Borrowing from the street mythology of 1970s Los Angeles, Moore assumes the persona of Dolemite, a pimp with a cane and an arsenal of obscene fables. However, his ambitions exceed selling bootleg records deemed too racy for mainstream radio stations to play. Moore convinces a social justice-minded dramatist to write his alter ego a film, incorporating kung fu, car chases, and Lady Reed, an ex-backup singer who becomes his unexpected comedic foil.Director:Craig BrewerWriters:screenplay by Scott Alexander, Larry KaraszewskiCast:Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore / DolemiteKeegan-Michael Key as Jerry JonesMike Epps as Jimmy LynchCraig Robinson as Ben TaylorTituss Burgess as Theodore ToneyDa'Vine Joy Randolph as Lady ReedWesley Snipes as D'Urville MartinAleksandar Filimonović as Joseph BihariChris Rock as Daddy FattsLuenell as AuntGerald Downey as Bob BrooksKodi Smit-McPhee as NickRotten Tomatoes: 98%Metacritic: 76/100After Credits Scene?
