Dolemite Is My Name (2019)

Dolemite Is My Name (2019)
Director: Craig Brewer
== Plot Synopsis ==
Eddie Murphy portrays real-life legend Rudy Ray Moore, a comedy and rap pioneer who proved naysayers wrong when his hilarious, obscene, kung-fu fighting alter ego, Dolemite, became a 1970s Blaxploitation phenomenon. It’s worth noting that all but one of the people portrayed in this film are deceased as of the current year 2024, considering the time period that the film takes place in (early 1970s) and the fact that they were already middle-aged. The sole survivor is Nicholas von Sternberg, a prominent cinematographer in the film industry, who was only in his 20s at the time.
