Summary: The Costume Designer Was On Point
Comment: Instead of giving props to the movie, which was marginal at best. I'll speak on the costume designer. Bravo for the clothes...they were "Out Of Sight!" Also, Priest's car was the sickest car I've ever seen in my life...I want one.

Summary: "SUPERFLY"- Ron Neal
Comment: The late 1960's to early 70's period produced many great classic films and "Superfly" starring Ron Neal is definitely one of them.
The story of a New York City's Harlem and drug dealing pimp who wants out of the business is brilliantly portrayed by Neal in this unforgettable classic. Watch as you transport yourself to a far better era. Like the old saying goes, "they sure don't make movies like they used to". Not to be missed by fans of this by gone era and this classic film genre.

Summary: Superfly is still the movie, after 35 years of its original release!!!
Comment: This film is one of the best films that was released in the 1970s blaxploitation era. Ron O'Neal was very convincing as a drug dealer trying to leave the life behind. Even though I was born in 1982, this film still resonates with me, because a lot of dudes who were born in the 1980s, feel as if being a drug dealer is something to glamorize and become, but it's not. There are only two ways out, either a stint in prison, or the graveyard.

Summary: "I'm looking to get out of the life"
Comment: I was born in the 60's so i was a kid when these "blaxploitation" films came out,and even though i was under the legal age to see them at the time I saw my fare share regardless.Superfly was a film I didn't see until in my 20's and its in my top 3.Don't focus on the title or the flashy clothes/car,focus on the message.This was a young cat who came to the realization that there's more to life than the drug game ,but he's not willing to "work for chump change"either.I totally agree with Jenks in his review.Why wait until you're jailed,old,or dead before you finally get it.Even though Priest had a plan it just goes to show you "the man " doesn't want us doing anything productive.This movie is for all young cats hustlin' and living the life.KNOW WHEN TO FOLD 'EM.

Summary: A classic black film for the ages!
Comment: Ron O'neal gave his best performance as an actor in this 70's classic. It showed the story of a street hustler focused on getting out of the drug game, inspite of his colleagues trying to hold him back. Gordon Parks Jr. did an excellent job directing this urban drama classic. The story line was superb as well as the cast that appeared in the film. Sheila Frazier is still quite a foxx to this day. Eddie really should've known better than to leave his main man Priest hangin' at the end. I was glad to see Priest sho nuff stick it to the man at the end of the movie.
