Eddie put Red Foxx, Richard Pryor and Robin Harris in Harlem Nights. Can't ask him for more than that. Who else put more legends in position when they was on top?
Chris Tucker didn't do it, Kevin Hart didn't do it, Chris Rock didn't do it.

When Eddie was on top he put on legends and put new guys like Martin and Chris Rock in positions to blow up.



hold up Chris rock put a lot of nikkas on fukk outta here

in that movie he directed he had a lot of comedians in that movie


Keven hart had black husbands of Hollywood


Martin put Tracy Morgan in

Just watched this, I don't much of the legend Dolemite so I'm gonna be sure to look up some stuff. Loved the movie. Also was really happy to see Wesley Snipes, has breh been blackballed or something, can't remember the last movie I saw him in and don't really follow Hollywood news like that. Anyways was happy to see him here and he damn near stole the show.

Wait what is old dude talking bout? Go to 2:50 of this. So Eddie was tryna to get Rudy a movie when he was alive?
According to them...they tried years ago, but Hollywood said no because Eddie some flops. Plus Rudy movie was seen over the top to them years ago. Regrouped years later and pitched it to Netflix.

Just seen it. Eddie did his thing :wow:

Wesley's character was :pachaha:

When she dropped that robe:whoo: Had to do a triple take.

I saw the original Dolemite years back after seeing it mentioned during House Party. It made me appreciate it even more seeing how they reenacted the scenes . Felt like it was a behind the scenes tied with the story of the film being made itself .

Touched all the bases :obama:

Wesley for the MVP!:salute:

The female he did the photoshoot with was bad as fukk, with extra cake! :ohlawd:

Shyt was inspirational. As a kid I thought Dolomite flicks was par for the course as far as blaxsploitation era is concerned.:ohhh:

Eddie should have re-enacted the scene where Dolomite escaped butt nekkid rolling down that hill! :russ:

No Whammies!!
Watching this makes me want to watch Black Dynamite
I never saw Dolemite, and I knew that the character "Bullhorn" was based on Dolemite, but I was surprised at how much of Black Dynamite was based on this. I thought that Black Dynamite was mainly based on Jim Kelly. Didn't realize that stuff like Honey Bee and the "kung-fu bytches" were references to Dolemite.

I also think it's pretty funny that nobody mentions that Rudy just outright STOLE his whole act, including his name, from the bum in the record store.
