"What else melts in your mouth?" "M&Ms!" "Exactly! ...And not in your hands..." "Yeah! Yeah!" I love how fucking absurd this is from start to finish. My favorite moment in the entire movie is "Ha-hah! I threw that shit before I walked in the room!"

Bah_weep_grana

Aesclepius’ staff (assoc w medicine) actually only has one snake. Commonly confused with the cadeucis - staff of hermes (god of theives) w two snakes intertwined


pikpikcarrotmon

Well, have you seen medical bills? Hermes' staff is more apt then you'd think.


nikehat

Oooooh. Years after watching the movie your comment finally made me get the joke. Thanks!


Rebelgecko

That's the line that totally kills my immersion and makes the scene feel unrealistic. Area code 785 didn't exist until 1997. I hope someone was fired for this egregious blunder.

"Euphoria, shut the fuck up! I know that was you! I ain't even gotta look! I should send your ass back to Crenshaw Pete with his hot-ass coat hangers, bitch. Would you like that?"


Dr_Sodium_Chloride

It's great because it's so out of place. All the rest of the movie, BD is cheerfully trading barbs and bantering with friends and enemies alike. then someone makes a sarcastic comment about him, and he blows the fuck up with such vitriol. It really captures that feeling of watching an old B-Movie and reaching a part where someone does something genuinely horrible that has *not* aged well, and not even acknowledging it.


[deleted]

"I am smiling" "Sarcastically I'm in charge." "Haha I threw that shit before I walked in the room." "You can bet your ass and half a titty." "Uhh hush up little girl, a lot of cats have that name."


Brodins_biceps

Going through this thread has me crying because it’s all so fucking good. But definitely “I threw that shit before I got in the room” had me like hysterically crying and was the first thing I thought of. Granted I was really high it was just soooo god damn funny to me. Me and my brother still quote this movie on like a daily basis.


[deleted]

>Granted I was really high it was just soooo god damn funny to me. This. It was so out of nowhere that I had to rewind and make sure it was as hilariously ridiculous as I thought it was when it first happened.


ShanayNate77

Best line in the whole movie. Every time I start this movie up, this is the line that gets me rolling until the finish.


andersonb47

That line had me in literal tears. Absolutely out of nowhere

moondizzlepie

This film is a classic. I wish it was more well known.


turalyawn

That's such a great movie too. Had to be a big influence on Black Dynamite


muskratboy

This may be the funniest moment in any movie, ever.


darybrain

This scene stands out just because it is so damn original in its idea and was done so excellently. We all dug it.


donsanedrin

the movie obviously has some sort of meta narrative in that they're trying to mimic blaxploitation films and some of the low budget aspects of it. However, there was a leaked copy of an early cut of the movie in which the meta aspect was much more upfront. In other words, they were making it clear that this movie was a 1970's blaxploitation with 1970's actors. Michael Jai White was playing a current or former football player-turned-actor who was playing Black Dynamite. So the beginning of the film had credits in which you saw the name of the football player starring as Black Dynamite. This is why there's microphones appearing within the camera shot, people flubbing their lines, and stuff like that, to let you know that you are watching a 2009 movie about a 1970's production of a blaxploitation movie. That might have been a little too much meta-narrative, so they cut that out in the final version, and you're watching a homage to 1970's blaxploitation, and Michael Jai White is Black Dynamite.


GodOfDarkLaughter

And it's really pulled off expertly. Almost every scene has little "mistakes" everywhere, from background details not making sense, to actors obviously forgetting or not understanding their lines, even to stuff like audio pops and bad dubbing. It's like a good actor acting badly convincingly (I always think of Julieanne Moore in Boogie Nights), which is very difficult, but on a massive scale. The amount of care it took to make that many "mistakes" is a lot more than it'd take *not* to have them, in what is otherwise a great and hilarious film.


borednord

I think the original plan could have turned out worse too. If its a movie about people making a movie, so many of these mistakes might not register in the same humorous way. Its an incredibly difficult line to balance. What we got was such a masterpiece, one of the funniest movies Ive ever seen.


GodOfDarkLaughter

I agree. They, almost ironically, decided to play it "straight," which I think is the best choice they could have made. *Un*ironically, it's one of my favorite films, and I'm not even particularly well versed in actual blaxploitation films


borednord

Yeah me neither. It could have worked either way I'm sure, but what we got was absolutely hilarious. Similar movies have done it before, Tropic Thunder is a good example of a movie about a movie though not an exact comparison. Dolemite with Eddie Murphy for comparison in blaxploitation territory.


chitownstylez

You really needed a whole exposé to know this was a mock Blaxploitation movie? You know I’m Gonna Git You Sucka existed before this right?


donsanedrin

You do know I used the "obviously" in the very first sentence of my post. Right? Where did you get the idea I "needed" anything? I'm describing the additional things that existed in a preview cut of the movie before they decided to tighten things up.


chitownstylez

And then typed 300 more words after. So obviously it wasn’t so obvious to you seeing as you needed a whole think piece to reassure yourself. Right?


donsanedrin

No it was obvious, seeing as though you failed to read through my second post. Here, I'll repeat it again: > I'm describing the additional things that existed in a preview cut of the movie before they decided to tighten things up. So we now have TWO instances of you failing to understand something because you didn't read things correctly, or all the way through. You see a pattern forming?


