Rudy Ray Moore: Movie Guide
built 267 days ago
In this slapstick blaxploitation feature, Petey Wheatstraw (Rudy Ray Moore, aka "Mr. Dolomite") is a candidate to become the devil's son-in-law. The storyline is a scaffolding on which Rudy Ray Moore's standup humor can be unfolded. Beginning life as the afterbirth to a watermelon, the young Wheatstraw becomes a martial artist, but is unable to best the evil comedy team of Leroy and Skillet, who ... indulge in wholesale murder. Satan restores the comedians' victims to life, and charges Petey with the task of marrying his clock-stoppingly ugly daughter to giving him a grandchild. When Petey attempts to default on the deal, he is pursued by the devil's henchmen. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Disco Godfather could very well qualify Rudy Ray Moore as the Ed Wood of the 1970s. It is a movie so bad - badly filmed, badly acted, and badly edited - that it reaches a Platonic ideal of badness, which of course turns the film into some kind of twisted masterpiece of cheese cinema.

The excerpts of Moore's films seen in the documentary should make instant fans out of viewers. If India's Bollywood rates credit for being a masala of action, music and comedy, Moore and his regular director, Cliff Roquemore, similarly deserve some kind of nod for their everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to moviemaking.
