Dolemite II: The Human Tornado - Cliff Roquemore - USA - (1976)




Plot by Imdb:" Dolemite comes to the rescue of Queen Bee, whose primarily black Nightclub is threatened by White Mafia types."

A part of the Dolemite movie series (that, of course, have very little in common apart from the main character), "The Human Tornado" is a never seen before investigation into the absurd. A moment in cinema history that stands the test of time and will be referred as, in the future, one of the worst movie of all time, as well as one of the funnier. If you have my kind of humor. I must add right now that Rudy Ray Moore is one of my heroes (with Wesley Willis, amongst others. More on Wesley later on). Every movie he made during the seventies is a Blaxploitation gem, more hysterical and fucked up than the previous one. To begin with, Rudy Ray Moore is everything that is interesting in those movies, the rest is meaningless. 
HE is the MAN. 
And what a man: overweight, dressed as a pimp with clothes out of a Disneyland garage sale, beating the shit out of his adversaries with his invented-overacted-false-kung-fu (the fighting sequences are played in fast forward in general), Rudy Ray Moore is mainly a singer / entertainer and above everything else a womanizer. I'm sure the  ladies reading this will be turned on, just by looking at the pictures of Rudy.  Yes, Rudy's effect on women is amazing and he never misses a chance to score...The plot doesn't matter, the cheapness f it all doesn't matter, only Rudy Ray Moore matters. He makes this movie a marvelous experience, as you will just roll on the floor laughing more than once...
HILARIOUS & UNMISSABLE !
Check out his others movies that are equally insane: Dolemite (the first), Petey Weatstraw and Disco Godfather (a hell of a guilty pleasure).
