I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the concept of doing a parody of Blaxploitation films. It's like making a parody of a comedy.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
There have already been a handful of these over the years: I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Pootie Tang, Undercover Brother, etc. Those were hit or miss (mostly miss, though I loved Sucka), but if it is true that Dynamite combines action, laughs and some old school T&A and recreates the look and feel of the 70s in a non-corny way, then I'm sold. It has that potential, just as Grindhouse worked for that genre.
