Explosive, filthy, fearless, and completely original, Dolemite is the film that turned Rudy Ray Moore into a one-man genre and lit the fuse on an entire branch of grindhouse cinema. Built from pure swagger, street poetry, and unfiltered outlaw energy, this is the movie that gave the world a hero who played by no one’s rules and talked like no one else on screen. Every frame moves with dangerous confidence, mixing kung fu chaos, street-corner myth-making, low-budget ingenuity, and unstoppable attitude into something that feels alive, illegal, and electric.

The film follows the rise of Dolemite, a larger-than-life hustler who fights his way out of a crooked prison system and launches a one-man war against corrupt cops, rival pimps, and underworld kingpins who double-crossed him. Armed with nothing but his fists, his women, and his unstoppable mouth, Dolemite storms back into the streets to reclaim his throne, waging war on everything that tried to bury him. It’s revenge cinema powered by raw charisma, handmade action, and a star who simply refuses to bend.
