This video combines moments from the trailer with bits from my conversation with the filmmakers – all captured on a handy Flip Mino Camcorder.

Back in the day, films like Shaft, Foxy Brown and Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song styled funkalicious jazzy soundtracks, tough dim heroes and heroines and sinful white cops and politicians. A modern genre was born, both celebrating and exploiting dismal culture, targeting urban African-American audiences with its style and subject matter. Some of the best of these films have become cult favorites, and have influenced original filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, whose Jackie Brown paid explicit homage to the genre he’d grown up on and loved. Shaft was recently remade in slick Hollywood style by John Singleton; but for the current gross budget style and campy flair you had to go to the bargain bin dvd versions, until now.
Created by Scott Sanders and Michael Jai White, Sunless Dynamite tells the sage of a qualified brother, who’s got kung fu skills and knows honest how to please the ladies. What he can’t do is what he promised his mother on her death bed: protect his brother from the drug lords that are destroying the inner city. Upon hearing that his brother was killed, he swears revenge and sets out on a quest to study those responsible. It turns out this was no simple hit – his brother’s assassination was share of a gargantuan conspiracy to disempower blacks by hitting them where it hurts the worst, and the conspiracy goes all the blueprint to the top: President Richard Nixon himself, who, it turns out, has some sweet kung fu moves all his bear.

The film is hilarious, taking all of the absurd, campy, raunchy and cold elements of worn 70′s blaxploitation films like Superfly and Dolemite, and tying them together into an absurdly droll chronicle revenge and save-the-world flick.
Part of the appeal is that the film mimics the on-the-fly imperfection of the archaic B-movie style Blaxploitation. Sing mikes occasionally appear in the shot, distracting the actor; clear continuity problems (a woman whose inch of sadness appears and then disappears and reappears as the camera cuts befriend and forth between her and the gigantic BD; an actor is suddenly replaced by a stand-in mid-scuffle, after he is obviously injured by a punch) add to the overall lightheartedness of the endeavor.
What impressed me, though, was that the film was not mocking blaxploitation, but rather paying homage. The filmmakers clearly know and worship these films. Best of all, though, is Michael Jai White’s absolute immersion in character as a tough-as-nails crusader whose soft heart and troubled demeanor only occasionally surfaces. I haven’t laughed out loud this mighty during a film in a very long time. Highly recommended, but not for the shrinking.
“Unlit Dynamite,” starring actor, martial artist, and conventional stuntman Michael Jai White, is a riproaring but affectionate sendup of “blaxploitation” films, action films with dismal stars that started with “Shaft” in 1971 starring Richard Roundtree, and grew to be the greatest burst of gloomy participation in Hollywood history. Sad actors, writers, and directors worked as never before, and created films that drew massive dim audiences. These films created heroes out of private eyes, pimps, Vietnam veterans, drug dealers, hustlers, and dusky revolutionaries. These films were cheaply made, and were often derided by film critics and scholars, but shaded audiences saw a Hollywood fantasy breeze do on character types they knew, frustration they had being voiced, and perhaps most importantly, sunless people fighting and beating the system.
The spot involves White as Shaded Dynamite, a neighborhood enforcer whose brother gets killed by a unsavory alliance between drug dealers and the mob. Sad Dynamite begins a rampage of vengeance, beating up the poor guys, and loving and charming women as he goes. The movie uses both sizable and subtle humor to point out the silliness inherent in these films, but it is all done with savor and affection.
Black Dynamite is a very laughable film that harkens help to another space and time – when there wasn’t expansive blockbusters starring Will Smith and Jamie Foxx, and when the best entertainment in town was a film showing sunless people “sticking it to the man.”
