Dolemite 2: Human Tornado ★½ The Human Tornado 1976 (R)

Nobody ever said Moore was for everybody's taste. But, hey, when blaxploitation movies were the rage, Rudy the standup comic was out there rapping through a series of trashy movies that, when viewed today, have survived the test of time. This one's just as vile, violent, and sexist as the day it was released. When Rudy is surprised in bed with a white sheriff's wife, he flees and meets up with a madam and a house of kung-fu-skilled girls who are embroiled in a fight with a local mobster. 98m/ C VHS, DVD . Rudy Ray Moore, Lady Reeds, Ernie Hudson, Howard Jackson, Herb Graham, Jerry Jones, Jimmy Lynch; D: Cliff Roquemore; W: Jerry Jones; C: Fred Conde, Bob Wilson; M: Arthur Wright.
