitation classic you somehow missed back in the day. Time to catch up! -Kurt Loder, MTV

When “The Man” murders his brother, pumps heroin into local orphanages, and floods the ghetto with adulterated malt liquor, Black Dynamite is the one hero willing to fight all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House.
