DVD: Black Dynamite, For rental & retail (Icon)

Streets ahead of Meet the Spartans, and the other dreadful efforts that pass for film parody these days, this beautifully realised blaxploitation homage gets every detail spot-on, and yet it's studded with so many perfectly timed jokes that you don't need to have seen a single blaxploitation film to fall about laughing.

The question is, why wasn't its kung-fu-kicking writer-star, Michael Jai White, cast as BA Baracus in the recent A-Team movie?
