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 it. It tries to look quite cool, which it manages to do in some moments, it has excellent music accompaniment, but that's where everything interesting in this movie ends for me. The story is not anything great and even the acting performances didn't really interest me much. Occasionally, there are still surprising cuts.
