Rudy moore, durville martin did it all. None of this would fly now, but it was still the 1970s. The cars, the clothes, the hair. Leisure suits and wide ties. Directed by martin, and written by rudy moore and jerry jones. Pretty rough talking script, but it's part of the gritty, inner city fun. There's a plot in there, kind of. Dolemite will go undercover for the coppers, helping to root out the players and troublemakers, like willie green. But, like austin powers, dolemite has his own army of girls, or hookers, or something. Lots of female nudity. Lots of bad acting and a wacky script. But it's fun, and it all works. Don't mess with queen bee ( lady reed ). It's silly and crazy and naughty. And fun. The best part is that it was written and directed by black actors and directors in the business. According to the credits, rudy moore even did the set decoration himself. Fun stuff. It's a piece of hollywood history. And it would be fun to go see what's at all those los angeles locations now, fifty years later.
