Director Scott Sanders's feature film Black Dynamite is a raucous, absurdist homage to '70s blaxploitation films, starring Michael Jai White (Tyson) as shit-kicking former CIA agent Black Dynamite. After his kid brother is mysteriously murdered at the hands of a sinister drug cartel, BD's drawn out of retirement to crack skulls all the way from L.A. to D.C. But when he uncovers a twisted conspiracy involving malt liquor, genetic mutations and Little Richard, his bloodlust morphs into a higher, more hilarious calling. And Sanders lovingly captures all that gonzo action on high contrast Super 16 Color Reversal Kodak film stock, for that extra '70s feel.
