That was an excellent one.

... View MoreAnother blaxploitation home run from Rudy Ray Moore, star of Petey Wheatstraw and the Dolemite films. Cheap, amateurish, often unintentionally hilarious film about one man's crusade to rid of the streets of "the whack" -- aka angel dust or PCP -- after his nephew Bucky freaks out on the drug. If you've seen a Rudy Ray Moore film before, you know what kind of craziness to expect. If you haven't, you're in for a treat.First, take whatever you know about movies and throw it out the window. There is no professional filmmaking going on here. It's all crudely staged, badly acted, and poorly written. Well, assuming it's actually written at all. I get the feeling with Moore's films a large amount of the dialogue is made up on the spot. Now this sounds fairly terrible and on an artistic and technical level it is. But you don't watch these movies because they're actually good films. You watch them because they are so bad they're funny.The action scenes are a farce. Grown men pretending to use kung-fu on one another, emulating what they saw in Bruce Lee movies. Hands and feet supposedly striking but not coming within a foot of their target. There's a hilariously bad sex scene between Moore and a woman that should come as a surprise to no one, given Moore's somewhat effeminate mannerisms.One of my favorite scenes is where the frustrated doctor cries out to God: "Where are you Mister? Are you with us or just in our minds?" Who would have thought you would find religious metaphysics in a movie called Disco Godfather? But the highlights of the movie for most people would be the PCP hallucination scenes, as well as just about any line Moore delivers in his trademark amateur style. If you enjoy blaxploitation films or if you enjoy poorly made films that are good for unintended laughs, then give Disco Godfather a shot. While you're at it, try out some of Moore's other movies. Especially Petey Wheatsraw, the Devil's Son-in-Law.
... View MoreIt's very hard to review the films of Rudy Ray Moore. They are horrible in so many ways yet apparently some people think that is intentional. All I know is that this film is like the last movie I saw of Moore's--completely unprofessional and looking more like a home movie than a real film. The acting (especially by Moore) is often terrible as many of the 'actors' have trouble reciting their lines, the plot is VERY thin (as most of the time the film just consists of folks disco dancing) and the production values are from the Ed Wood Jr. school of film making.Rudy Ray Moore stars as Tucker Williams, a.k.a. 'The Disco Godfather'. He mostly hangs around the disco but is called to action in response to an outbreak of PCP in the ghetto. The scenes at the mental hospital of all the angel dust victims is unintentionally hilarious but it stirs Tucker to act. However, nothing really occurs for a long time after this meeting--you mostly see folks disco dancing the night away! Later, the plot, such as it is, slowly is revealed and Tucker uses his 'Disco Squad' to thwart evil. Tucker is one bad mo', as he uses his kung fu skills* to stop the baddies.I actually happen to like blacksploitation films and have probably reviewed more than just about anyone. Quality-wise, Moore's films are in a class by themselves--they are THAT bad. Good for a laugh but too slow to make them must-sees for bad movie buffs.*The kung fu, like in Moore's first film "Dolomite". The blows don't even come close to landing and it looks like a middle aged guy trying to fake martial arts skills--which is exactly what is happening. It's sad...and funny.
... View MoreThe really amazing thing about this movie is that almost everybody in it ended up having a career. In real films and television shows that you've actually heard of. Seriously, follow the links. I guess that you have to start somewhere. The good news is that there are lots of hot, hairy-chested, black guys in skin tight, low cut outfits. The bad news is that Rudy Ray Moore isn't one of them. He's a bit of a middle-aged blob, and he probably should have kept his man-boobs covered instead of jiggling them in my face. There, I said it. The other amazing thing is that, when the credits roll, there about three actors and about 300 dancers - disco dancers, disco skaters, featured disco dancers, featured disco skaters. Really. Which probably explains why the reporters at the press conference looked suspiciously like the featured disco dancers. Anyway, I think the moral of the story is that you're supposed to smoke angel dust before you watch the movie.
... View Morethis is hands down the funniest rudy ray moore movie! the only draw back is the sound quality, which i had hoped would be improved with the dvd release but is not-i thought my t.v. was broke when i first saw it! this movie has the best(worst) lines, best(worst) fight choreography, and the best(you know) plot. i forgot to say the best acting, but you can only imagine. the story is funny in a way no story about drug addiction could ever be. the scenes at the hospital with the people freaked out on angel dust are great, (SPOILER) especially the girl cooking her baby thinking it's the x-mas ham! priceless. i still pull this one out from time to time and laugh my ass off! i have got to say that the disco g.f.'s fighting is also one of the greatest things ever put on film. buy this one, it's cheap, and watch it a thousand times.
