“The Human Tornado (1976) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e*** (out of 4) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eComedian Dolemite (Rudy Ray Moore) has to defend his black people when a racist white sheriff starts trouble. Soon Dolemite and his clan are on the run and going after a white gangster who is taking black women are selling them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis sequel to DOLEMITE is actually a better movie. Well, let me put that another way. The first film was a fun and somewhat well-made movie that became a box office hit so a sequel had to follow. This sequel is incredibly silly from the opening credit sequence to the final moment and everything in between is just rather nutty and over-the-top. Thereu0026#39;s not a single second where anything youu0026#39;re watching should be taken serious and as long as youu0026#39;re in for a good time then youu0026#39;re bound to have one here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo me THE HUMAN TORNADO is just one of those films where the director, writer and producers just throw everything on the screen and hope that something sticks. The great thing for fans is that quite a bit sticks here and the end result is a campy but fun action picture. I mean, just check out the opening sequences, which catches Dolemite doing a stand up routine where he throws countless jokes at the crowd ala Don Rickles. From here weu0026#39;re treated to non-stop big-breasted women, crazy kung fu fights and one of the craziest sex scenes that youu0026#39;re ever going to witness.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRudy Ray Moore was certainly a personality and that leaps off the screen here. Iu0026#39;m not going to call him a brilliant actor but thereu0026#39;s no question that the camera loved him and his spirit just makes it impossible to take your eyes off of him. The supporting cast of players are fun but special mentions needs to go to J.B. Baron who plays the redneck sheriff. Youu0026#39;ve even got a young Ernie Hudson playing a small role.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTHE HUMAN TORNADO is a wild little gem that fans of blaxploitation should enjoy.”
