Black Dynamite ([[Michael Jai White]]) uses a [[Smith & Wesson Model 629]] Classic as his primary weapon. The 629 is chambered in .44 Magnum, is the stainless steel version of the S&W Model 29, and was introduced in 1978. The 629 Classic has a full-length underlug, which differentiates it from the standard 629. Black Dynamite fires it one handed regularly, showing pretty much no recoil or flinching, which is fitting to his badass persona. (The real reason for this is the fact that almost all the muzzle flashes were added in post production.) | Black Dynamite ([[Michael Jai White]]) uses a [[Smith & Wesson Model 629]] Classic as his primary weapon.

Revision as of 15:56, 19 October 2011
Black Dynamite is a 2009 spoof/homage/pastiche of the blaxploitation films of the 1970's directed by Scott Sanders and written by Sanders, lead actor Michael Jai White, and co-star Bryan Minns. The film stars Michael Jai White and Salli Richardson, and co-stars Mykelti Williamson, Tommy Davidson and Phil Morris, with appearances by notable names like Arsenio Hall, Tucker Smallwood, Bokeem Woodbine and John Salley. The film was very low budget, for both practical reasons and as part of a tribute to classic blaxploitation movies which were also very low budget. While other "retro" productions might have reproduced the look of a 1970's film digitally, the producers of Black Dynamite chose to use 16mm film and sound equipment from the era instead. The movie is filled with stock footage from the area, and many errors are either left in (a henchmen forgetting to put a car into park before getting out) or deliberately written into the script (an actor reading out stage instructions.) The film had a very limited release in 2009, followed by a release on both DVD and Blu-Ray.
What most people miss is the fact that many of the actors aren't just playing the characters in the movie, they're playing actors who are playing characters in the movie. For example, Michael Jai White stars as "All-Star running back Ferrante Jones" who plays Black Dynamite, which is a tribute to popular blaxploitation star such as Jim Brown and Fred "the Hammer" Williamson, who started their careers on the grid-iron.
The following firearms were seen in the film Black Dynamite:
Hanguns
Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic
Black Dynamite (Michael Jai White) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic as his primary weapon. The 629 is chambered in .44 Magnum, is the stainless steel version of the S&W Model 29, and was introduced in 1978. The 629 Classic has a full-length underlug, which differentiates it from the standard 629. Black Dynamite fires it one handed regularly, showing pretty much no recoil or flinching, which is fitting to his badass persona. (The real reason for this is the fact that almost all the muzzle flashes were added in post production.)
Dan Wesson Large Frame .44 Magnum
Black Dynamite also uses a stainless Dan Wesson Large Frame revolver, again in .44 Magnum.
Colt Detective Special
A Colt Detective Special is O'Leary's (Kevin Chapman) weapon of choice. The model in the film appears to be a 3rd Gen. Bullhorn (Byron Minns) later uses one to put one of his own out of his misery.
Colt 1911A1 Series 70
One of Chicago Wind's (Mykelti Williamson) thugs holds a Colt 1911A1 Series 70 on Black Dynamite in the Hip Pocket, before it is "kicked" out of his hand by Bullhorn. Also seen in the hands of one of O'Leary's partners while infiltrating Black Dynamite's home. Black Dynamite likely uses the same prop later on in the montage.
Smith & Wesson Model 60
First Lady Pat Nixon (Nicole Sullivan) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 60 to stop Black Dynamite from destroying the presidential china.
Philadelphia Derringer
Richard Nixon (James McManus) tries to use the Philadelphia Derringer used by John Wilkes Booth to kill President Lincoln (which is not only in the White House, but also loaded) on Black Dynamite after their nunchuck fight. He is foiled by the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. (Yes, that's what actually happened in the movie.)
Submachine Guns
M1928 Submachine Gun
While Don Rafelli (Mike Starr) is on the phone, a henchman with a Thompson M1928 gun can be seen in the background.
Madsen M50
Most of Rafelli's thugs use Madsen M50s as their primary automatic weapon. Donut Man (Lee Whittaker) is seen with a Madsen M50 after Black Dynamite shoots him.
M3 Grease Gun
Cream Corn (Tommy Davidson) uses an M3 Grease Gun.
Smith & Wesson M76
One of Rafelli's goons uses a Smith & Wesson M76.
Shotguns
Winchester 1300
Bullhorn (Byron Minns) uses a Winchester 1300 during the assault on Kung-Fu Island. He never fires it, although a notable use of the weapon is Bullhorn racking the pump, accidentally interrupting a quip from Black Dynamite.
Rifles/Carbines
M16/SP1 & M203
A Black Panther is seen training himself to load the M16 quickly in the Panthers' compound. Militant #2 (Darrel Heath) also carries one with an M203 on Kung-Fu Island.
M14
During the assault on Kung-Fu Island, Saheed (Phil Morris) carries an M14, though he is never seen firing it. It is probably the same M14 from the militant's headquarters.
M1 Carbine (including Iver Johnson Enforcer)
One of Black Dynamite's guys uses an M1 Carbine. Bullhorn (Byron Minns) also uses an Iver Johnson Enforcer.
Heavy Weapons
M60 machine gun
An M60 machine gun is seen in Black Dynamite's (Stock footage-filled) flashback to his days in the Vietnam War.
M72 LAW
The Secret Service uses an M72 LAW to shoot down Black Dynamite's helicopter and to destroy his parachute. As with most of the other muzzle flashes in the movie, the rocket and smoke appear to be effects added in post-production.
