Not Red ...

The Human Tornado.

This is a sequel to Dolomite – starring Rudy Ray Moore – “You grew up on it!” (Kid’s father says in House Party – that’s a wicked movie too).

I never saw Dolomite but I had heard of it. RRM plays Dolomite and he is sort of a spoof of blaxploitation stars – but he’s actually really funny. I had a feeling there would be some comedy in this, but I didn’t know how much.

Dolomite jumps off a hill and the picture freezes and his voice over comes on saying something like “So you don’t believe I jumped – watch this bitches.” Then the scene rewinds and repeats in slow motion. Hahahaha – I was dying over that.

The plot: Dolomite is finishing up a comedy tour - jokes like “The bathtub told the toilet – ‘I get just as much ass as you do, but I don’t have to put up with all that shit.’” If you think this is hilarious, then you’ll love this movie. Anyway, he returns to his huge house and decides to give up his house to the man who was responsible for putting up a boys home – suddenly this white girl arrives – who is paying Dolomite for sex, who also happens to be the wife of the local hick-racists sheriff – who coincidentally shows up to Dolomites house because there are too many N-word hanging around. Whew, so the sheriff kills his wife (actually he has his deputy do it) Dolomite escapes with his buds (including Ernie Hudson!) and they make their way to California via kidnapping a gay white guy and stealing his car – which the white guy doesn’t mind and actually enjoys.

Then they find that their friend – a girl who is running a nightclub – is in trouble. She is being threatened by a white gangster guy with a nymphomaniac wife, who captures girls and takes them to an old lady’s basement where they are tortured. Dolomite has to rescue them and get the nightclub back.

That is the plot of this crazy movie! I don’t really need to say much more except that Dolomite himself is so funny, he carries this crazy ass movie on his shoulders. If you like spoofy, crazy, so bad it’s good, movies, then you must get this.

PS I have no idea why this is called The Human Tornado.

3.5/5

J-Man.
