DOLEMITE screens one night only at Pop's Art Theater as part of our 3nd annual "Through the Black Lens" film series, presented in partnership with Griot Arts!Tickets available now at www.popsarttheater.com
TRAILER:
A lasting testament to rap pioneer/nightclub comic par excellence Rudy Ray Moore and the sun-bleached, smog-covered vistas of 1970s L.A., DOLEMITE remains one of blaxploitation’s greatest achievements. Here, Moore plays DOLEMITE—the greatest pimp of them all. After two years in prison on false charges, Dolemite’s back on the street and ready to settle scores (“I’ve got an all-girl army that knows what to do! They’re foxy as hell and practice kung fu!”). Moore’s homespun poetry will ring in your head for days, and the image of his schlubby figure executing karate kicks will bring a smile to your face.
1975 | 90 min. | R | USA
Dir. D'Urville Martin
