About the film

When his brother is killed by a shadowy drug-dealing organization, Vietnam vet/CIA asset “Black Dynamite” hits the streets to avenge his brother’s murder and kung fu the city clean of the scourge of drugs. As he gets ever closer to the heart of the shadowy organization, BD soon realizes that the hands holding the puppet strings might just be connected to The Man…The Man in the Oval Office, that is!

Starring Michael Jai White (with a whole host of fantastic cameos from celebrities like Arsenio Hall), Black Dynamite is, well, pure dynamite. The film was made using Super 16 Kodak Color Reversal film stock to give it a grainy, high-contrast/saturated-color, low budget vibe that is beloved by any fan of the blaxploitation genre. Plus, director Scott Sanders used a “one take only” approach and permitted lots of fun imperfections to be left in the final film as a tip-of-the-hat to classic blaxploitation films of the past like Dolemite.
