  • "Undeniably exciting" is what Leonard Maltin calls this pioneering film that kicked off the entire "blaxploitation" action film genre of the 1970s. When you're born, raised and trapped in the ghetto, you want to get out any way you can -- in this case, it's a Harlem drug dealer trying to set up a retirement fund before he quits the business for good.

Movie Reviews of Superfly

Movie Review: Superfly, you're gonna make your fortune by and by
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this movie. It's about a drug dealer getting out of the life. He has some bumps along the way, loses some friends, gains some enemies, and the outcome, you'll just have to watch and see.

Summary of Superfly

Ron O'Neal in the smart, streetwise box office success about a pusher who tries to make one last killer deal before kicking the business. Featuring a hit Curtis Mayfield score. Year: 1972 Director: Gordon Parks, Jr. Starring: Ron O'Neal, Carl Lee, Julius W. Harris
The pinnacle of blaxploitation movies, the 1972 Superfly stars Ron O'Neal as a drug dealer who wants out of the business but decides to take out some enemies in the process. With its criminal hero, one might almost think this could be an existential crime movie, but no...it's really just an effective piece of pulp with a strong performance by O'Neal, grim settings, cool direction by Gordon Parks Jr., and a famous soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield. --Tom Keogh
