This movie and soundtrack was an icon all through my growing up in the 70s. But I didn't actually see it till I was about 30. I am glad, Super Fly is not for kids, it is not even for teens, this is a movie for grown folks. It is an excellent 70s underworld movie. It is an excellent move.
I remember my brother getting the soundtrack album shortly after the movie came out .we wore that album out. Then all of a sudden 1971 and 72 cadillac Eldorado convertibles became very popular. After the movie premiered .
When Superfly first came out way back in the day, we were taken to see this move many, many times. This movie had a major impact on all of us, while growing up.

Bullshit. A lot of us work "jive jobs for chump change." But it's better than risking jail or death by dealing dope. That's why this movie was such a bad influence.
@@lwmson that's your opinion. Not every wealthy person starts out legit and I'm not even talking about moving dope. You gotta figure out how to beat the system because its counting on you to keep thinking small.
@@Turshin It's not my opinion. It is a FACT that you are likely to up wind either dead or in prison when dealing drugs, and I have seen both happen to people I know who learned this the hard way.
+wildbill9919 I too was born in 1972 when this great, now classic film was released. I first saw "SuperFly" at the age of 16. My interest up until that time from the age of about 8 to see it was peaked when my parents told me they went to see it at the theaters and what a trendsetter this film was in terms of dress, lingo, and style 💯
Ron O'Neal was one heavy dude in this mother. Crime, action, good lines and dope chicks plus the legend Curtis Mayfield- buy the damn vinyl soundtrack to complete the full enjoyment of this edu-taintment street pulp cinema blaxploitation classic. The film that inspired some of the best funk of all time and some of the top rappers like Ice-T, Snoop, Cube and many others.
Hey, I know U made this comment 2 years ago & you got a decent # of 👍. I am just an average white girl who is confused but wants to learn more about this. Who or what is the Original Super Fly? Or was the comment about something else to do with the movie? I appreciate any feedback from any1. Thanks
Sept.1st: Happy birthday Actor-Director-Screenwriter Ron O'Neal (1937-2004) Drama Desk Award: Outstanding Performance, Obie Award. wrote and directed "Superfly T.N.T." Thank you and God bless. RIP....thanks for the upload, Moviecclips Trailer Vault. Blessings
Just checked out the new trailer. The amount of DOOOOO noises in the new one makes it unwatchable. New Priest sucks he is too young. And just overall it looks lame. They should have given it a 70s theme. The modern one is just cringey
This movie was dope & the remake will be dope too. If u never hustled then u can't relate to the dope game. The Superfly culture in the blk community was back then, now & in the future to come. PBL/MOB
What it MEANS to be a badguy has changed. The attire, the money, the women, the drugs. When SCARFACE was remade in Miami to be about a Cuban, it updated the caliber and conversation about the criminal mind. So when they remake this in ATL, keep in mind the world has changed.
Today's times are not boring to young people. On this note, the '70s seemed boring to people who came of age in the 40's swing era and the War Years. It's all a matter of opinion. To young adults today, Ron Oneal's Superfly looks like caveman drawings. That's just reality. Myself being 43, I like the Ron Oneal version better. I like this 70's era, as do you. But you can't expect young people to see it the way we do. A 23 year old today was born in 1995, for crying out loud. Try to see it their way.
I kinda feel you on that point man... I am not that old.. not that young either.. 35 to be exact. You kinda on point wit the "caveman drawings" reference.. :-) .. TImes have changed, we just have to get along. :-)
Ain't nothing like the original. The soundtrack by the late great Curtis Mayfield is one of my all-time favorites. The remake may be even better, but I doubt it.
I'm going to say something here contrary to what most people said about the movie here. I grew up in that era but was too young to see the movie because of the rating. When I saw it it for the first time, it was with a critics eye, and not of watching the movie for the first time in that era, unfortunately. I thought the movie was not that good. Although I did my research on Ron O'Neal, and knew he was a great stage actor. What made the film? The soundtrack. Curtis Mayfield in my opinion, is underrated as far as his song writing. He has made iconic songs for the era of the civil rights movement (people get ready) as well as this sound track, Claudine, let's do it again, and sparkle.
I'm 64 yrs old and love the 1972 version BUT it's a new millennium, y'all. This new Priest looks fly as hell. I can barely stand the wait: taking from the Cartels??? hells yeah!!!!
Its been a few weeks now: family members think the remake is very good, want to see it twice. Is the soundtrack as dope as the original? Mayfield won a Grammy for it.
La Verne Thornton My mom will be 64 next month and saw the original film in the theater and even shes open to watching the remake once it's on demand or blue ray.
Def comedy brought me here. I'm watching this dude with the captain hat. And I was like OHH shoot there's an old version of superfly!! I'm glad I haven't watched it yet. Imma watch the first one then the second one
I finally get to see who Ron O'neal is. After watching Menace To Society and the opening 25 years ago, I always wondered who this Ron O'neal was. Now I can see why they call him "The Superfly. Lol. Good stuff.
Sheila Frazier said when she auditioned for the part of "Georgia" there were a lot of actresses trying for the part. She mentioned Roslind Cash. I can't see Roslind Cash playing opposite Ron O'neal in this movie. Roslind seemed too hard looking for the part.
The clothes and the Eldo mesmerized this white kid as a high school senior. I didn't care for the drugs, but I thought it would be cool to walk around like Youngblood.
IF Sig Shore and Ron O'neal would have brought back Phillip Fenty ( the original screenplay writer of the SuperFly movie) for SuperFly T.NT, it would have been a better movie. It needed it's ORIGINAL Flavor.

