I know I remember that Robert Towsend played one of the kids in the gym scene, but I can't remember his lines.

Robert Townsend's lines were:
"I got Cochise on my side" and "Somebody ought to kick 'yo a**"
Here's your prize, Honeykiss *RM gives Honeykiss a nicely wrapped large package* Enjoy!!
Now for more entries:
Disco Godfather (1979) a Rudy Ray Moore film (Dolemite). Dolemite is a former cop who campaigns against PCP after his basketball star nephew trips out on it. Numerous scenes of hallucinations complete with cartoonish gunfire and blood spurting out (also cartoonish).
Note: I picked what many said was the worst Rudy Ray Moore movie. I would not riff on "Dolemite" or "The Human Tornado" for three reasons: One--they are considered "good movies" as far as their genre goes. Two--It would be too easy; everybody and their mama has done it, I like fresh territory. Three--it's kinda redundant; both movies really make fun of themselves in a way.
The Black Witch Project (2002)--another version of the acclaimed "Blair Witch Project" movie. I haven't seen this one yet and a commentary is coming soon.
Any Master P movie (I'm 'Bout It, MP Da Last Don, etc.)
Note: while this isn't a black movie, I had to include this because I considered this to be the Mary J. Blige of movies:
Epicenter (2000). An FBI agent pursues an intelligence criminal in the aftermath of a major LA earthquake. This movie had a major gunfight right in the middle of the quake. I'm talkin' things are falling left and right and folk is just shootin' away like nothing is happening. This movie ripped off scenes from three different movies:
Metro (the car chase/streetcar scene)
Money Train (during the quake, the "money train" derails and cartwheels)
Speed (two kids stuck in an elevator barely escapes and the elevator almost cut a girl's legs off before it comes crashing below. Notice the harness-hook trying to hold the elevator left over from "Speed").
Cmon now, keep em comin'
