Movie Reviews of Dolemite
Movie Review: Only two reasons:
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is worth buying just for these two reasons:
1) The Hamburger Pimp (think of him as a crack-headed, nappy-haired version of Popeye's Wimpy). And he has his own theme music.
2) This movie contains the greatest single line in cinematic history.
Just as the two crooked cops (with their sideburns down to here) pull Dolemite over in a futile attempt to frame the baddest motha' around, they taunt, "You think you're so bad, Dolemite...riding around in your big fancy cars, wearing all them fancy clothes, with all of your black b*tches!" our hero snaps back with, "You forgot about the white one!"
They just don't make movies like they used two. Buy two copies, one to permanently leave in your DVD player. And the other to put under your pillow when you sleep.

Movie Review: Why? Why? Why?!
Summary: 5 Stars
I distinctly recall the first time I ever watched Dolemite. I was in college and I had just gotten off of work. I came home and my housemates informed me that the movie was on the agenda for the evening. We partook of some fine green tobacco and proceeded to watch one of the finest movies I've ever had the pleasure of screening.
The beauty of Dolemite is that it delivers exactly what you would expect from a movie of it's caliber. Karate? Check. Fights? Check. Prostitutes? Check. Karate Prostitutes. Hell Yeah!!
To sum it all up, I feel sorry for the people who actually took the time to rate this movie 1 star. You don't get it, and unfortunately for the rest of us, you most likely never will.
Movie Review: Damn, looks like my women is on time.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have ever seen a better movie, I would like to hear about it. What other movie can you see the boom microphone periodically at the top on the screen? Rudy Ray Moore's one-liners are clever and amusing("You best be lettin' me pass, before they have to be pullin' these Hush Puppies out yo m*****f*****' a**!"). It is my opinion that nobody has ever written anything that can come close to Dolemite. The only thing that Dolemite lacked was the budget. I may also argue that that's what made the movie so good. I have seen this movie at least 100 times and it gets better everytime. All I have to say is buying Dolemite is the best low cost investment I have made my entire life.Movie Review: Don't Buy It For Quality, But for Laughs!
Summary: 5 Stars
As an avid fan of the Blaxploitation Genre, you find that quite often, people shoot down these classics. The reasons ranging from Bad acting to terrible DVD Quality. However, if you don't try and dissect these films, but just watch them, then you will be greatly entertained. "Dolemite" is no doubt a prime example. I own the Box Set of "Dolemite" films, and it is very much worth watching. I see hanging mics, and various other mistakes in filmmaking (including poor editing of a love scene), but I found myself laughing until I cried. In addition to that, I have borrowed some very memorable lines for conversations at work!!!Movie Review: What can I say?
Summary: 5 Stars
I had heard of this movie for years, and I finally got to watch it on YouTube. When they removed it, I decided to buy my own copy.
This is, without a doubt, one of the funniest, most bizarre, and least politically-correct movies I've ever seen. If you've ever watched Mad TV, when Aries Spears portrayed Son Of Dolemite, you'd see that he duplicated the tone of this movie identically.
This is a must-have for the devotees of blaxpoitation, bad B-movies, or both. I believe this would qualify for the grindhouse category, as well.
Ah, the seventies. The fashions, the expressions, and the pimp wars.
