The trailer had me in hysterics (puzzling my mate, who has very little background in '70s trashsploitation - I had to play Cliff's Notes for her during <i>Kill Bill</i> and <i>Grindhouse</i>), and yes - on your say-so, I'll support <i>Black Dynamite</i> during its theatrical run. <br /><br />On the great genre parody film list, I'd add <i>Kung Fu Hustle, Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Team America: World Police, Sukiyaki Western Django</i> and <i>Grindhouse</i> to that list. I know they occupy that weird zone between hommage, satire and ball-out example of the genre in question, but I loved all six of them (well, maybe five out of six - <i>Sukiyaki</i> dragged in too many places for me to truly adore the film, although I found it a hoot verging occasionally on the sublime). Stretching the definition of "parody" a little further, I'd also add <i>Lair of the White Worm, Wild Things, Roadhouse, Evil Dead 2, Return of the Living Dead, Commando</i> and <i>From Dusk Till Dawn</i>. Hell, I'm still waiting on <i>Machete</i>. If Robert Rodriguez actually makes <i>THAT</i> film, I'll stand in line to see the fucker! <br /><br />Thanks again, Bunche!Satyrbladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015786983800102480noreply@blogger.com
