This is the story of 1970s African-American action legend Black Dynamite. The Man killed his brother, pumped heroin into local orphanages, and flooded the ghetto with adulterated malt liquor. Black Dynamite was the one hero willing to fight The Man all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House..

The prosthetic penis worn by Gunsmoke (Buddy Lewis) was actually a flesh colored baby pacifier.
------------------------

The Anaconda Malt Liquor gag was inspired by the myth about Church's Chicken putting poison in their food to try to kill black people.
------------------------

The phrase that Black Dynamite (Michael Jai White) repeats hearing from a dying child is not Chinese, but actually Vietnamese for "You are full of shit."
------------------------

The opening scene which features an African-American actor using an effected quasi-English accent and precise diction while delivering his lines is a play on several well known actors who are featured in blaxploitation yet got their roots in William Shakespeare performances. William Marshall, star of Blacula (1972), starred in eight different productions of Othello before playing Mamuwalde/Blacula in 1972.
------------------------

Michael Jai White has stated he was not just playing Black Dynamite, but also the actor playing Black Dynamite. The actor, Ferrante Jones, was a running back for the Baltimore Colts whose career ended due to a broken neck. If you pay attention you'll notice that Black Dynamite has a hard time turning his neck to one side. This is because of Jones' neck injury.
------------------------

The boom microphone is visible several times on the top of the frame. Usually, if a boom mike is visible in a finished movie, it is either because of a mistake made by the filmmakers during shooting or (much more frequently) a mistake made by the projectionist at the movie theater. But in the case of this movie, the mike being visible is a joke meant to parody the lack of film production expertise on the sets of the original "blaxploitation" movies that this movie is referencing.
------------------------

Michael Jai White first had the idea for the movie while filming Undisputed II: Last Man Standing (2006) in Bulgaria. James Brown's Superbad was playing on his iPod and the "blaxpoitation" film idea came to him. He first wanted to call the film Superbad (2007), but that title had already been taken so he came up with "Black Dynamite".
------------------------

The sex scene that introduces us to Black Dynamite at the beginning of the film features visual references to two Dolemite films starring Rudy Ray Moore.  The alternating of POV and over the shoulder shots are the same techniques used for sex scenes in both Dolemite (1975) and The Human Tornado (1976).
------------------------

James McManus (Richard Nixon) practiced using the nunchuks six hours a day to prepare for his role.
------------------------

Roscoe's fictitious "Chili and Donuts" is a play on the real-life "Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles".
------------------------

Several female adult film stars made their mainstream/feature film debut in this movie and have various small speaking roles, including Charlotte Stokely, Erika Vution, Stacy Adams (who plays Nurse Jenny in the mock-porno doctor's office scene), Charmane Star, and Justine Joli.
------------------------

Phil Morris and Nicole Sullivan provided voices in the animated series The Secret Saturdays (2008).
------------------------

Although most goofs are intentional, the movie's time period predates some of the weapons and helicopters shown.
------------------------

The area code for Topeka, Kansas didn't become 785 until 1996.
------------------------

The "ribbed" look of Dynamite's car top.
------------------------

The boom microphone is visible several times on the top of the frame. Yet in the case of this movie, the mic being visible is a joke meant to parody the lack of film production expertise on the sets of the original "blaxploitation" movies that this movie is referencing.
------------------------

In the diner scene, on the blackboard with the day's specials, scrambled is misspelled as "scrambed" and specials is written as "special's".
------------------------

When Black Dynamite is shot in the shoulder and goes to the hospital, the doctor clearly says, "No fragments, in and out - you're very lucky, BD," indicating that the bullet went right through Black Dynamite. However he is only bandaged at the entry point of the bullet and there is no exit wound on his back.
------------------------

In the diner, Black Dynamite writes "M&Ms" on the black board, but later on the second "M" looks more like a squiggle and there is no "s" at the end.
------------------------

In another nod to blaxploitation films, when Black Dynamite enters Jimmy's apartment finding it ransacked and is attacked by the Heavy Hitters; Black Dynamite fires eighteen shots from a six shot revolver.
------------------------

In the animated closing credits, Bokeem Woodbine's character name is listed as Black Hand Jack. The character is actually Back Hand Jack.
------------------------

When the hitters ambush Black Dynamite at Roscoe's, the driver fails to engage the parking brake on the car. This is one of the few gaffes in the film that wasn't intentional.
------------------------

When Cream Corn runs away from Black Dynamite from the barbershop, his boots turn from high heeled to flat bottomed, back to high heeled again. This is a parody of poorly edited blaxploitation films.
------------------------

When Black Dynamite is talking to Honey Bee, a tear running down Honey Bee's face disappears and reappears from shot to shot. This is deliberately mocking the lack of continuity shown by many of the movies that this film parodies.
