These days, given Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s glorification of dealers and gangsters as hopelessly hip, it&#8217;s easy to accept Priest as a viable protagonist, someone we want to root for despite his questionable lifestyle. O&#8217;Neal &#8212; a stage-trained actor &#8212; has much to do with the film&#8217;s overall success; his performance is spot-on. While the story starts to lag about 2\/3rds of the way through, the remainder of the scenes are shot with skill and energy, making this an exciting journey back to 1970s Harlem.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ron O&#8217;Neal as Priest<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/superfly-priest.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/superfly-priest.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4453\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Effective use of gritty Harlem streets<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/superfly-streets.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/superfly-streets.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4452\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Nate Adams&#8217; flamboyant &#8217;70s outfits<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/superfly-outfits.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/superfly-outfits.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4454\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The Curtis Mayfield Experience performing &#8220;Pusherman&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/curtis-mayfield-superfly.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/curtis-mayfield-superfly.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4455\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Several exciting action sequences<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/superfly-opening-chase.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/superfly-opening-chase.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4456\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The controversial &#8220;coke montage&#8221; (photographed by Gordon Parks, Sr.)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/superfly-montage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/superfly-montage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4451\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The surprisingly satisfying ending<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Superfly-Ending.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Superfly-Ending-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-68063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Superfly-Ending-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Superfly-Ending-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Superfly-Ending-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Superfly-Ending-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Superfly-Ending-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Superfly-Ending-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/Superfly-Ending.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Curtis Mayfield&#8217;s funky score<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, for its status as a seminal Blaxploitation flick.
