Curiozități

Dolemite is a 1975 American blaxploitation crime comedy film and is also the name of its principal character, played by Rudy Ray Moore, who co-wrote the film and its soundtrack. Moore, who started his career as a stand-up comedian in the late 1960s, heard a rhymed toast about an urban hero named Dolemite from a regular at the record store where he worked, and decided to adopt the persona as an alter ego in his act.

Production

Moore first developed the character of Dolemite in his stand-up comedy routines, and the character later appeared on Moore's 1970 debut album, Eat Out More Often, which reached the top 25 on the Billboard 200. He released several more comedy albums using this persona.

Production started in January, 1974, and continued for over a year - starting and stopping - as funding would allow. Filming of interiors was primarily done at the then-closed Dunbar Hotel in Los Angeles, with additional exterior scenes being filmed in the Baldwin Hills area and University Park.
