Rudy Ray Moore is Dolemite. When those five words came across movie screens back in 1975 it made history. Film history, black history, everyones history! Dolemite was a seminal film in the blaxploitation genre because it was one of the first films in the genre to actually be created by African-Americans. Before Moore cast himself as Dolemite he was already famous for his outrageous comedy and singing albums. Since Dolemites release Moore has put out a number of Dolemite sequels and been involved...
I remember the first time I saw him live. When he first came out, he looked like and old man. He could barely make it up to the stage and it broke my heart. But once he got up there, he did a jump kick and some voodoo magic with his hands and I was elated.
Rudy:
Ive got one coming soon. Its called The Dolemite Explosion. I am in Africa at this time and I have two sons that want to see America. I have to come here to help my sister with these gangbangers that are bothering her. So I give my boys a trip here and they help me take care of them.
I read this about four times before I realized he was talking about the movie.
Uh , I've seen Rudy Ray "acting" like he knows martial arts . Believe me , he doesn't look like he knows what he's doing . He is pretty entertaining though .
