Reviews
Human Tornado is a cult
"Human Tornado is a cult classic that delivers over-the-top humor and outrageous stunts. Starring Rudy Ray Moore, the film is a sequel to "Dolemite" and features a mix of blaxploitation and comedy. While its low-budget production values and campy dialogue may not appeal to everyone, fans appreciate its irreverent style and memorable one-liners. 7 out of 10"
I'm a human tornado!
"Of all the Rudy Ray Moore films this might be my favorite one. His films are hard to explain to untrained viewer. Its a beautiful blend of the genres. Endlessly entertaining and hilarious. VinSyn has done a beautiful job with all these titles."
