Dolemite remains the Citizen Kane of kung fu pimping movies. [26 May 2002, p.1]

Film Threat
Even with its amateurish presentation and off-kilter action, Dolemite is far more fun than a good many of the high-stakes, high-budget films that the big studios roll out every month or so. Personality goes a long way.

This plays out like more light-hearted and less competently made version of flicks like "Coffy" or "Foxy Brown". Dolemite probably the most sympathetic pimp you'll ever meet. He would be the bad guy in a Pam Grier movie, though. Classic kung fu-poetic monologue-groovy music-action flick! Good fun!

I'm gonna let 'em know that Dolemite is my name, and f***in' up motherf***ers is my game!

A charmingly filthy, albeit rather amateurish stab at making a macho action-hero persona out of Moore's stand-up sensibility.

The A.V. Club
Moore is so uncharismatic, he works his way back around to become incredibly charismatic, and so does the film.

The A.V. Club
Dolemite's plot has something to do with Moore squaring off against crooked cops and a crooked politician, but as in all of his movies, the story is less important than the cheap entertainment.

TV Guide Magazine
A classic among lovers of truly bad movies.

Over the top, campy, With laughably amateurish kung fu fight scenes, Lots of sudden bizzare editing cuts, but still watchable,
