Classic blaxlpoitation film is still one of the best to come out of the genre. O'Neal gives a fine (but always funky) performance in one of the last movies before the genre ate itself and became self-parody. Terrific soudtrack.

The moral ambiguity of the film may disturb some viewers, but the film smacks of realistic grit throughout.

Gordon Parks Jr. was one of the greatest casualties of the collapse of blaxploitation cinema, a director with a distinctive, tightly packed visual style nd a remarkably bitter vision for this supposedly escapist genre.

Curtis Mayfield's sizzling score may be the most enduringly superfly aspect of this blaxploitation classic.

O'Neal functioned as a suave but deadly post-Poitier antihero for an increasingly militant urban audience...

Drug dealer, big score, wants to get out of the biz. Yawn.

A very good movie.

The likes of 'Pusherman' and 'Freddie's Dead' provide the film with heart and depth that would otherwise be absent.

Super Fly, one of the most significant blaxploitation films ever made, is as fascinatingly entertaining as it is ethically wrongheaded.

...about the dead-end despair of ghetto life, where the false independence of a criminal enterprise is really just another form of enslavement.

One of the most successful of the early '70s blaxploitation cycle.

Probably the best film of the blaxploitation experience.
