Superfly

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2004 Filmcritic.com

Ron O'Neil's name in Superfly is actually Youngblood Priest, and that's not the only part that's been forgotten about this oft-referenced but little-seen exploitation flick. Mainly, the world that's thrilled to "superfly" as a hip term has forgotten how lame this production actually is. Drug dealer, big score, wants to get out of the biz. Yawn. That he invites a blood feud into his world and bangs a procession of honeys is almost beside the point. Skip it.
