Be warned that there are legit reasons why this is classified as an adult show. It is crass, violent and sexual. It definitely pushes the envelope. Sound like a good time? Then read on. The Cartoon Network series is based on the 2009 film called Black Dynamite and takes its name from a seventies renaissance man who has some wicked kung-fu moves. Black Dynamite’s (voiced by Michael Jai White) crew is made up of Bullhorn (voiced by Byron Minns), Cream Corn (voiced by Tommy Davidson) and Honey Bee (voiced by Kym Whitley). The main man is seeking revenge for the death of his brother. He is a ladies’ man and an ex-CIA agent. In other words, he is cooler than cool. Not your typical animated series it is filled with imaginative stuff. Funny series that pays props to the Blaxploitation films of the seventies.
