Black Dynamite is a wonderfully crafted parody of the blaxploitation films that were a ubiquitous action staple in the '70s and B-movies. As you may expect, it's straight up Grindhouse with a no-nonsense hero that gets the ladies and deals justice on the streets. Somehow, it manages to balance parody with the alternate universe without getting completely out of hand, but knowing that it's an intentionally bad film, you really cant take anything too seriously. Aside from the hilarious dialogue, there's obvious continuity errors all over the place, mics bumpin' into actors' heads, and reuse of film to "save money." Personally, I found it all just entertaining enough to watch it until the end, but like Tropic Thunder, I found it shamefully fell short trying to retain its raucous energy throughout. 7.4/10.
