Priest is a prince of the streets, a charismatic businessman who wants out of cocaine-dealing. But a mysterious kingpin doesn't want Priest to change his ways. And that triggers murder, revenge and double crosses that push priest into a corner-and heat the neighbourhood to flash point. Superfly is one of the more eduring streetwise films of its era, due to the dynamic central performace of Ron O'Neal, the sizzling score by Curtis Mayfield and the gritty direction of the late Gordon Parks, Jr. Super Fly is super entertainment with an idelible message. It's life on the edge, put together by talents who know just how sharp it can get. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

I can't help it, but I just didn’t enjoy this. It tries to look pretty cool, which it manages to do in some moments, and it has excellent music, but for me, that's where all the interesting stuff in this movie ends. The story isn't great and the performances didn't impress me much either. Every now and then, the editing still manages to surprise.
