The Return of Superfly

UGH! Really disgusting and atrocious! What an insult to the original and T.N.T. My emergency gallbladder surgery was less painful than this hideous movie! It's so sad that we can't give zero Stars. 1 star is one too many! RON O'NEIL IS THE ONE AND ONLY SUPERFLY...PERIOD!

This movie essentially incorporates elements of the first two films ("Superfly" and "Superfly T.N.T.") with "Youngblood Priest" (played by Nathan Purdee) still living in Europe and having just heard about the violent murder of his former partner "Eddie" (Rony Clanton). Although he has no great affection for him he still feels an obligation to find out who killed him. The problem is, that having been gone for almost ten years, Harlem has changed quite a bit and with very few friends to help him out the odds are stacked against him. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film was nowhere close to the original movie in that it didn't have the same depth or raw passion. It also had a couple of scenes that should have been detailed more thoroughly as well. In any case, while this movie certainly didn't measure up to its potential, I suppose it was adequate enough and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.

This is one of the worst movies ever made!! I was so dissapointed when I saw this, I almost walked out! I was thinking that this would pick up where the original "SuperFly" left of. The plot, if it was one, was lost at the beginning. The actor who played "Priest", I don't even remember this guys name, but he couldn't act to save his life. Margaret Avery, ("Color Purple", "Which Way Is Up?") who is a pretty good actress, was totally lost in this horrible movie. This movie was just plain terrible. Bad writing, bad directing, bad acting, it was just plain BAD!!! You couldn't even pay me to see this again, that's how bad it was!! No wonder Ron O'Neal didn't reprise his role as Priest, it was BAD!! This movie is a total waste of time.

This POS is a disgrace to the original 1972 SuperFly. The only reason why I gave it 2 stars is because an actor going by the name of Sam Jackson (Samuel L. Jackson) has a small part in this schlockfest of a film. Other than that, this is a movie to miss.

I avoided this movie for 30 plus years. No other reason: Tico Wells and Leonard L Thomas is worth watching this movie. One of the best supporting cast assemble, which is a problem as I more interested in Tico and Leonard than the lead. Second problem: The clock was never set. I paused the movie with 20 minutes remaining to see the end, it could have went on FOREVER. The ending: The ending is to clever for its own good.
