Funkydelic Black Dynamite




6. "Black Dynamite is a 2009 American film starring Michael Jai White, Salli Richardson, Arsenio Hall, Kevin Chapman and Tommy Davidson. It is a spoof of 1970s blaxploitation films. The film was directed by Scott Sanders and co-written by White, Sanders and Byron Minns, who also co-stars. The film, in which former CIA agent Black Dynamite must avenge his brother's death while cleaning the streets of a new drug that is ravaging the community, had a trailer and funding even before a script was written. Black Dynamite was shot in 20 days in Super 16 format. It was released in the United States on 16 October 2009 for only two weeks and was well-received by critics. It was released on home video on 16 February 2010. Adrian Younge plays all instruments and wrote the lyrics to every song on the soundtrack except "Shine," "Cleaning Up The Streets," and "Gloria." His influences on the score were Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, Ennio Morricone and Wu-Tang Clan. Morricone greatly influenced Younge from the classical European funk music, while Wu-Tang Clan helped him focus on making music they would want to sample. Sanders gave Younge almost complete leeway, but he still had to work hard to impress others working on the film. To record the score, Younge used vintage tape recording equipment and then sent it to be digitally transferred. "- Wikipedia
