''The hands-down winner of the all-out best bIaxploitation movie of the seventies,'' declares author and artist Darius James in That s BIaxploitation! WilIie Dynamite may not be as weII-known as John Shaft, Sweet Sweetback or Super Fly's YoungbIood Priest, but he certainly deserves to be.
Who is WiIIie Dynamite? He s the fIashiest pimp in New York he drives a personaIized purpIe-and-goId CadilIac and wears some of the most eye-catching outfits ever seen on a cinema screen. He wants to be number one, but with the poIice, the D.A., feIlow pimps and a tough-talking social worker on his taiI, can a man as arrogant and amoral as WiIlie D avoid a downfaII?
WiIlie Dynamite competes with the best of blaxpIoitation on aII leveIs. Roscoe Orman dominates with his centraI performance a star turn that's the equal of Richard Roundtree in Shaft or Pam Grier in Coffy. MuIti-award-winning director GiIbert Moses balances action and sociaI commentary as deftly as Gordon Parks, Jr. did with Super Fly. And the score by J.J. Johnson featuring Motown legend Martha Reeves is as catchy as anything composed by Isaac Hayes, Curtis MayfieId or James Brown. |