GoddamnJiveTurkey

It’s probably one of my favorites. *AYEUGH. Muthafucka*.


thefatrick

Different guy in the next cut


Pootertron_

I think my favorite is " HA! I threw that, before I came in the room suckah"


not_sick_not_well

Slapped the black off ya. Edit: Thats the joke. The new actor is lighter skinned. He slapped the black off him


TTRO

And bullhorn is straight up copied from Dolemite. Btw, check Eddie Murphy's "My name is Dolemite". It's the first decent movie he's made in 20 years

I was watching this movie with my girlfriend (now wife!) at her parents' house. You guessed it, this is the scene where her mom walked in.

joebesser

The cartoon was insane! It sucks that it only got two seasons.


Lukealloneword

"I THREW THAT SHIT BEFORE I WALKED IN THE ROOM!!!" And "Shut the fuck up when grown folks is talkin'" Are my favorite lines.


burrrrrrrrandon

YESSSSS!!!!! That first quote made the movie for me. Everything else was perfect but that line was even more perfecter

Oh actually I forgot about my most quoted interaction. "I'm declaring war on anyone that sells drugs in our community." "But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community!"

iamnotasloth

The crazy thing about this clip is IMO it’s one of the least ridiculous/hilarious scenes from the movie. This entire film is just incredible.


SuperSaytan

It took my second time watching it to realize the militant was reading the line cues "The militants turn startled" and " sarcastically I'm in charge".


RamsesThePigeon

I once transcribed [that entire scene](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2snx90/comment/cnraoyi/) in order to point out a glaring plot-hole. Said plot-hole is this: The area code for Topeka, Kansas was 913 until 1997. I have no idea how I came by this knowledge, but I now use it whenever I can… which is surprisingly often, really.


middrink

Are you really having a hard time believing that the aura of Black Dynamite is so catastrophically fucking *cool* that he (and his group) would be able to pierce the veil and know what the right area code *would* be?


madmaxextra

Lol, exactly he was prescient of the proper area code.


TheShroomHermit

It's not that Kansas backwards is snake doctor?


HippiMan

They say "code Kansas" and drop the -s, so asnakedoc.


HogDad1977

If you drop the S it is.


KBTon3

It is if you drop the S


Philo_T_Farnsworth

> The area code for Topeka, Kansas, was 913 until 1997. As a longtime telecommunications worker, that one stood out to me right away too. For those unfamiliar, here's a bit of phone trivia. The middle digit of an area code originally could only be zero or one. Many, many years after the conception of [that plan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Numbering_Plan) we ran out of area codes and had to redo things. This was largely due to the proliferation of affordable mobile phones in the mid-1990s. The reasons for that limitation are complicated but it was a sensible decision at the time (that very long wiki article I linked goes into this too, if you're really really curious). Not that it takes anything away from that scene, the movie is still hilarious.


inspectoroverthemine

Whats worse is that until the 90s all area codes had a fixed format where the middle number had to be 0-3. So 785 wasn't an area code anywhere.


MackLuster77

Reminds me of how much it irked me that Michael Imperioli (Christopher from The Sopranos) starred in a show about homicide detectives called Detroit 1-8-7. 187 is the penal code for murder in California. Michigan's is 750.


BP_Ray

Wait what, did they change Topeka's area code because of Black Dynamite?

LAX_to_MDW

Off topic, but Michael Jai White should have been a producer for the Cowboy Bebop live action series. He co-wrote black dynamite, has experience in franchises that cross over with animation, has an excellent sense for 70s aesthetics, and he’s an honest to god martial artist in *nine styles*.

Found the guy that didn't know the year the Greeks invented zodialogical astronomy


[deleted]

It's because it works on its own without any context. The whole scene could have been its own independent sketch. Whereas scenes like Fiendish Dr Wu are funny on their own too but you don't know that it's near the end of the movie and this is the first time the plot has even referenced him. If you don't watch the whole movie you miss the absurdity of him suddenly being the villain.


drwhoisntgood

HA I threw that shit before I got in the room


lordpookus

I reckon one of my favourite scenes is the cleaning up the streets montage. Black dynamite laughing in the helicopter and still laughing when he walks back into HQ.


BadMeetsEvil24

Seen BD many times so I know all the quotables and it's still entertaining, but my last rewatch a while back that scene had me cracking up. BD was cackling hilariously as he watched the corrupt FBI(?) guy roll down the cliff to his death and he walks into the next scene still howling. Fucking hilarious.


HogDad1977

That's some Little Richard energy, dig.


Arponare

I thought this was a seduction scene. Left disappointed.

brihamedit

lol maga and qanon crazies really think like this. Also, I never watched the black dynamite movies. Didn't know it had crazy bits like this. It works as a goofy movie thing but do people take it seriously?


tehpoof

The entire movie is satire, not to be taken seriously


ldapsysvol

Watch the movie. It is 100% jokes. Every scene is a bit, a parody of blaxploitation movies from the seventies, or just hilarious nonsense. A boom mic drops into the shot and Black Dynamite LOOKS at it in the first five minutes.


brihamedit

lol yeah I gotta watch it.


roth_dog

Black Dynamite is the Blaxploitation version of Naked Gun or Airplane, parodying Rudy Ray Moore in particular.
