Movie Reviews of The Human Tornado
Movie Review: * * * * * for the film, cut is butchered...
Summary: 5 Stars
First, I have to point out like one of the other reviewers, the company that released it has BUTCHERED the cut, scenes are put together out of order, stuff missing, etc. Its almost to the point of ruining the film... Unfortunately, the video edition is so hard to find you might have to settle for it anyway... and still the scenes are great, but the cut will make the film feel far choppier than it actually was - - Ashame because I actually like this one more than Dolemite. The opening credits alone with the ULTRA FUNKY MUSIC and the cheap opening credits is hillarious... especially when we find out that Dolemite was so funky that he created his own form of Kung Fu that incorporated funky disco movies - - and when he wasn't practising Kung Fu he had some funky moves (and ladies) elsewhere. In fact, while arguably many of the ladies on his album covers could look pretty nasty at times, the chicks in this film are built for speed - - and well exhibited. Take the legendary "interrogation" scene with Mrs. Cavalette (when Dolemite ummmmmmmmm... questions her so hard, the hotel room starts collapsing from the ceiling...
Scene after scene in this top is over the top... and the visits to those funky mid-70's dawn of disco clubs with cameo appearences from his posse make the film the ultimate Rudy Ray Moore Film... from the music to the moves.
As for the plot... Well Dolemite's out of jail, and his club (Run by Lady Reed and her "girls") is doing too well... so the mafia steps in and kidnaps her best two gals... Dolemite, however stirs up some trouble heading out West by getting caught screwing the hick sheriff's wife (featuring the famous scene where he jumps off the cliff butt naked, the film is freeze framed and Rudy announces, "So y'all don't believe I jumped... well check this sh*t out ! ! !) With the sheriff on his trail, and a mission to find his gals, things just get crazy and crazier as Dolemite show's that he has three weapons... his mind, his moves and a third one which I happen to forget for the time being.
If you're one of the people who consideres Rudy Ray Moore's humor IGNORANT and DEGRADING, this film definitely won't change your mind... and if you're a person who likes the '70s at its funkiest, jiviest and most off the wall...
