Jamaal W 01/14/2023 They did Willie dirty! Great film from that era with an amazing character driving it. A pretty solid story also. The scene where he struts down the stairs should be world known. See more 06/15/2020 Wow! What a bizarre flick. It seems to want to both condemn and celebrate pimping. Willie goes through quite the arc in this, starting off as the ultimate badass archetype, to becoming more humanized individual. The tone is also all over the place, sometimes it feels like they're going for real drama, at other times (especially during the pimp counsil) it feels like a cartoon. Either way I had a blast with this movie.

See more 01/19/2014 "Willie Dynamite" is the story of a pimp and his girls, a blaxploitation film that isn't too campy and doesn't glorify the criminal lifestyle that Willie leads. He is a prick, who treats his prostitutes good only when it suits him, when they step out of line or do anything independent he becomes a shit, just like a real pimp. He is a bastard who portrays himself as working for and with the girls, but is really just out for himself. So the fact that they didn't stray too far into camp territory helped this one. It isn't the best film, not even the best blaxploitation film I've seen, but it is decent. See more 01/26/2013 Willie Dynamite(Roscoe Orman) is sure having a bad time, not content on being the no.2 pimp in New York, he is striving to be no.1 and the effects it has on those around him including his families: relatives and the stables of girls he looks after. This morality tale from the height of blaxploitation is so enjoyable and has such funny moments even though it's not suppose to be funny. The cast is likable even tough we are not suppose to root for these characters. Overall, I really liked this film. See more Read all reviews
