Curiosidades
In a 2023 interview with Polygon, Michael Jai White addressed one of the running jokes of the movie, regarding the casting: "Well, it's about authenticity, isn't it? So being authentic to '70s moviemaking is, 'Well, how did they cast Native Americans?' This is a parody, making a joke of things, and making statements. If you notice that there might be someone who may not be Native American playing a Native American role, [it's] authentic to that time period. But we had plenty of real Native Americans in the movie, even during the same shot, who might be staring daggers at this Anglo playing Native American. [laughs] Because if I cast a Native American in that role, it would be inauthentic."

Pifias
The quote the Reverend Percy claims is John 2:11 bears no resemblance to John 2:11. This is probably, intentional, however, since he is apparently not a bona fide pastor.

Citas
Bessie Lee: [Seeing shirtless Johnny] Holy-lujah! Umm... I brought you something for you to put in your mouth this morning. Everybody loves my hot buns. So I thought I'd come over here and give you some. Figured it's been a long time since you had any... I uh, I covered them up, to keep them hot, steamy, firm, moist. Just the way a man likes. I've also got warm honey and warm cream, you can pour on, lick off, drench and splatter all over everything. If you like. Believe me, I don't mind...
Outlaw Johnny Black: [Getting on his knees] I hope you don't mind, I just feel obliged to bless the food, something's just come over me.
Bessie Lee: Ooh. Just come over me too. Let me set these buns down and I'll get right down on my knees...
Outlaw Johnny Black: No no no Bessie, you just stay on up, and you just go on and start without me.
Bessie Lee: You don't know my appetite. I'll have that whole thing down my throat, cream and all before you can even...
Outlaw Johnny Black: Bessie Bessie Bessie, could you just start without me and, and stop talking?

Would had been better 40/45 minutes shorter

I remember well when Michael Jai White announced this movie trough crowd funding a few years ago. I must be one of the only guys who never saw Black Dynamite, likely because its not a style i usually have a lot of interest in, but peoples always praise it so at one point ill watch it. Personally im a fan of MJW because of movies like Blood and Bone, Never Back Down and Triple Threat. After Scott Adkins he is likely the best "martial arts actor" in the direct to VOD format, even if he branch a bit more than Scott in term of style. But i digress. I didn't "backed" Outlaw Johnny Black because Westerns never been much of my things even tough i did enjoy Young Guns and a few others in the past, and i didn't expected this to contain martial arts. But the trailer wich i watch recently told me otherwise !

I realize yesterday the movie was on Prime Video, so i had no reason to not give it a shot. Overall i can say i "enjoyed" the movie but i had a fair share of issues with it and thats what im gonna talk about in this review.

First of all the runtime is way too long. The movie would had benefited to be 40 minutes shorter at the very least. There is definately scenes that could had been trimmed, some even removed. The second problem is there is surprisingly little action. Altough there is indeed some martial arts as the trailer suggest, it only happen a few times and you see the most of it in said trailer. I know you gonna tell me "but dude its a western"... And yes it is, but even the gun action was lacking and only happened very sporadically.

What "saved" the movie for me was the humor and jokes. Some of them landed pretty well, and MJW line deliveries and facial expressions at times were pretty hillarious. Supporting cast also had some good scenes and lines. But when the movie tried to get back to the "plot" i wasn't much interested. Its your basic run of the mill plot and the movie try to branch in too many directions with too many different vilains ultmately not giving enough screentime to neither.

When it comes to the Natives in the movie, i know this was done on purpose for the satyre/humor but it just came out weird on screen that they all of various races and portrait in a very spoof kind of way. Even Adam Sandler's The Ridiculous Six Natives look more serious... This is probably the comical aspect that landed the least for me. Thanksfully its not a huge part of it.

MJW also directed the movie and honestly in term of direction, cinematography, music and such, everything was competent and fine, while nothing stand out too much either. I would say for a first movie to direct, he did a fine job.

Ultimately i enjoyed enough of the movie to put it in the "liked" categories and give it a 6 out of 10. But its not one ill watch again or add to my physical collection.
