5 Stars! “When you love a work of art, it transcends traditional criticism. Pointing out flaws or applying structure is utterly meaningless. ‘Love’ is a word I use to describe my feelings for the films of Rudy Ray Moore…to me the greatest film in Moore’s storied filmography is the 1979 masterpiece Petey Wheatstraw.” (Flickering Myth)

8/10 Stars! “the film features everything you’ve come to love—or hate, if you’re no fun—from the outlandish stand-up turned minor movie star.” (Film Threat)

“If your RRM collection stopped with the Dolemite films, you are really missing out on this horror-comedy blaxploitation gem from 1977, showcasing all of the sensibilities that have endeared Moore to his legion of underground fans.” (Horror News Network)

ABOUT THE MOVIE:
Rudy Ray Moore is Petey Wheatstraw, whose talent for comedy is only topped by his gift for Kung Fu. When his arch rivals, Leroy and Skillet, massacre him and his friends, Petey ends up in Hell and is given a unique opportunity: in exchange for his return to earth, he must wed Satan’s daughter.
