Priest is a prince of the streets, a charismatic businessman who wants out of cocaine-dealing. But a mysterious kingpin doesn’t want Priest to change his ways. And that triggers murder, revenge and double-crosses that push Priest into a corner — and heat the neighborhood to flash point.

Super Fly is one of the more enduring streetwise films of its era, due to the dynamic central performance of Ron O’Neal (Red Dawn, Original Gangstas), the sizzling score by Curtis Mayfield and the gritty direction of the late Gordon Parks, Jr. (Three the Hard Way, Aaron Loves Angela). Super Fly is super entertainment with an indelible message. It’s life on the edge, put together by talents who know just how sharp it can get.

I already thanked this announcement on another thread but I’m hitting thanks on this thread just to register my approval of the cover art.

Also when I scanned the list of features I misread Les Dunham as Lena Dunham! Wouldn’t that be insane?

Good job, Warner Archive. Keep it up!

I wouldn’t hold your breath. I think they’ll release them but not any time soon with Son of Shaft more than a year away. I’d like to see them do the TV series on Blu too. Warner Archive did release a DVD version.

Now all that is left for a great transfer no too inky, background motion blur transfer.

GoodAsBlu · 05-17-2018, 12:33 AM

Another very welcomed WAC release.

SuperFlyHighGuy · 05-17-2018, 05:39 AM

John Earls Umbrella · 06-17-2018, 03:50 PM

Amazingly I've never seen this even though it's my favourite era but I may hold fire for the HMV exclusive in the UK which include the postcards. That's if I can wait.