One of the dopest soundtracks ever made!! Curtis Mayfield was a genius!!
I would say one of the greatest soundtracks ever for any movie
He was a baaaad man, indeed!!
I was 16 when Superfly came out in 1972. Everybody loved it. "He's got a plan to stick it to the man!"
I was 21! Wow how time flies 😂💕
I was 15. I'd wait all night for the song to play on the radio.
I was 1.

He not just fly he’s *s u p e r f l y*
THIS MOVIE IS STILL A PURE CLASSIC AFTER 50 YEARS.
Yes sir
Ron O Neil was smooth as hell. I loved this movie.....RIP KING
Curtis Mayfield made Super Fly, like Issac Hayes made Shaft.
Both were Great Musicians, Producers & Writers!
It was cool as Ron O'Neal. The appreciation for the soundtrack came later.
I remember my brother getting the soundtrack album shortly after the movie came out .we wore that album out. Then all of a sudden 1971 and 72 cadillac Eldorado convertibles became very popular. After the movie premiered .

Super Fly got hops!
@@kaspafischer yup, it was cool though..
Yep! And No Stunt Man!
That was all Ron O'Neal!

Wish I could go back to those "cool" days of the early 70's 💜
damn u old
Except for the fashion 😂
Me to
When Superfly first came out way back in the day, we were taken to see this move many, many times. This movie had a major impact on all of us, while growing up.
Unfortunately.
I always had a crush on Superfly, they should bring back the way they talked in the 70s lol
Right on! Ya dig?
Stop taĺking jive turkey
Adolph Ceasar narrating, Curtis Mayfield with the music.. can't lose

THIS DUDE IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD
Now that's the real superfly right there in 1970s 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶
(1:15) Curtis Mayfield was a smooooove Brotha.
Now I see where Pharrell Williams gets his style.
I was born the year the movie was released. But didn't see it until I bought it on DVD about 6 years ago. Great movie.

