From the first notes of the impossibly cool soundtrack by CURTIS MAYFIELD I was in the groove. A film like this makes you feel cool to be a human. The ability to swing your arms as you walk, to hear that funky beat and put it in your steps. The look of the world of a seventies black film is fantastic.
The feel for the film is authentic, because well it is authentic. Superfly's outfits rock, as do his hair and sideburns. Oh yeah, and the car. What a cool car? Superfly-mobile!!!
Then there is the startlingly cool still frame montage to the tune of PUSHERMAN, which is one of the coolest Blaxpoitation theme songs. And then you have the dialogue. The political incorrectness was fantastic. I hate sanitizing of film that so many films take in today's world. Check your 2021 sensibilities at the door and get into the flick.
On a technical level, this film may not be great, but it has transcended it's limitations and has become something so much cooler. "Don't ask no questions why cuz I'm Super Fly" 8/10
