Richard Vollin 28th Jun 2017		Rated 10/10 Harlem coke dealer Youngblood Priest (Ron O'Neal) wants to cash in and enjoy an early retirement, but before he can walk away, he has to choreograph an elaborate scheme to move 30 kilos of blow to enjoy the pimp lifestyle he's become accustomed to. Add to that, an opposing mix of partners, fair-weather friends, street pushers, thugs, his girlfriends, and even the Deputy Police Commissioner, all of whom would like to see him stay put. In the film, the streets of New York never looked better; litter everywhere, grime and graffiti, overcast skies, and everyone looks cold and miserable. It's a fairly straight portrayal for it's period, and never hokey or camp. The team of Sig Shore, and Gordon Parks, Jr. created a film that quickly became an integral part of the fabric of American pop culture. Super Fly can also attribute much of it's colatteral success to Curtis Mayfield's brilliant soundtrack, just as Isaac Hayes had done for Shaft the previous year. Mayfield and his group appeared in the film, and released two singles, both of which were Top 10 hits. He also made a large number of television appearances performing the songs Freddie's Dead, and Superfly. Those songs helped extend the film's shelf life, and keep it in neighborhood theaters well past it's expiration date. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
