Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Michael_Elliott The Human Tornado (1976) *** (out of 4) Comedian Dolemite (Rudy Ray Moore) has to defend his black people when a racist white sheriff starts trouble. Soon Dolemite and his clan are on the run and going after a white gangster who is taking black women are selling them.This sequel to DOLEMITE is actually a better movie. Well, let me put that another way. The first film was a fun and somewhat well-made movie that became a box office hit so a sequel had to follow. This sequel is incredibly silly from the opening credit sequence to the final moment and everything in between is just rather nutty and over-the-top. There's not a single second where anything you're watching should be taken serious and as long as you're in for a good time then you're bound to have one here.To me THE HUMAN TORNADO is just one of those films where the director, writer and producers just throw everything on the screen and hope that something sticks. The great thing for fans is that quite a bit sticks here and the end result is a campy but fun action picture. I mean, just check out the opening sequences, which catches Dolemite doing a stand up routine where he throws countless jokes at the crowd ala Don Rickles. From here we're treated to non-stop big-breasted women, crazy kung fu fights and one of the craziest sex scenes that you're ever going to witness.Rudy Ray Moore was certainly a personality and that leaps off the screen here. I'm not going to call him a brilliant actor but there's no question that the camera loved him and his spirit just makes it impossible to take your eyes off of him. The supporting cast of players are fun but special mentions needs to go to J.B. Baron who plays the redneck sheriff. You've even got a young Ernie Hudson playing a small role.THE HUMAN TORNADO is a wild little gem that fans of blaxploitation should enjoy.

diegonegro1 Not only is this a great African-American classic comedy, but one of many great American cult classics.I have recently purchased the collection edition of Rudy Ray Moore.If you love the old school karate movies and black comedies, this is for you! They don't make movies like these anymore. My entire family are movie buffs, so this site is an extreme help on solving many debates. I am deployed in Iraq right now. This helps me to stay connected to world that I know in the states. Thank you IMDb.I recommend this site to all my friends. Dolemite rules! Don't just take my word for it, check them out for yourself. Ten lines is a lot for commenting on one movie I think, but if it gets the point across, I'm all for it!

arschrock Here we have another movie by the (depending on your opinion) genius or deleriously incompetent tour de force who is Rudy Ray Moore, more well-known for his unsubtly titled riebald "party records" such as "Eat out more often" and "The Cockpit".Here, Rudy Ray Moore goes well beyond the call of duty as he ineffectively attempts to weave a plot based around the loss of Queen Bee's nightclub. But forget plot, did you _really_ rent this expecting something cerebral? It's full of everything you want in a movie.The first 10 minutes of this movie is sheer genius. Absurd "special effects", uproarously bad dialogue, Moore's trademark "kung-fu", and carnivalesque blacksploitation stereotypes set the tone. Yet, the entire film, as far as pure camp goes, is a comedic goldmine as well. In true style, Moore is actually serious about his movies, despite the overacting, bad special effects, and a confusing script. All of this leads to some jaw-droppingly ridiculous scenes which are cliche as they are hilarious.If I have to voice one complaint, it would be: Why is it that Rudy insists on inserting these prolonged spoken word pieces in every one of his movies? This is the only place in the movie where I was tempted to reach for my remote... We can only assume that the reason why he is torturing us is that he was attempting to extend his street cred (he often claims to have invented rap, as well as raucous comedy LPs, among other things)."The Human Tornado" emerges as a much better film somehow than "Monkey Hustle" (which, dissapointingly, featured no monkies) and the almost incomprehensible "Petey Wheatstraw". Personally I like it much better than even the original Dolomite, although at times "Avenging Disco Godfather" does give it a run for its money for raw psychedalic effects (the ending sequence of his aunt looking like she's straight out of an evil dead movie). Features a young Ernie Hudson, however no other big names such as antonio fargas or pam grier pop up.Essentially, Rudy Ray Moore thinks he's all that. You'll either agree, or be so amazed that he exists that you can't stop laughing. Or both.

Frick As a lover of bad movies, I definitely hit paydirt with this one. The plot isn't really that bad, but there are a few instances where you really have to ask yourself "what the heck is going on here?" There are many many things that make this the funniest bad movie ever. First off, Rudy Ray Moore had gotten so fat and slow when this movie was filmed that the special effects consist of speeding up the fight scenes to double time. There are also scenes where there is a slow-motion instant replay, jumping onto a ten foot high wall (by playing falling off of it backwards), naked men walking out of huge letters, and sex that literally brings down the roof (with the cable holding up the roof catching on fire). Of course, no Rudy Ray Moore movie would be complete without a completely gratuitous and random comedy club scene where Rudy makes fun of all the customers, interposed with people doing some odd dance. There are so many things bad about this movie, but they're bad in an entertaining way, and if you take your eyes off the movie, you might miss another mistake.Rating: 1/10 for actual value, 10/10 for cheese factor, 10/10 for picking out mistakes and goofs, averages out to 7/10.
