How does “Black Dynamite” compare to the other spoof comedy films out there?
Scott Sanders: I think a lot of spoof movies satirize what’s going on in the news right now and what we wanted to do was just make a movie that was very close to a blaxploitation movie, but only 10% too much so. If you look at our poster, Black Dynamite has a gun, but he also has nunchucks in his hand. The nunchucks are the extra 10%, so it’s like, “Why do you have nunchucks when you already have a gun?” We wanted the satire to be fairly close to the originals and not go wildly outside the genre. Michael Jai White: Those films are usually broken up into small little sketches, while our film is one whole piece. The other films are often describes as nothing but a bunch of fart jokes while Black Dynamite” seems to have more substance to it. Scott Sanders: Yeah, there was so much stuff we could make fun of and play with in the genre of blaxploitation. We didn’t have to go and make Britney Spears jokes or whatever. Scott, earlier in your career you wrote for live television with “Roc Live”
