The Original, Uncut Motion Picture.
Rudy Ray Moore stars as the famous nightclub entertainer Dolemite, sent to prison on a frame-up by some crooked cops and his arch rival, the notorious Willy Green. Dolemite is offered an early release from prison on the condition that he help the FBI bring down Green and his henchmen, who are terrorizing the city.
Meanwhile, Queen Bee has transformed Dolemite's beautiful street girls into an All-Girl Army of Kung Fu killers. Joining Dolemite, they take on the mob in one of the greatest martial arts rumbles ever filmed. Dolemite is the epitome of the "blaxploitation" genre, and the film that defined the cultural icon" the mack". You can find evidence of Dolemite's influence in the work of contemporary directors such as the Hudlin Brothers and Quentin Tarantino, and of rappers Ice Cube and Easy-E.