The new one was okay,but the original will always be SUPER FLY!
Yup! The original is much better!
TRUTH
Unnecessary remake, the original will always be eternal and unique!
The 2018 remake of Superfly can never hold a candle up to this true 1972 original
Remake was trash.
💯👍🏽
Awwww y'all I liked the Remake 😂😂😂😂
The fight scenes were cool tho
Made zero sense to remake this. It's pure 70s! Doesn't work in any other decade. It was bound to fail
This is the movie I want to see, not that remake that's coming out this summer.
The1baddman if you want to see that movie then watch it
remake sucks
Greg Childress remake is better than the original
I sure hope that they don't remake this. The movie was immoral to begin with.
I would just like to know if you feel the same even after seeing the remake if you did?
A True Classic!
0:13 Logo animation done by Robert Abel and Associates.
Really? They did the 1976 Columbia logo now they done this? Amazing
Nothing like a real OG ! This new movie did him no justice at all
Good Movie, Great Love Scene & Soundtracks.
I got this movie in my collection also in 720p. Nice 1972 classic
You know what, my dad still has a movie: superfly 👒👒👒👒👒
Super Fly (1972)
Starring:
Ron O'Neal
Carl Lee
Songs by Curtis Mayfield
Directed by Gordon Parks Jr.
Produced by Sig Shore
This seems right up my alley, and that soundtrack is fantastic!
Greatest movie ever!!!
He is such a gentleman. I respect Everything he do. Go Trevor.
I can not believe Hollywood is remaking this into a modern film it looks absolutely terrible why are the ruining a classic
Just checked out the new trailer. The amount of DOOOOO noises in the new one makes it unwatchable. New Priest sucks he is too young. And just overall it looks lame. They should have given it a 70s theme. The modern one is just cringey
John Red corn AkeriaRivers I know Right
John Red corn no such thing as film or tapes anymore
To me I don't think the updated Superfly can fk with the original one. I'm old school this the real Priest. 💯
It was actually an amazing movie!
One of the coldest and smoothest movie and soundtracks every!!!
Amazing music from an iconic man x and Craig McMullen is still here doing his thing x amazing musician and friend x
"One Million Dollars !!!! " Dr. Evil 😂
One of the Great Classic of Modern Urban Movie Making (from the Genius of Gordon Parks) It Broke All Bounds! Cheers!

I bought this Amazon and I loved it
❤🎉 Memories.
This movie was dope & the remake will be dope too. If u never hustled then u can't relate to the dope game. The Superfly culture in the blk community was back then, now & in the future to come.
PBL/MOB
Will Collins crickets chirping.....
they should left this movie alone
the original seems to represent the game in an authentic fashion..........then new one looks like a rap video fantasy
Andro Libre LMAO facts
Will Collins By a person apparently with NO POSITIVE MORAL VALUES.
Great movie, Great soundtrack!!!
I need to watch this 😂👌🏽
Never saw the movie but the soundtrack was FIRE
It is excellent! You will laugh! You will cry! All at the same time!
“Working some jive job for chump change.”

Best thing about this movie was the soundtrack

Aaron Ray not for the better! You can't beat the 1970's cars, fashion , music. Today's times are utterly boring .

Just saw the remake was not bad, wish they used more of the original sound track
I finally get to see who Ron O'neal is. After watching Menace To Society and the opening 25 years ago, I always wondered who this Ron O'neal was. Now I can see why they call him "The Superfly. Lol. Good stuff.

great i see the whole movie in a trailer :D
Was. A. Good movie. Miss. Ron. O. Neal.
Don’t forget… not only did Curtis mayfield produce the soundtrack. He also composed the music score that plays throughout the entire film.
What’s the song at the beginning of the trailer like when he was jumping the fence
It's on the original soundtrack for this movie. the title is Junkie Chase. Check out the 1972 Original sountrack for SuperFly.
Best line @0:39
I was born in December of 1972.
Been listening to the music from this for nearly a decade but never watched it! Time to download.
Gotta say. For a boring movie, it has one of the best soundtracks of all time.
Super Fly Eldorado looks so cool
I'd rather see the original. Looks like it has actually character development and a good plot.
I love the remake of this movie. It’s so much more relatable to modern times.Now everyone gets to enjoy 😉
Are you... Serious?
There's a little bit of black in all of us - there must be: in order to be just a little FLY.
