    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The script called for a "penny hustler," but Rudy Ray Moore and Jerry Jones were unable to find a suitable actor through Moore's acquaintances or among Jones' acting class students. After filming began, Moore and Jones were traveling down Western Avenue in Los Angeles when they spotted the exact type of character they were looking for hustling on the street. They pulled over, Jones got out and talked to the man, and Vanius Rackstraw was hired as "The Creeper / Hamburger Pimp" on the spot.
    • Goofs
      A singer is clearly lip syncing during Dolemite's club re-opening. As the song finishes on a high note, she steps away from the mic, and her mouth is no longer moving.
