* AnachronismStew: Although set in TheSeventies, the exact year it's set is very muddled, with the plot drawing from events and pop culture from TheSixties to TheNineties. UsefulNotes/RichardNixon is still in office, ''Series/{{Roots|1977}}'' is just premiering, Creator/RichardPryor is debuting on the Sunset Strip, and so on. All the {{Historical In-Joke}}s referencing events decades in the future don't make things any clearer.

** In the pilot "Trouble on Puppet Street," puppet-turned-pimp That Frog Kurtis tries to convince Black Dynamite to spare him, saying that he was a role model father figure to Black Dynamite when his real father abandoned him. However, it's all just a distraction to try and pull a knife on him.

The series does not follow the same StylisticSuck of the movie. Instead it ratchets up the silliness by mixing in supernatural, extraterrestrial, and just whacked out nonsense to its plots, largely derived from 1970s black pop culture. And ''plenty'' of LampshadeHanging as Black Dynamite and his crew take on any threats that seek to put the black man down.
