* DumbassHasAPoint: Moore might be lacking in talent or filmmaking know-how, but after D'Urville snarks at the film crew that they should just turn off all the lights so no one has to look at a particularly contrived upcoming scene, Moore pulls him aside and calls him out for his blatant unprofessionalism. It actually gets D'Urville to clam up.

* HypocriticalHumour: Earlier in the movie, while still working at a record store, Rudy dismisses Redd Foxx's comedy routine as not being very funny, because it's just a bunch of raunchiness. Later, this would prove to be most of his act as Dolemite.

* {{Determinator}}: Rudy Ray Moore is middle-aged, overweight, and of middling talent in practically every field he tries, be it comedy, music, dance, etc. But he is bound and determined to make something of himself, and will make himself a star through hard work and perseverance.

* {{Determinator}}: Rudy Ray Moore is middle-aged, overweight, and of middling talent in practically every field he tries, be it comedy, music, dance, etc. But he is bound and determined to make something of himself, and will make himself a star through hard work and perseverance. He perfected his lines and his characters so willingly that he became a master of comedy and improvisation. Certainly much better than other comedy films that portray the main character achieving stardom while not even trying, just for his "talent".
