This Western took us somewhere we didn't expect!
The Big Picture When the world first learned of Outlaw Johnny Black, it's safe to say that we all expected a gonzo, action comedy like this team's last group effort Black Dynamite. What no one saw coming, though, is that this latest film is... actually kind of touching. Yes, Michael Jai White plays the titular lead just like he did back in 2009, the film acts as a parody of a classic subgenre, and the film is riddled with hilarious bits, but not quite as many as Dynamite.
How Is 'Outlaw Johnny Black' Connected to 'Black Dynamite'? Outlaw Johnny Black has been massively anticipated by fans of Dynamite for years now. The film was first announced back in 2018, with a fake trailer taking the internet by storm. This fake trailer was used because, despite White's success with his previous parody, the film had to be made independently after not being picked up by any major production companies.
Outlaw Johnny Black isn't a revenge film that uses its lead character's initial motives as a springboard for mindless action. By the end of Black Dynamite, you forget that the whole reason he hit the streets in the first place was to avenge the death of his younger brother Jimmy . Instead, you're just wrapped up in the fact that Abraham Lincoln appears as a ghost to aid Dynamite in hand-to-hand combat against Richard Nixon.
'Outlaw Johnny Black' Has a Surprising Religious Angle Black spends the next 20-plus years hating Clayton with everything in him, spending all of his days searching the Wild West for the man who took his father's life. After escaping brief imprisonment, Black wanders through the desert and, on the brink of death, is found by Reverend Percy .
