[youtube id=”Ws1YIKsuTjQ”]Eddie Murphy brings the late Rudy Ray Moore’s Dolemite alter ego back to life in the Netflix feature Dolemite Is My Name. Murphy is joined by Wesley Snipes, Snoop Dogg, Mike Epps, Luenell, Keegan Michael Key and Craig Robinson in the story how Moore transformed himself into the Kung-Fu fighting X-rated Dolemite character. Hollywood turned Moore away when he approached them in the ’70s and he resisted and went on to create the 1975 cult classic Dolemite. Murphy was last seen in the morose Mr. Church (2016) and this is the first time in years to see him star in a comedy feature. Dolemite Is My Name will debut on Netflix this fall.Â
