Oakland Underground Film Festival presents ‘Black Dynamite’.
BLACK DYNAMITE is destined for cult film status. This action-packed comedy is meticulously and lovingly rooted in the great traditions of American Blaxploitation and Kung Fu films. A fresh and outrageous remix of films like “Shaft” (1971), “Super Fly” (1972), and “The Mack” (1974), BLACK DYNAMITE is wrapped in a delicious and funky original soundtrack. Directed by Scott Sanders, BLACK DYNAMITE is “…a neck-snapping orgy of martial-arts mayhem…” (Film Threat) and “…sustains the comedy while taking a nice big sucker punch at the underlying politics of our time.” (Sundance Film Festival) Don’t miss your chance to see this soon-to-be classic film that “…leaves its predecessors in the dust, largely thanks to its filmmakers’ genre expertise, zany plot/sharp comedy writing, and of course, the physical prowess and deadpan hilarity of its co-writer/star Michael Jai White, who is one bad, righteous mothaf*cka.” (Marlow Stern) Presented by The Oakland Underground Film Festival.
