Danielle Spencer Los Angeles Free Press 10/30/2019
The Human Tornado has plenty of violence and sex. A plot would be nice but, what the hell, you can't have everything. Go to Full Review

7/10
The Human Tornado is basically a variety show. Spliced into the plot are stand-up routines, belly dancers, fire swallowers and musicians. This format fits the Dolemite character perfectly, as it keeps the film within the appropriate context. Go to Full Review

Rudy Ray Moore's signature style of guerilla blaxploitation filmmaking is as defiant, ribald, and outrageously funny as anything in the genre. Go to Full Review

01/17/2020 Probably the best of Rudy Ray Moore films, this is a good mix of seriousness and comedy. Definitely a great improvement over the first Dolemite See more 10/26/2019 I love the original Dolemite for sure, but the Human Tornado is better. It's funnier and the campy action moves the film at a fun pace. Don't mind the poor acting, low budget, and sloppy fight choreography, this movie is entertaining from start to finish! If you saw Dolemite is my name, a lot of the scene recreations were from The Human Tornado. See more 07/29/2018 A lot more hilarious and outrageous than its predecessor. The kung-fu scenes are amped up, and are entertaining as hell. See more camille l 03/22/2016 Probablement encore moins drôle que le premier Dolemite car beaucoup plus assumé et donc conscient de sa propre nullité, The Human Tornado, cette fois réalisé par Cliff Roquemore, est un thriller comique pathétique, cousu de fil blanc et joué par un Rudy Ray Moore qui n'a jamais été aussi ridicule. Plus gras qu'un Steven Seagal période 2007 et enchaînant les coups de pieds retournés et les punchlines très gênantes, Rudy Ray Moore se retrouve embringué dans une histoire qu'on aurait refusé pour Smokey and the Bandit 4. La Blaxploitation a probablement du bon. Dolemite n'en fait pas partie. Même la bande-son est flemmarde à souhait. See more 09/23/2014 Even more outrageous and technically flawed than the original, and just as memorable. See more 09/04/2014 70's exploitation at its best with funny dialogue and corny fight scenes.
